OpenMedia.ca has launched a new “citizen-made online video educating Canadians about the true cost of the government’s online spying legislation C-30 and the threat it poses to personal privacy.” Click on the video to watch, and as the following OpenMedia media release says, share it widely and post to your own websites.

Over 135,000 people have signed OpenMedia’s StopSpying.ca petition and tens of thousands have joined the conversation through the Twitter hashtag #TellVicEverything.
