I can’t believe we need a petition for this, but here we are. Please sign and stop the ignorant chuds from recording vulnerable citizens.

New petition sponsored by Liberal MP Arielle Kayabaga calls for a new criminal offence banning recording / publishing video of vulnerable people in public, including those who are homeless, experiencing mental health crises or impaired due to substance use www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Petition to the Government of Canada Whereas: • Houseless individuals and those that struggle with mental health are especially vulnerable to exploitation given their circumstances; • The law currently allows these vulnerable people to be filmed and posted on social media without their knowledge and consent often while experiencing crisis; • This practice puts at risk the safety of this community by allowing those that may mean them harm, a tool to find them. This is especially relevant considering that this population that has a high number of domestic violence survivors and is at higher risk for sexual exploitation; • This act can increase stigmatization and of these groups by showing only snapshots of people suffering or in crisis, with no additional context or education; and • This community is unlikely to have the resources to seek out civil remedies and criminal remedies against harassment and thus should be afforded extra protection. We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to create a new provision in the Criminal Code that would make it an offence to knowingly record in public, a person the recorder knows is experiencing "prescribed circumstance of significant vulnerability" for the purposes of publishing or distributing that recording to the public. "Prescribed circumstance of significant vulnerability" include: (a) experiencing homelessness; ( b) experiencing a mental-health crisis or other acute psychological crisis; (c) experiencing significant impairment resulting from alcohol, drugs, or another substance; and (d) experiencing another prescribed circumstance that substantially increases the person's vulnerability to exploitation or serious harm from public exposure.

I can't believe I have to say this, the Canadian government ONLY controls the land and the airport they own, we do not own the airlines, the airlines set the prices, not the government, any sales of real estate space in the airports would not affect pricing for airlines. sighs....

“American Exceptionalism is a toxic belief system that deludes people into believing the US is powerful enough to stand alone and it plays directly into the hands of the Oligarch Class. America cannot stand alone. Everything is connected at every level”

“This is the latest — and the largest — sign that a New World Order is fast developing, one that doesn’t include the US.”

I see this as win-win-win: • Canada reduces its dependency on the United States • Conservative MPs and right-wing influencers can finally live out their fantasy of staging their own Brexit • I don’t have to stand in line at customs for 45 mins at the Frankfurt airport

“Ursula von der Leyen said Europe wants to open the door for Canada to become an ‘associate member’ of the European Union. ‘I would like to work with you on opening the door for Canada to be the first associate member of the EU,’ von der Leyen said Wednesday, drawing a standing ovation”
