We need your help to hit our key target of 300,000 signatures against Bill C-51! The more people that speak out against the bill, the closer we are to getting it repealed. Share our petition to Kill C-51, and compete to win a pro-privacy prize pack!

Canadians have been speaking out1 for months against Bill C-51, dangerous legislation that puts law-abiding Canadians under the government’s microscope.2

Our KillC51.ca campaign is almost at 280,000 signatures — and continues to climb higher every day, with a little help along the way from Margaret Atwood and other prominent Canadians.3

With your help, we can make it past 300,000 — and send Ottawa decision-makers a message they can’t ignore.

That’s why we’re calling on all Canadians to join the Great Canadian Petition Drive to Kill C-51, with the chance to win an awesome pro-privacy prize pack!

To provide a little extra incentive to help us get past this key milestone of 300,000, we’ve put together some pretty great prizes for those who help us reach the most people.

Each person that you get to sign our petition to Kill C-51 between now and August 8 brings you one step closer to a top spot on our Kill C-51 leaderboard, and brings Bill C-51 one step closer to being repealed.

How can you take part?

1. Sign the petition at KillC51.ca
2. Share the petition on social media using the unique share link our tool will provide you with after you sign up
3. Every person that signs the petition from your social media shares puts you one step higher on the leaderboard!

What’s in this pro-privacy prize pack?

• One year unlimited subscription to popular VPN service Tunnelbear
• A Tunnelbear T-Shirt
• A custom OpenMedia privacy T-shirt
• A print copy of OpenMedia’s crowdsourced Privacy Plan
• A copy of Electronic Devices: Privacy Handbook, A Guide To Your Rights, from the B.C. Civil Liberties Association.

We’re just weeks away from a crucial election and we need as many people as possible to call for all the political parties to commit to repealing this reckless legislation. I hope we can count on you, Mic.

Laura,
on behalf of your OpenMedia team.

P.S. It’s never been so important to show politicians just how many Canadians are calling for C-51 be killed, or these measures could be locked in for generations. Take part today!
