Canada · digital rights · public mandate
Your data should not be a product. Algorithms that affect jobs, credit, or speech should be explainable. Federal privacy law needs to catch up. Add your name to a public mandate — then help us open a real House of Commons e-petition so Parliament must respond.
You came from a paper sheet — thank you. Add your digital support below, and keep collecting original ink signatures for the legal paper path.
What this page is: a public mandate for digital human rights, grounded in SherpaCarta (114 articles, CC0). Your signature here builds proof of support and momentum. What it is not: a signature on Parliament’s website. Only a live Commons e-### (or original paper presented by an MP) counts in the House.

Mass surveillance and surveillance advertising treat private life as inventory. Canadians deserve law that puts people first.
Automated systems score people for work, credit, and access. When they do, you deserve plain-language answers and fair process.
MPs respond to organized constituents. A public mandate, paper sheets, and an official e-petition are how that pressure becomes formal.
Laws do not move because a website “went viral.” They move when citizens show up in forms Parliament recognizes — and when organizers make the ask easy for an MP.
Fast, privacy-first. Proves Canadians care. Shareable. Builds numbers and cryptographic receipts. Does not count in the House.
You are hereOriginal ink under the prayer text. An MP can present sheets with as few as 25 certified signatures. Works while we wait for e-###.
Needs an MP to authorize publication, then 500+ validated signatures on Parliament’s site (with email confirm). After presentation, the government must respond.
Use the mandate, briefing, and SherpaCarta articles to push modernized privacy law, data sovereignty, and algorithmic accountability.
Your commitment is stored as a SHA-256 receipt. We may sync only a hash, province, and method — not your street address or ID.
Only Parliament’s site (e-###) or original paper presented by an MP counts toward a formal House process.
petitions.parl.gc.caPriority articles include privacy & surveillance (11–13), erasure (47), algorithmic fairness (61–62), and rights that may only expand (114). Full charter: sherpacarta.org · Federal e-petition wording
Lowest friction, full honesty. This is your public mandate signature — not the Commons e-petition.
Enter a name, select your province or territory, and confirm citizenship or residency to unlock Sign.
Stored as a SHA-256 receipt on this device. Optional sync to our privacy-first total (hash + province + method only).
Still public-mandate only (not Parliament). A passkey, Nostr event, or device key makes your local receipt harder to forge.
A public mandate proves demand. An official e-petition is how that demand becomes a formal instrument: published on Parliament’s site, open for 120 days (typical), needing 500 confirmed signatures, then presentation and a required government response.

Creating an e-petition happens on petitions.ourcommons.ca — not here. We provide the prayer text, briefing, and mandate numbers so an organizer or MP office can act quickly. When e-### is live, this page will point you straight to Parliament’s signature form.
Legal path available today. Collect original signatures under the prayer; an MP can present with 25+ certified names.
Print sheetsOne-pager language, model articles, and an honest dual-track story. Authorization is not a full endorsement of every article.
MP briefingNo. This page is a public mandate. Parliament only counts signatures on a live e-petition at ourcommons.ca / petitions.parl.gc.ca, or original paper presented by an MP. We keep those numbers separate on purpose.
Canadian citizens and residents of Canada, including citizens living abroad (self-attested). No government ID and no minimum age for this page. Official e-petition rules on Parliament’s site still apply when that path is live.
A receipt on your device (local storage). Optionally we sync a hash of your receipt, province/territory, method, and attestation flag — not phone, street address, or ID documents. Optional wall display only if you check that box.
It means moving from public support numbers to a formal House of Commons e-petition (e-###): MP authorization, Clerk process, then 500 confirmed signatures on Parliament’s website. This site cannot host official e-signatures for you.
Yes — any Canadian who meets Parliament’s rules can create a petition on the official portal, gather supporters, and invite an MP. Use our drafted federal prayer and briefing so the ask is ready. Start at the portal link above, then use /canada/official for tools and checklist.
Optional proof: open Satohash with a SHA-256 of the petition text or your device’s merkle root. “Pending” is not the same as Bitcoin-confirmed. It is cryptographic integrity — not a Parliamentary signature.
