I hope you are allowed to operate in Canada Freely. If I am right, there is already something called Bill C-22, which is again a censorship and state level surveillance act under the guise of Child protection. Sooner or later Canada introduce this rule too.

The bill to watch on age verification is S-209 (the "S" because it originates in the Senate). Section 12(2) includes the requirements for potential verification methods. https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/45-1/bill/S-209/first-...

Keep an eye on michaelgeist.ca. If there are petitions to sign to oppose it, you'll probably find out there.

Carney also recently signaled that he was open to a "debate" on a child social media ban. Such a ban would likely be enforced by age verification.

You should preemptively be messaging the Liberal cabinet ministers. And make sure to explicitly demand that anything that could force age verification or age assurance on Canadians is rejected:

> Marc Miller (Heritage Minister, the minister responsible for the upcoming online harms legislation that might implement such a ban): [email protected]

> Sean Fraser (Justice Minister): [email protected]

> Mark Carney (Prime Minister): [email protected]

> Mélanie Joly (Minister of Industry): [email protected]

It may also be worth messaging:

> Gary Anandasangaree (Minister of Public Safety): [email protected]

> Rechie Valdez (Minister of Women and Gender Equality): [email protected]
