The #CCLA warns this move threatens the integrity of Canada's constitutional #democracy.

In its letter to #Smith, the #CCLA stresses that the #SupremeCourt of Canada itself has recognized that #trans and #GenderDiverse people are a "marginalized group that face unique vulnerability to #discrimination and exclusion".
The government's plan, they argue, will only deepen that stigma.

The #CanadianCivilLibertiesAssociation immediately raised concerns.
The #CCLA called the Criminal Code a "blunt instrument" and said it is worried the bill could be used to "criminalize unpopular, dissenting and offensive speech," moving away from a strict public safety agenda.

#Privacy advocates also raise alarms about "function creep".
A driver's license exists to certify driving ability and provide basic identity. This policy, the #CCLA argues, improperly repurposes a foundational document into a tool for #immigration #enforcement and health #surveillance.

The Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) warns this "risks opening the floodgates to discrimination and profiling".

Nicolaides called this 'completely false.'
The CCLA was right. The minister was wrong. The censorship is real.

Got my $200 Ford Gov't Bribe cheque in the mail today.
Gonna donate it to an org that would annoy Doug Ford. Right now I'm thinking the #CCLA; my partner is donating to @cycletoronto.bsky.social.
Let's make a thread of good charities that can use Ford's bribe (and vote him out!)
