A live Zoom solidarity broadcast running round-the-clock, 24/7 beginning at 7 PM Eastern on Monday, March 8 and not stopping until the Prime Minister withdraws Bill C7 or adjourns Parliament and returns to the drawing board.
From the blog:
Parliament is scheduled to sit March 8-12 and March 22-26. Somewhere during that interval, it appears that the Prime Minister is planning to pass Bill C7 – likely sooner rather than later. The Bloc Québecois has signalled its intention to vote with the liberals in favour of Bill C7. The Prime Minister therefore has the votes that he requires to invoke closure on the current debates about Bill C7 and to force a vote that right now he knows he will win.
This proposal takes root in a desire to do everything we can to make it more and more difficult for individual MP’s in all parties to support the Prime Minister and his cabinet in their shameful quest. People who have been working intensely on the campaign to stop Bill C7, and before that, the campaign calling for appeal of the Truchon decision, and before that, on the campaign to be heard in the courts that considered the Truchon and the Lamb challenges – we are angry, exhausted and disillusioned, but no one is ready to give up.
In a different era, this would be the moment to put our bodies on the line, in mass protests on Parliament Hill and across the country. In the COVID-19 era, we will put our bodies, our lives, our passion and our culture on the line virtually, and we dare our government representatives to look away.
