🚨 Read this before they pass the next bill. The Carney government is moving 13 bills that, together, will let them: 👇 📱 Track every Canadian's phone metadata for a year. No suspicion needed. (C-22) ⚡ Cut off your phone or internet by name. No judge. No trial. (C-8) 🤐 Decide what counts as "false" information about voting — 365 days a year. (C-25) 🚫 Block entire platforms by court order. (S-209) This isn't a drill. This is happening now. And most Canadians have no idea there's a tool that's been used by journalists, lawyers, and activists for 20 years to push back. 🧵 — It's called Tor. 🧅 It's free. It's legal in Canada. The US Navy invented it. The BBC, Reuters, the New York Times, and the Guardian all run official Tor versions of their websites so people in censored countries can still read the news. Here's how it works — in plain language. — Normally, when you visit a website, it goes: You → Website 👀 The website knows your IP address. Your phone company knows what site you visited. So does anyone watching the line in between. With Tor, it goes: You → Relay A → Relay B → Relay C → Website And here's the clever part: • Relay A only knows you • Relay B only knows A and C • Relay C only knows the website No single relay knows the whole path. 🔓 — That's why it's called "onion routing." Your data gets wrapped in layers of encryption: 🧅 Layer 1 🧅 Layer 2 🧅 Layer 3 Each relay peels off one layer. None of them can see both who you are AND where you're going at the same time. Without Tor: "This visitor is from Collingwood, Ontario." 📍 With Tor: "This visitor is from a relay in Germany." 🌍 That's the anonymity effect. — Who actually uses Tor? ✅ Journalists protecting sources ✅ Activists in countries that punish dissent ✅ Whistleblowers ✅ Lawyers protecting client files ✅ Researchers studying censorship ✅ Ordinary people who don't want their every click sold to advertisers It is legal in Canada. It is legal in the United States. 🇨🇦 — Let's be honest about what Tor does and doesn't do. ✅ Hides which websites you visit from your phone company. ✅ Hides your real location from the websites you visit. ✅ Lets you read news your government tries to block. ✅ Protects sources, sensitive research, and private conversations. ❌ Doesn't make you invisible. If you log into your real Gmail, Google still knows it's you. ❌ Doesn't replace common sense. Bad clicks still infect your computer. ❌ Doesn't undo bad laws. It's a tool. The fight against the bills still has to happen in Parliament. Think of it like a curtain. Curtains aren't suspicious. They're just privacy. — Why does this matter NOW? Because the laws being written this year decide what "normal" looks like for the next decade. Governments that want to track everyone always start by saying it's for safety. The Canadian Constitution Foundation called C-22 "a tracking device in every Canadian's pocket." 📲 The government's own Secretary of State told Parliament C-22 is just "a first step." First step. Their words. 👀 — Understanding how the internet actually works isn't paranoia. It's literacy. And it's the difference between a country where citizens know what's being done to them — and a country where they don't. — Download Tor ONLY from the official source: torproject.org Never from anywhere else. Fakes are how people get hacked. Share this with one Canadian who needs to see it. 🇨🇦 Stand on Guard.
