E-petitions to the House of Commons

Misinformation that denies or distorts the history and harms of the residential school system continues to retraumatize Survivors and their families and contributes to rising anti Indigenous hate in Canada;

Protecting Indigenous peoples from hate-based misinformation aligns with Canada’s commitments to reconciliation and with the National Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action;

The federal government has a responsibility to protect Indigenous peoples from hate and the incitement of violence, and has the authority to prevent the promotion of hatred against identifiable groups through the Criminal Code;

Bill C-254, introduced by MP Leah Gazan in the House of Commons on October 31, 2025, would amend the Criminal Code to create an offence of wilfully promoting hatred against Indigenous peoples by condoning, denying, downplaying, or justifying the Indian Residential School system in public statements.

We, the undersigned,residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato:1. Support and advance Bill C-254 through all stages of the legislative process and pass it into law; 1. Support and advance Bill C-254 through all stages of the legislative process and pass it into law; 2. Affirm the federal government’s obligation to combat anti Indigenous hate, including public denial or distortion of the residential school system; and 3. Ensure adequate resources for public education, Survivor led initiatives, and community based responses to residential school denialism and anti Indigenous hate.

Canada's cultural exports are a fundamental part of our national identity and heritage;

Canada's national identity champions values of inclusivity, tolerance, democracy, justice, and civil rights;

BioWare is one of Canada's most important cultural exports to the world in the 21st century, selling tens of millions of units of their video games globally;

BioWare's productions champion the values of inclusivity, tolerance, democracy, justice, and civil rights that are at the centre of Canada's national identity;

BioWare has been shuttered by its American parent company Electronic Arts, now owned by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners; and

BioWare's closure represents an immense loss to and possibly a targeted attack on Canada's cultural legacy.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato:1. Provide BioWare with the capital necessary to secure independence of themselves and their intellectual property from Electronic Arts and resume business as an independent, Canadian company;2. Protect Canadian businesses and cultural institutions from being dictated by American and foreign corporate interests; and3. Champion the values of inclusivity, tolerance, democracy, justice, and civil rights at the centre of Canada's national identity by preserving BioWare's invaluable contribution to the global entertainment industry. 1. Provide BioWare with the capital necessary to secure independence of themselves and their intellectual property from Electronic Arts and resume business as an independent, Canadian company; 2. Protect Canadian businesses and cultural institutions from being dictated by American and foreign corporate interests; and 3. Champion the values of inclusivity, tolerance, democracy, justice, and civil rights at the centre of Canada's national identity by preserving BioWare's invaluable contribution to the global entertainment industry.

The Copyright Modernization Act came into force on November 7th 2012;

There was substantial pressure from the United States of America to enact copyright legislation similar to their Digital Millennium Copyright Act;

The Copyright Act now prohibits circumvention of Technological Protection Measures (TPMs), with some limited exceptions;

Many of the exceptions to copyright infringement detailed in the Copyright Act cannot be exercised without bypassing some form of TPM;

This prohibition is in tension with the Charter rights of Canadians to freedom of expression and prevents the use of adaptive technologies used by people with perceptual disabilities because it prohibits circumvention even where no copyright infringement occurs;

This prohibition has facilitated widespread anti-competitive behaviour by corporations, resulting in significant costs to citizens and residents of Canada, such as "tied selling" of consumables including printer ink cartridges;

Legal restrictions on circumventing TPMs limit certain repair activities and contribute to electronic waste;

These negative effects were anticipated at the time the Copyright Modernization Act was drafted, but were considered a reasonable price to pay to facilitate trade with the USA;

The United States of America has recently imposed significant tariffs on imports from Canada;

Canada has many innovative technologists who could produce innovative, consumer-friendly, reasonably-priced devices that would enable people all over the world to break these technologically-imposed monopolies; and

Parliament has attempted to mitigate some of these effects with bills C-244 and C-294, with limited effect.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato repeal sections 41.1 to 41.21 of the Copyright Act.

Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena (UAP) reported within Canadian airspace may have implications for aviation safety, national security, scientific inquiry, and public confidence;

The Government of Canada’s Sky Canada Project identified gaps in the collection, analysis, coordination, and public reporting of UAP information and recommended greater transparency, scientific investigation, and public access to UAP data;

Credible UAP incidents should be appropriately documented and investigated without presuming their origin or nature; and

Canadians should have reasonable access to government-held UAP information where disclosure would not compromise national security, public safety, personal privacy, intelligence sources or methods, or Canada’s international obligations.

We, the undersigned,residents and citizens of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato:1. Establish a coordinated federal framework for documenting, analyzing, and investigating UAP incidents involving Canadian airspace;2. Establish appropriate parliamentary oversight of federal UAP policies, investigations, and information, including mechanisms for reviewing classified information where necessary;3. Direct federal departments and agencies to review historical and contemporary UAP records for declassification and public release to the greatest extent permitted by law;4. Establish a centralized, publicly accessible repository for releasable federal UAP records, reports, and findings; and5. Provide periodic public reporting concerning UAP incidents investigated by the Government of Canada, including findings and explanations where they can responsibly be disclosed. 1.

From April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026, visitors spent $6.5 billion in communities near national parks and historic sites with net contribution to Canada of $5.9 billion in GDP, $3.4 billion in labour income, $839 million in taxes for all levels of government, and 58,736 FTE jobs. These contributions and economic diversification are essential for northern, remote, and rural communities;

Parks Canada employees volunteer for firefighting, EMS, SAR, sport teams, cultural and indigenous activities, citizen science, and many other activities. “Workforce adjustments” will result in the relocation of individuals and families, and the loss of crucial volunteers and professionals, leading to potentially devastating losses to northern, remote, and rural communities;

Parks Canada's "workforce adjustments" will severely curtail or terminate many services, reducing the quality of visitor experiences and risking the safety of visitors and wildlife;

Parks Canada's "workforce adjustments" undermines Canada’s obligations to First Nations and Inuit under land claims and cooperative management agreements, and could result in legal challenges under Section 35 of the Constitution Act; and

The Government of Canada’s commitment to “protect biodiversity through the conservation of 30% of lands by 2030 and to contribute to this goal by establishing ten new national parks” will be undermined by Parks Canada's "workforce adjustments".

We, the undersigned,Citizens and residents of Canada, electors of the Yukon, NWT, Nunavut, and residents of northern, remote, and rural communities, call upon theMinister of the Environment, Climate Change and Natureto immediately suspend planned “workforce adjustments” at Parks Canada pending a comprehensive independent arm’s-length review of Parks Canada Mandated and Operational Priorities, and the consequential realistic impact to northern, remote, and rural communities across Canada, and by extension the impact to Arctic security and sovereignty.

In August 2019, Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) approved a policy to recognize expired Venezuelan passports as valid for an additional period of five years past their printed expiration date;

The ongoing geopolitical crisis and lack of direct consular representation in Canada continue to prevent thousands of Venezuelan citizens and permanent residents from obtaining or renewing travel documents;

The current 5-year waiver is fast approaching its limit for a vast number of early arrivals, placing vulnerable families, workers, and students at immediate risk of losing their legal immigration status, employability, and basic rights in Canada;

International allies, such as the United States, have successfully expanded their protective measures by recognizing the validity of expired Venezuelan passports for a period of ten years to alleviate this administrative bottleneck; and

Failing to update this policy undermines the economic and social integration of the Venezuelan diaspora, who actively contribute to Canadian society.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato:1. Extend the current policy to formally recognize the validity of expired Venezuelan passports for a total period of ten (10) years from their original expiry date;2. Implement flexible measures and regulatory guidelines for immigration processes involving Venezuelan nationals who cannot meet standard identity document requirements due to passport expiration; and3. Instruct Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) officers to explicitly take into account the systemic and severe difficulties in obtaining official Venezuelan identity documents when evaluating and adjudicating temporary residence, permanent residence, and citizenship applications. 1. Extend the current policy to formally recognize the validity of expired Venezuelan passports for a total period of ten (10) years from their original expiry date; 2.

Canada has had a longstanding tradition of including prayer in military ceremonies, such as Remembrance Day, where members of all faiths have been invited to reflect and/or pray the way they wish;

Despite a unanimous motion passed in the House of Commons on November 8, 2024, affirming Chaplains’ right to pray during such ceremonies, the Department of National Defence under the Liberal government issued Military Personnel Instruction 03/26 in 2026 prohibiting military chaplains and personnel from reciting traditional, faith-specific prayers, mentioning God, or wearing explicit religious symbols during official, mandatory public events;

“Military Personnel Instruction 03/26” dishonours the legacy of Chaplains who have served Canadian Forces and their families courageously during peace and war; and

The Supreme Court of Canada recognized the right to declare religious beliefs openly without fear of hindrance or reprisal guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms under Section 2(a) Freedom of Religion and Conscience.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theMinister of National Defenceto reverse the discriminatory religious directive “Military Personnel Instruction 03/26” and reinstate Canada’s tradition of freedom to pray at official Remembrance Day ceremonies.

Nature is essential to the health and well-being of Canadians;

Canada’s environmental laws ensure that development minimizes its impacts on nature and people;

Bill C-39 weakens Canada’s environmental laws and enables environmentally harmful activities;

For example, Bill C-39 allows construction to start before environmental risks are fully assessed, allows companies to pay to “offset” environmental damage rather than avoid or repair it, despite research showing that such offsets rarely counterbalance harms, and allows the cost of environmental measures to influence whether a project must implement them; and

Bill C-39 gives Ministers – whose responsibilities do not include environmental protection – the ability to remove or change environmental safeguards.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commonsto:1. Ensure Bill C-39’s accelerated environmental assessments, consultation, and permitting do not reduce the protection of nature;2. Remove from Bill C-39 the ability for construction to start before environmental assessments are complete;3. Remove from Bill C-39 changes that allow companies to pay fees to offset harm to fish and fish habitat;4. Remove from Bill C-39 the rule allowing the “technical, economic and practical feasibility” of protection measures to affect permit conditions;5. Remove from Bill C-39 the changes that would give greater power to bypass current federal environmental laws, including making the Building Canada Act permanent and allowing for ‘pre-approved regions’ of development; and6. Reject the proposal to allow ministers to “adjust” environmental conditions for projects. 1. Ensure Bill C-39’s accelerated environmental assessments, consultation, and permitting do not reduce the protection of nature; 2. Remove from Bill C-39 the ability for construction to start before environmental assessments are complete; 3. Remove from Bill C-39 changes that allow companies to pay fees to offset harm to fish and fish habitat; 4.

Non-sexual recreational nudity is a peaceful practice across Canadian parks, trails, and beaches, enjoyed by a significant percentage of Canadians across all demographics, including young adults;

Studies link non-sexual recreational clothing-freedom to measurably improved body image, social cohesion, and psychological well-being;

Neuroscience further shows social nudity optimizes human perception, as the fusiform area processes whole human forms holistically rather than as objects—a cognitive tuning mechanism that enhances rapid pattern recognition critical for aligning human cognition with complex systems like Grassmann-manifold-structured AI, thereby positioning Canada for a profound national economic advantage;

Section 174 of the Criminal Code criminalizes being "nude in a public place" without defining "nudity" to distinguish non-sexual nakedness from indecent conduct, creating legal uncertainty; and

Multiple Canadian jurisdictions exercise de facto tolerance, but the lack of federal clarity leaves participants, municipalities, and law enforcement without clear legal footing.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commons in Parliament assembledto: 1. Amend Section 174 of the Criminal Code of Canada to clarify that the simple state of being without clothing does not, in itself, constitute indecent conduct, provided it is non-sexual and unaccompanied by independently unlawful behaviour; and 2. Direct the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights to study this amendment to establish clear federal guidance for law enforcement and municipal authorities, ensuring enforcement reflects contemporary Canadian recreational norms.

Canadians rely on mobile phones to contact 9-1-1, receive emergency alerts and maintain essential communication;

Residents of rural and underserved communities continue to report weak, intermittent or unavailable cellular service, including where predicted coverage does not reflect reliable service in practice;

Some households depend on Wi-Fi calling because direct cellular service is inadequate, leaving them without dependable mobile communication when internet service or electrical power is lost;

A predicted cellular signal does not ensure that a basic or emergency call can be completed reliably;

Community-generated evidence can help identify persistent service gaps that predictive coverage mapping may miss; and

Reliable cellular connectivity is therefore an issue of public safety, emergency access and communications resilience.

We, the undersigned,Residents and Citizens of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato: 1. Recognize reliable basic cellular connectivity as an essential component of public safety and emergency communications; 2. Advance federal mobile-coverage reporting standards that measure real-world reliability, including the ability to complete basic and emergency voice calls, rather than predicted signal availability alone; 3. Establish a transparent mechanism through which community reports of persistent cellular gaps can help validate coverage data and inform federal regulatory, spectrum and infrastructure decisions; 4. Include service resilience during power and internet outages as a criterion when assessing basic mobile service; and 5. Use available federal telecommunications, spectrum, infrastructure-sharing and funding authorities to address documented cellular gaps in rural and underserved communities.

There is a critical safeguarding gap where children, or likenesses and dolls intended to represent children, can appear in otherwise non-explicit social media or promotional content used to advertise or drive engagement for commercial adult-content businesses;

Children cannot consent to being associated with, or used to market and promote, commercial pornography or adult-content enterprises;

Current federal law does not explicitly prohibit the inclusion of children or child representations in non-explicit marketing materials that serve to promote adult-content businesses or platforms; and

Establishing clear legal boundaries to protect children from being used as promotional or engagement tools for adult-oriented businesses is an urgent public safety and child protection priority within federal jurisdiction.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commons in Parliament assembledto:1. Introduce legislation and amend the Criminal Code to make it illegal to use children, or their likeness (including synthetic media, digital representations, or child-like dolls), in advertising, promotional material, or social media content used to promote commercial pornography or adult-content businesses, regardless of whether the material featuring the child is itself sexually explicit; and2. Create enforceable accountability mechanisms for platforms and commercial entities that permit or monetize such promotional material. 1. Introduce legislation and amend the Criminal Code to make it illegal to use children, or their likeness (including synthetic media, digital representations, or child-like dolls), in advertising, promotional material, or social media content used to promote commercial pornography or adult-content businesses, regardless of whether the material featuring the child is itself sexually explicit; and 2. Create enforceable accountability mechanisms for platforms and commercial entities that permit or monetize such promotional material.

Prayer, chaplaincy and religious services were part of Canadian service members' lived experience in both World Wars;

Remembrance Day exists to remember those who served, including their traditions and beliefs;

Veterans Affairs Canada recognizes prayers and sacred traditions within commemorative ceremonies that "pass on the traditions of remembrance";

King George VI called his people to prayer for the forces liberating Europe on D-Day, 6 June 1944, and to thanksgiving to God and remembrance of the fallen on VE Day, 8 May 1945;

During the Second World War, Father Michael Dalton served as Roman Catholic chaplain to the brigade that included the Essex Scottish, celebrating Mass and providing confession, prayer and pastoral care to its soldiers;

Major Frederick Tilston, VC, as Essex Scottish adjutant, documented working with its padres to assist with burials;

The Royal Canadian Dragoons, whose Colonel-in-Chief is King Charles III, preserve Regimental Prayers and a Christian Regimental Hymn, and in 2022 their chaplain read the Regimental Prayer commemorating their 1945 liberation of Leeuwarden;

Historically documented regimental prayers, religious services and traditions of remembrance form part of Canada's cultural, historical and military heritage; and

Preserving that heritage does not require any person to profess a religion or participate in prayer.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato ensure that Canadian Armed Forces policies permit historically appropriate prayers and religious observances at Remembrance Day ceremonies, including denominational and regimental prayers associated with Canada's military history, with participation entirely voluntary.

Historic O'Keefe Ranch, located near Vernon, British Columbia, was established in 1867 and represents one of the earliest ranching settlements in the Okanagan Valley;

The Ranch marked the end of the historic wagon road into the Okanagan Valley, served as a meeting place with the Syilx (Okanagan) People, and developed into a self-sustaining community with a post office, blacksmith shops, grist mill, church, cemetery, residences and working ranch lands;

Its original buildings, artifacts, archival records and cultural landscapes provide an irreplaceable record of early settlement, agriculture, transportation, commerce and community life in British Columbia's Interior;

Historic O'Keefe Ranch provides a unique educational experience that cannot be fully replicated through books or media. Its history must be experienced firsthand to appreciate the lives, challenges and contributions of those who came before us;

The preservation of this historic site and its educational heritage for future generations is of significant public interest.

We, the undersigned,Citizens and Residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato Work with Parks Canada, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada, the City of Vernon, the Syilx (Okanagan) Nation and community heritage organizations to assess Historic O'Keefe Ranch for National Historic Site designation and explore federal measures to support its long-term preservation and educational heritage for future generations.

Approximately 4,500 Canadian Armed Forces members served in the 1990–1991 Persian Gulf War under Operation FRICTION, marking Canada’s first offensive military action since the Korean War and a milestone for women in combat roles;

The Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs reconfirmed in 2025 that the Persian Gulf War was a war, acknowledging that while no CAF members died in active combat, veterans suffered lasting injuries and subsequent service-attributable deaths;

The National War Memorial in Ottawa is Canada’s central place of remembrance and bears the dates of major operations, including 1899–1902, 1914–1918, 1939–1945, 1950–1953, and 2001–2014; and

Despite parliamentary recognition, the dates 1990–1991 remain missing from the National War Memorial.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theMinister of Veterans Affairsto:1. Formally recognize the service and sacrifice of Canadian Persian Gulf War veterans by adding the dates 1990–1991 to the National War Memorial in Ottawa; and2. Rededicate the National War Memorial upon adding these dates to permanently commemorate Canada’s service in the Persian Gulf War alongside other major conflicts. 1. Formally recognize the service and sacrifice of Canadian Persian Gulf War veterans by adding the dates 1990–1991 to the National War Memorial in Ottawa; and 2. Rededicate the National War Memorial upon adding these dates to permanently commemorate Canada’s service in the Persian Gulf War alongside other major conflicts.

Canada’s own security guidance warns that drones from non-trusted suppliers can transfer data to foreign jurisdictions and be switched off remotely;

One of the first companies awarded contracts under the Defence Drone Initiative has received investment from a firm backed by Donald Trump Junior;

The Kushner family profits from the growth of foreign military drone contracts while collecting over one hundred million dollars in fees from Gulf sovereign funds; and

Canada has nearly four hundred qualified Canadian suppliers and a termination-for-convenience clause that limits any financial exposure from cancelling foreign-backed contracts.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commons in Parliament assembledto require :1. That all military drones procured by the Government of Canada be manufactured by Canadian-owned companies,2. That all drone software and flight data be stored on Canadian soil;3. That full disclosure of any foreign ownership or investment in every supplier be made public before any contract is signed; and4. That the Government of Canada prioritize Canadian-owned manufacturers for all military drone procurement and protect Canadian sovereignty over the data and software that could be used against us. 1. That all military drones procured by the Government of Canada be manufactured by Canadian-owned companies, 2. That all drone software and flight data be stored on Canadian soil; 3. That full disclosure of any foreign ownership or investment in every supplier be made public before any contract is signed; and 4. That the Government of Canada prioritize Canadian-owned manufacturers for all military drone procurement and protect Canadian sovereignty over the data and software that could be used against us.

Serious animal cruelty, sexual abuse of animals, torture and intentional killing cause immense suffering;

Existing protections and consequences may not adequately prevent repeat offences or protect animals from convicted offenders; and

Stronger accountability, enforcement and prevention measures are needed across Canada.

We, the undersigned,citizens or residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commonsto:1. Establish a national, publicly searchable registry of individuals convicted of serious animal abuse offences; 2. Strengthen Criminal Code penalties for serious animal cruelty offences, including encouraging prosecution by indictment where appropriate and meaningful custodial sentences that reflect the severity of the offence; 3. Introduce escalating penalties and long-term or lifetime animal ownership and access bans for serious and repeat offenders; 4. Work with provinces and territories to establish responsible animal rehoming safeguards, including adopter screening and formal agreements; 5. Increase funding, specialized training and forensic resources for animal cruelty investigations and prosecutions; 6. Establish appropriate psychological risk assessments and information-sharing frameworks to address credible risks to children, vulnerable individuals and public safety; and 7. Work with provincial and territorial governments to strengthen animal seizure powers, enforcement and animal welfare protections across Canada.

The Government of Canada's own death certificates recorded Canadians who fell in the First and Second World Wars as "Canadian" citizens;

The Government of Canada now says they were never citizens — that Canadian citizenship only began on January 1, 1947; and

The Government of Canada has conceded before the Supreme Court that Canadian citizenship existed as early as 1870 (Manitoba Metis Federation Inc. v. Canada (AG), 2013 SCC 14)

We, the undersigned,citizens of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commons in Parliament assembledto formally acknowledge that the 111,000 Canadians who fell in the First and Second World Wars were Canadian citizens — and that Canadian citizenship and the legal rights of citizenship existed before January 1, 1947.

Seasonal industries are essential to the economic and social vitality in many regions across Canada;

Seasonal workers pay their full share of employment insurance premiums but may find themselves without income between the end of their benefits and their return to employment, a period often referred to as the “spring gap”;

This period puts families in a vulnerable position, reduces spending at local businesses and undermines the stability of services provided to the public;

The number of hours required to qualify for benefits is far too high given the short duration of seasonal work;

Employment Insurance Economic Regions are not aligned with local circumstances, and fluctuations in regional unemployment rates limit access to benefits or their duration;

Measures tailored to seasonal industries promote workforce retention and community resilience.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commons in Parliament assembledto:1. Implement permanent employment insurance measures that bridge the gap between the end of benefits and the return to work in seasonal industries; 2. Reduce the number of hours required to qualify for benefits and increase the number of eligible weeks; 3. Review the Employment Insurance Economic Regions to ensure that they are better aligned with local circumstances; and 4. Move from consultation to action without delay, given that various consultations have already been conducted.

Canadians increasingly rely on telecommunications providers for essential services, including mobile, internet and telephone services;

Consumers can face lengthy telephone hold times, repeated transfers, dropped calls, automated systems refusing calls because of high call volumes, and difficulty reaching a representative capable of resolving concerns;

Existing consumer-protection rules establish important rights relating to contracts, billing, cancellation and other matters, but do not establish a clear maximum time for consumers to obtain meaningful access to customer service;

A consumer's ability to exercise rights is significantly reduced when they cannot reasonably reach their provider; and

Timely access to human customer service should be considered a basic component of consumer protection, particularly when routine transactions are increasingly handled through online self-service and automated systems.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commons in Parliament assembledto:1. Direct the CRTC to establish a clear, measurable and enforceable customer-service access standard for telecommunications providers; 2. Establish a maximum 10-minute telephone hold time for customers seeking access to human customer service, while allowing the CRTC to determine appropriate methods of measurement and reasonable exceptions for extraordinary circumstances; 3. Ensure meeting the standard requires meaningful access to a human representative capable of beginning to address the concern, rather than merely connecting to an automated system, unnecessary transfer, or further waiting; and 4. Establish meaningful and proportional consequences for providers that persistently fail.

Canadian children are constantly exposed to aggressive marketing of unhealthy, often ultra-processed, food and beverages high in sodium, sugars, or saturated fats across digital platforms, television, and public spaces;

With cognitive, emotional and decision-making abilities still developing, children are especially vulnerable to persuasive marketing tactics that can undermine caregivers’ efforts to support healthy eating;

Children aged 9 – 13 in Canada get over half of their daily calories from ultra-processed foods;

Marketing of these products shapes food preferences and eating behaviours during key developmental years, contributing to dietary patterns that can persist into adulthood;

Poor diets contribute to chronic illnesses. In 2023, an estimated 31,000 deaths and a burden of $28 billion were related to dietary factors in Canada;

Importantly, evidence shows that marketing restrictions do not increase food prices, contribute to job or wage reductions or harm to industry revenues;

80% of Canadians agree that advertising and social media create pressure on children to consume unhealthy products, and 76% support restrictions per a 2026 Environics poll;

By introducing such regulations, the government will support long-term health and economic benefits, freeing families from the influence of targeted marketing; and

Failing to act perpetuates avoidable costs, with preventable chronic disease continuing to pressure our health care system.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theHouse of Commonsto direct Health Canada to swiftly implement and publish regulations restricting the marketing of unhealthy food and beverages to children under age 13 using criteria already developed by Health Canada.

Black entrepreneurs in Canada continue to face well-documented barriers to accessing capital, networks and business support;

Since 2021, the Black Entrepreneurship Program has supported more than 24,000 Black entrepreneurs, and its Loan Fund has approved 801 loans worth more than $70.6 million. Yet it has not been made permanent dispite promises made in campaigns;

The Program's Ecosystem Fund enables trusted Black-led, community-based organizations to deliver mentorship, training, financial coaching and advisory services across the country;

The Program relies on time-limited funding cycles, most recently $189 million for 2025 to 2030, and gaps between cycles disrupt services, cost organizations skilled staff and stall entrepreneurs' progress; and

Stable investment in Black-owned businesses creates jobs, expands the tax base and strengthens Canada's economic resilience.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato1. Make the Black Entrepreneurship Program a permanent program with ongoing, stable funding; 2. Maintain all three pillars of the Program, the Ecosystem Fund, the Loan Fund and the Knowledge Hub, at funding levels that reflect demand; 3. Provide Black-led delivery organizations with predictable multi-year funding agreements and timely decisions to prevent gaps in service; 4. Report publicly on the Program's outcomes to measure its long-term impact on Black entrepreneurship in Canada; and 5. Support the Black Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Coalition in establishing a Portfolio Management Office to coordinate delivery among Black-led business organizations.

Southern Resident killer whales are an endangered species whose recovery is important to all Canadians;

The current Gulf Islands recreational salmon fishing closure remains in effect from June 15 to November 30, regardless of whether Southern Resident killer whales are present in the area;

Southern Resident killer whales are highly mobile and migrate as far south as California and as far north as Southeast Alaska;

A targeted, real-time, science-informed management approach can protect Southern Resident killer whales while reducing unnecessary impacts on recreational anglers, Indigenous communities, coastal communities, tourism operators, guides, and small businesses; and

Growing pinniped populations continue to place significant predation pressure on Chinook and Coho salmon and should be addressed as part of a comprehensive salmon recovery strategy.

We, the undersigned,residents of Canada, call upon theMinister of Fisheriesto:1. Replace fixed seasonal recreational fishing closures with a real-time, science-informed management approach that uses the best available monitoring and tracking technology to determine when Southern Resident killer whales are present; 2. Implement fishing closures only when Southern Resident killer whales are confirmed to be within a defined management area and reopen those areas promptly once the whales have departed; and 3. Develop and implement science-based pinniped management, in collaboration with Indigenous Peoples, scientists, recreational and commercial fishing sectors, and other stakeholders, for the long-term recovery of Southern Resident killer whales, and the sustainability of British Columbia’s public fishery.

Canada’s critical minerals are strategic national assets essential to Canada’s economic prosperity, national security, clean energy transition, and defence industries;

Canada’s mineral exploration and mining sector is increasingly attracting foreign investment and international political interest;

Canadians have heard repeated public statements from prominent U.S. political figures regarding Canada’s strategic resources and critical minerals;

Public confidence in Canada’s resource sector depends on transparency, accountability, and safeguards against inappropriate foreign influence;

Recent appointments of prominent foreign political, military, intelligence, and diplomatic figures to advisory roles within Canadian critical-mineral companies have raised public questions about governance, conflicts of interest, and the protection of Canada’s national interests; and

Canadians have the right to understand how strategic resource projects are governed and whether existing laws adequately protect Canada’s sovereignty and national security.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato review laws governing foreign influence, national security, and transparency in the critical minerals sector within 90 days. 1. Assess whether stronger disclosure requirements are needed when companies appoint former foreign government officials or advisors, and provide recommendations; 2. Evaluate whether current national security review processes adequately address geopolitical risks; 3. Determine whether additional safeguards are needed to protect Canada’s strategic resources from undue foreign influence while supporting legitimate investment; 4. Publish an implementation plan to improve transparency within 90 days; and Canada’s critical minerals are strategic national assets. Canadians deserve confidence that these resources are managed transparently, securely, and in the national interest to protect Canada’s sovereignty and long-term prosperity.

Human trafficking, sexual violence, and domestic violence, can involve financial exploitation, including identity theft, coerced debt, fraudulent use of government benefits, tax liabilities, credit damage, and financial transactions undertaken without the survivor's meaningful knowledge or consent;

Survivors may continue to experience the financial consequences of their exploitation years after leaving trafficking;

Existing government processes may not adequately account for financial liabilities incurred as a direct consequence of human trafficking;

Survivors should have accessible, trauma and survivor-informed mechanisms to seek review and relief from financial liabilities arising from their exploitation; and

The lived experience of survivors should inform the development of government policies and processes addressing financial exploitation associated with human trafficking, sexual violence, and domestic violence.

We, the undersigned,citizens and residents of Canada, call upon theGovernment of Canadato: 1. Develop a federal framework to identify, review, and provide appropriate relief from federal debts, tax liabilities, benefit overpayments, and other financial obligations incurred as a direct result of human trafficking, sexual violence, domestic violence, or exploitation; 2. Review existing federal legislation, policies, and CRA procedures to identify barriers preventing survivors from obtaining such relief; 3. Establish clear, trauma and survivor-informed processes for assessing these cases without unreasonable delay, and unnecessarily requiring survivors to repeatedly disclose or prove their lived experience; and 4. Establish a survivor-informed advisory board on financial exploitation, including people with lived experience, to advise the federal government on policy, legislative reform, and implementation.
