The government has rammed through extreme new legislation, Bill C-51, that even The Globe and Mail says will lead to "Secret Police" in Canada.
Thousands of Canadians are coming together to stop this reckless, dangerous, and ineffective secret police bill.
The government has been caught engaging in secretive, expensive, and out of control spying on our private lives.
SECRETIVE: The government has been caught tracking law-abiding Canadians and collecting our sensitive private data.2,3
EXPENSIVE: The government is about to spend $4-billion of our tax dollars to house new spying operations.4
OUT OF CONTROL: In recent years there have been over 3,000 breaches of sensitive citizen data, affecting approximately 725,000 of us.5
