Be the change you want to see in the world! If you disagree with this bill don’t sit idle!
I too receive auto-replies from my MP.
I have an MP i can reliably count on to vote against bullshit like this, which means i have nobody who is accountable to me to write emails to.

I am Canadian.

I think this bill is absolutely horrible.

What do you want me to do?

Raise awareness about the legislation and what it means for the average person (bans on iMessage, WhatsApp, Signal, VPNs, etc...) You need to also start emailing and calling members of the Senate, telling them to reject the bill.
Drive to Ottawa and take over the downtown core.

This is a coordination problem, so people can't do anything.
It’s over. If it got this far, they wanted this.

there is literally nothing people can do. the party in charge has a majority government and a media biased enough to sell this bill as a positive thing.

the only thing that could make a difference is if apple, whatsapp, and instagram all blocked canadians from using those services. the liberal party and the media would still find a way to blame trump for it, and the pm's popularity would increase.

That is literally what is going to happen if this legislation is allowed to pass. WhatsApp will block Canada, and Apple will remove any impacted service from Canada, like iMessage.

If that's true, wouldn't it be a good thing? It would be repealed.

But I don't think that's true. They will comply. They always comply.

Remember that media bias comes from being state funded media. Of course they're going to massage the narrative towards the party giving them funding.
