[Citron] No Kings! (Unless They're Progressive)
Human beings have spent the better part of history attempting to break free from the yoke of hereditary rule. The majority of revolutions in history have been focused on taking power away from a few royal families. Emperors, dictators, and kings. Progressivism has been at the forefront of this fight.
The irony abounds then, when it comes to former Toronto city councillor Mike Layton. When asked about running for the federal NDP just 17 days ago, Mike Layton said: “My family and my work…remain my focus right now.”
Well, in a sense, today Layton put his money where his mouth was and backed that statement up: he’s looking to spend more time with his stepmother at City Hall come October 26th.
Agir contre C-22 (big brother) au fédéral (Canada)
Chose promise, chose dû.
Considérant que la plupart des entités touchées par le projet de loi C-22 sont de jurisdiction fédérale, il faut agir au fédéral.
C-22 propose d'assouplir la sécurité, créer des trous de sécurité (backdoor, donner les clés d'encryption au gouvernement), collecter beaucoup de données non anonymes et autres mesures dans le genre pour leur permettre de conduire des chasses aux criminels (principalement des pédophiles) sans mandat en englobant dans le même panier tous les Canadiens. Ça affecterait tout le monde. C'est présentement à l'étude au sénat. Plus de détails ci-dessous.
Vous êtes invités à contacter votre député(e) fédéral et au moins un(e) sénateur(trice) pour faire pression.
Il y a des précédents. Faire pression a déjà fait reculer le gouvernement dans des dossiers similaires par le passé. Nous sommes capables de changer les choses!

Voici un exemple de lettre.
>English below.
>Je vous écris aujourd’hui concernant le projet de Loi C-22 sur la collecte de données des Canadiens qui a passé au Parlement en juin 2026 et qui est à l’étude au sénat. Nous sommes beaucoup à être inquiets par le projet de loi, qui ouvrirait beaucoup de portes à des fuites de données ainsi qu’à une grave atteinte à la vie privée des Canadiens.
>L’expérience passée en Allemagne et aux É.-U. a démontré que de tels projets de loi n’augmentent pas la sécurité et ne diminuent pas le taux de criminalité dans les domaines ciblés. S’il y a de quoi, l’inverse a plutôt eu lieu.
>Malgré les avertissements des spécialistes rencontrés par le parlement, le gouvernement Carney désire tout de même aller de l’avant. Il n’y a pas de que les spécialistes qui ont averti le Canada; les États-Unis aussi.
>Le Canada demanderait d’avoir des accès aux clefs de cryptage et des portes dérobées dans certains systèmes pour pouvoir conduire leurs recherches. Les États-Unis les ont avertis que c’était dangereux et créaient un précédent où des pirates et des pays hostiles pourraient emprunter ces canaux pour pirater eux aussi ces systèmes. Ça s’est déjà vu, entre autres, avec la Chine.
>Pour finir, l’Allemagne a déjà eu une politique de rétention de données telle que proposée par C-22 et non seulement ça n’a pas augmenté la sécurité du pays, mais ils ont reculé et aboli cette mesure. Encore une fois, les États-Unis ont averti le Canada que la rétention de données était une mauvaise idée. Dans un monde où les brèches de données sont monnaie courante, forcer les fournisseurs Internet, cellulaires et autres à conserver ces données pendant un an aurait pour conséquence de mettre les Canadiens à risque de brèches de données, de par l’existence de celles-ci, ou par l’ajout des nouvelles portes dérobées. Des compagnies privées ont annoncé qu’elles refuseraient de diminuer la sécurité de leurs systèmes et d’ajouter des trous de sécurité. S’il le fallait, elles quitteraient le territoire. (Proton, DuckDuckGo, Signal, Windscribe, NordVPN) D’autres ont émis des mises en garde : Apple, Meta, Google.
>Somme toute, C-22 a déjà été testé ailleurs dans le monde et ce n’est ni sécuritaire (fuites de données), ni utile. Il n’y a pas eu de gain observable en sécurité ou de baisse de criminalité.
>Protégez les Canadiens et refusez l’état policier proposé par C-22. Il n’est pas nécessaire de renverser le fardeau de la preuve et surveiller tous les citoyens pour une supposée chasse aux criminels.
>English
>This missive is about bill C-22 on data collection on Canadian citizens which passed in parliament in June 2026 and is now at its first reading by the Senate. A lot of Canadians are concerned by the bill, which would act as a gateway for data breaches and would be a serious offence into the private lives of millions of citizens.
>Past experiences in both Germany and the USA have shown such laws do not increase security nor decrease criminality in the targeted fields. If anything, the security breaches have had quite the opposite effects when taken into account.
>Despite the warnings by specialists consulted by the parliament, the Carney government still wants to go forward with C-22. Canada wasn’t only warned by specialists. The USA themselves also warned the country.
>Canada would ask to have access to encryption keys and hidden doors in certain systems to hunt for criminals. The United States has warned this is very dangerous. There have been previous cases where such a scheme was used and both cybercriminals as well as China are documented to have used said backdoors. It could have a ripple effect and affect systems on the other side of the border.
>Lastly, Germany has had a bill similar to C-22 in the past with data retention. Not only did it not increase the security country-wide, but they rolled back and abolished the measures. Again, the USA warned Canada not to have any data retention. In a world where data breaches are commonplace, forcing Internet service providers, cellular service providers and others to keep all of this data for a year would put Canadians at risk of even more data breaches and identity theft, either by the persistence of the data or by the newly implemented backdoors. Private companies have announced they would refuse to reduce their security by security holes into their systems. If they had to, they’d just leave the territory. (Proton, DuckDuckGo, Signal, Windscribe, NordVPN) Others have issued a warning : Apple, Meta, Google.
>Overall, Bill C-22 has already been tested elsewhere in the world and it is not a way to secure the country, nor would it bring any observable decrease in criminality.
>Protect the Canadians, refuse the police state proposed by C-22. It is not necessary to reverse the burden of proof and perform mass surveillance on all citizens for a supposed hunt on a few criminals.

From the CanadianVisaReform community on Reddit: Tayler Hansen: The Indian Exit Scam Exposed
reddit.comRacist book is poisoning the minds of young men
Earlier today, my son came to me (he's a young adult) and told me about how his friend, who has been growing increasingly radical in over immigration and the economy, was trying to promote a book to him. Apparently, it's being promoted to young men as some fix for the very real cost-of-living crisis and housing crisis.
I looked it up online (it was hard to find), and reading the description, it's very clearly some far-right coo-coo book. There are so many dog whistles here it's not even funny. I wasn't sure what the word remigration meant, its some codeword for deporting immigrants.
Has anyone else seen/heard of this spreading, or am I worrying about nothing? I have anxiety from previous experiences with the far right. Thankfully, I raised my son to be smarter than to fall for such obvious lies. But my son saying it's popular among the youth is worrying me. I feel increasingly like the far right is targeting young men, and they're falling for it. Especially worrying is that he told me that nobody buys it online, it's being handed out at secret events that his friend goes to in Toronto (we live in Brampton), and so my initial relief at the thing's ONE review (lol) was replaced by an even greater anxiety of secret far-right groups organizing.
If anyone knows anything about any of this/knows somebody who knows something, please let me know.
P.S: I also tried posting this on r/Canada but gave up after realizing I didn't/won't have enough karma or time on Reddit to do so anytime soon. I only used reddit before as an observer.
Edit: It doesn't seem to be anything to worry about. The comments have calmed my anxiety. It's likely just some scare/indotronation tactics by the far-right to try and coerce young men and kids into this bs. However, I still think it's important to call it out. My son questioned his friend sometime today, so I was able to learn more. It seems to be some propaganda handed out at far-right rallies to try to hook people in. Basically, vanity publishing trying to fund some right wing exteremism. I'm going to report it to Amazon and whatever else I can to try and get it taken down.

>“Visits by Canadians have cratered by 42% over the last year, cellphone data reveals. If Chapple's cell phone data is an accurate reflection of what's going on, that means Canadians holding back on U.S. travel may have cost the economy about $8.4 billion US and counting.”

Elbows Up? - Canada’s protectionist and statist elites, rather than Trump, are doing the most damage, writes Glen Williams
dorchesterreview.caToronto School of Communism
Capitalism has plunged the world into its deepest crisis in living memory. Billions face skyrocketing costs and austerity, while the ruling class crowns its first trillionaire. The so-called “rules-based international order” is dead: the imperialist vultures arm to the teeth, fighting bitter battles over markets, unconcerned by the bloody destruction left in their wake. Meanwhile, the relentless pursuit of profit is destroying the environment—and putting the very existence of humanity itself into question.
But the billionaires won't get the last word. In just a few years, mass movements have erupted in more than a dozen countries: from Nepal to Kenya, from Serbia to Bangladesh, from France to Italy. Even the US—the belly of the beast of world capitalism—isn't safe, as the Minneapolis uprising shows.
The pattern is clear: we have entered an epoch of revolutions. Millions of ordinary people have begun to question the system and are striving to take their fate into their own hands.
And yet, these revolutions have failed to solve any of the fundamental problems of society. That's because, heroic and inspiring as they are, they have failed to destroy the root cause: capitalism itself.
As the crisis deepens, broader and more powerful revolutionary movements are inevitable—even in Canada. This raises burning questions: How can the working class end capitalism? What ideas and organizations are necessary? What role should communists play?
Join us at the inaugural Toronto School of Communism for answers to these questions. This year's theme is revolutions—we'll study key revolutions from history, the richest source of lessons for revolutionaries today.
No revolutionary movement can succeed without a firm grounding in theory. This school exists to train up a new generation with the ideas needed to win. If you want to end capitalism—you must be there!
