#OpKillBillz Call to Solidarity & Action

Canada is becoming a surveillance state. 

And at the risk of being dismissed as conspiracy theorists, we must state that democracy begins with communication and the free flow of information. The moment our government intrudes in our private communication while labelling dissidents ‘terror threats’, we no longer have the freedom to organize as citizens in a democratic society.

Thus, whether you are a student activist, an occupier, a labour activist, a privacy advocate, or an environmentalist, your basic ability to communicate with those who share your views will soon come under surveillance, censorship, and criminalization.

In the context of a free and democratic society, we argue that of all undemocratic steps taken by the Conservative Government, Bill C-30 has the most chilling consequences of all

There are three major issues Canadians face in regards to the establishment of a surveillance state: Bills C-30, C-10, and S-7. All these bills have devastating implications on freedom and democracy.

Before any of these bills proceed any further, we urgently call upon all Canadians as well as social and political organizations to a national campaign of solidarity.

We propose #OpKillBillz, a national information campaign that draws on the collaboration between all Canadians, unions, activists, organizations. If there was one issue that all Canadians could join collaborate on, we are confident Bill C-30 provides the perfect opportunity. And it will only be the start.

We particularly call upon national unions with already established national networks and organizational experience to assist us organize this campaign. For this campaign to be successful, we will require human resources and the national framework that only large unions could facilitate. 

We are ready to organize… We are waiting on you… Help us organize #OpKillBillz
