Over a quarter of a million Canadians spoke out against Bill C-51 (269,987 at time of writing) with thousands more expressing their concern every day as Canada goosesteps forward with Bill C-51 despite one of Canadas largest protests against it. With yet another National Day of Action to #RepealC51 planned for June 20th
The protest has the following simple demands
- To repeal unconstitutional legislature that violates our charter of rights and freedoms.
- Demonstrate that we will maintain our rights by gathering publicly to speak out as per our constitutional rights.
- Make sure that the Indigenous people of Canada have their voices heard and that their right to consultation without being discriminated against is maintained and demonstrated
- Stop any fear mongering legislation that may be put in place in the future by showing its not wanted, and not needed.
This is the full ‘Call to Action’ text from the Calgary Event Page
This month we raise our voices once again in opposition to Bill C-51, C-44, and the whole cacophony of other charter violating bills that have been released recently. This month we take to the streets with the following objectives in mind;
1. To repeal unconstitutional legislature that violates our charter of rights and freedoms.
2. Demonstrate that we will maintain our rights by gathering publicly to speak out as per our constitutional rights.
3. Make sure that the indigenous people of Canada have their voices heard and that their right to consultation without being discriminated against is maintained and demonstrated
4. Stop any fear mongering legislation that may be put in place in the future by showing its not wanted, and not needed.
Thank you, together lets kill these bills!
