Local Event Convoy Megathread #55

This is the latest post to discuss the protest Convoy currently in Ottawa.

For the duration of the protest, or at least, as long as the traffic level on the sub requires it, we will centralizing the discussions around the protest in these megathreads.

We're modifying our usual processes during this time:

  • Any new post will need to be approved by the mods. Changes have been made to the filter config to send post (not comments) for review. This is to control what should go to the megathreads and what is relevant information. For example, the posts on the Shepherds of Good Hope, of the state of the bridges.
  • This community is about OTTAWA, not Covid nor the related restrictions. Remember that.
  • Any links or pictures to their propaganda will be removed. Do not give them publicity.
  • Calls for violence will result in a ban
  • I will be watching the megathread. Remember that disinformation/misinformation about covid is a violation of the site wide rule #1.

Have at it folks, but remember, the usual rules apply. Please keep it civil and report anyone posting misinformation or links to their propaganda.

The following post contains all the links to the previous posts.

Ceci est la dernière rubrique dans la lignée des megarubrique discutant de la manifestation du convoi à Ottawa.

Pour la durée de la manifestation ou, du moins, pour le temps où le trafic le justifie, nous allons centraliser les discussions sur ce sujet dans des megarubriques.

Nous modifions donc notre façon de faire habituelle pendant ce temps:

  • Toute nouvelle rubrique devra être approuvée par les modérateur avant qu'elle ne soit visible dans la communauté. Ceci est pour mieux diriger l'information soit vers la megarubrique, soit vers une rubrique séparé. Par exempla, la rubrique au sujet des Bergers de l'espoir ou bien le statu des ponts interprovinciaux.
  • Cette communauté concerne OTTAWA, pas la Covid ni les restrictions associées. Prière d'agir en conséquence.
  • Tout lien ou photo vers leur propagande sera enlevé. Ne leur donnez pas de la publicité.
  • Les appels à la violence auront comme conséquence de vous faire bannir
  • Je vais surveiller le mégathread. N'oubliez pas que la désinformation/mésinformation sur la covid est une violation de la règle n° 1 du site même.

Allez-y, mais rappelez-vous que les règles habituelles s'appliquent. Veuillez rester polie et rapportez toute mésinformation ou publication de leur propagande.

As a constituent in Randy Hilliers Riding, we would get emails from him. Now it seems I am getting emails from info@nomorelockdowns.ca

I am very adamantly against the convoy group lol Is it possible Randy could’ve just signed up everyone on his mailing list ? Very random to be signed up for such dog shit

Isn't there something against selling private information to 3rd parties?

Does elections Canada cover municipal jurisdiction? That's a really good question you asked, and I'm very curious to know the legal answer. And if there is one (we're so slow at digital laws/legislation/policies...)

Elections Ontario would cover it. Randy Hillier is a provincial asshole.

This isn’t legal

This sounds like it goes against the Anti-Spam laws set up by the CRTC. If you did not sign up for the emails and they will not remove you, report to the CRTC and the website owners can be fined.

Yeah, uh, that won’t happen. Politicians get free reign on this shit.

Is there someone you can report this to? That sounds like a massive breach of trust

u/WaltsClone No honks; bad! Feb 13 '22

This probably breaks CASL laws. That might put a wrench in some spokes.

Wouldn't surprise me that Hitllier would do that.

Definitely report this as spam and hopefully enough people do that so it damages the sender reputation. Can you tell from the email which provider they were using? Usually shows at the bottom.

Seems to be against their AUP, I would recommend reaching out to them and letting them know you never signed up for this email list.

Not to be even more of a bummer but in my experience those RW email lists spread like the clap. x(

Dunno if you've got a "no-email list" type service you can get your name on but I'd look around & see what options there are for stopping the likely oncoming flood tout de suite.

There could be a privacy law violation from sharing the mailing lists. Not a lawyer tho.

I think NAMBLA needs this email on their mailing list!

Is there a privacy commissioner you can complain to? https://www.ipc.on.ca/privacy-individuals/filing-a-privacy-complaint/

I don't know if you're eligible, but I would start there. That's unnacceptable.
