Privacy is a birthright — not a product feature
Mass surveillance, opaque algorithms, and surveillance advertising are rewriting power over ordinary life — jobs, credit, speech, and private spaces. SherpaCarta is a living Digital Magna Carta: 114 articles Canadians can organize around. This hub turns that charter into a visible public mandate — and, with an MP, an official House of Commons e-petition.
Every campaign commitment, paper sheet, and public post builds the case that Canadians want privacy by design, data sovereignty, and algorithmic accountability. We never fake Parliamentary numbers. We build real pressure — then convert it into official process when a Member of Parliament sponsors us. Your name (or pseudonym) is not sold, not tracked for ads, and not quietly mixed into an e-petition total that doesn’t exist yet.
Limits on mass and commercial surveillance, meaningful consent, and a practical right to erasure are civil liberties — not niche tech hobbyhorses.
Hiring, credit, content, and policing increasingly run on automated scores. You deserve plain-language explanation and non-discrimination.
Campaign volume and paper sheets prove demand. Official e-petitions need that signal — and one MP willing to authorize e-###.
Honest language: Campaign totals on this site are not House of Commons signatures. They build the movement and help us win an MP. When an official e-### is live, we deep-link it from the official path and this hub.
One fluid journey. Start where you are. Every step strengthens the next.
Three honest channels. Never blurred. Do A and B now; C opens when Parliament publishes e-###.

Government response after presentation
Open official pathThe official page has status, federal prayer text, an organizer checklist, MP finder links, and a ready-to-send outreach email. You don’t need to be a lobbyist — you need to be a constituent who asks.

One honest line: Canadians are building a digital-rights mandate with a dual-track petition.
Self-reported digital campaign only — not Parliamentary counts. Every province lights the map.
No — and we say so clearly. Campaign signs build mandate. Official e-signatures only count on petitions.ourcommons.ca after an MP publishes an e-###. Paper sheets are a separate legal path an MP can present.
MPs authorize petitions when they see demand. Campaign volume, paper ink, and public conversation are the argument. Waiting for Parliament first is how issues stay invisible.
Not for the campaign. Campaign form: name or pseudonym, province, citizen/resident attestation. Official e-petitions (on Parliament’s site) use email confirmation — still no ID upload.
At 500+ validated signatures it can be presented in the House; the government must respond within 45 days after presentation. That is formal leverage — which is why we treat the path carefully and honestly.
