**The Great Firewall of Canada — Fireside Panel** **Four bills. One system of control. A wave of new federal legislation is quietly reshaping what Canadians can say, do, and spend online — and most people haven't connected the dots.** **Join Bitcoin Montréal for a fireside chat unpacking how these bills work together as one machine:** * **Bill C-9 — criminalizing speech, and even emotion, online** * **Bill C-22 — mass metadata surveillance, with "metadata" left conveniently undefined** * **Bill C-34 — a digital ID built through social-media bans and vague age-verification rules, plus a new Digital Safety Commission to regulate the Canadian internet** * **Bill C-8 — the power to cut anyone deemed a "threat" off the network entirely** **We'll dig into what's actually written in these bills, what's been left undefined, and why that matters for your privacy and free expression.** **The panel:** * **Nico Lagan — sales engineer turned broadcaster, host of the Political Orphans** * **Toufic Adlouni — lawyer focused on emerging tech and digital assets** * **Moderated by Margie Ramos — host of the Original & Unconventional podcast** **When: Wednesday, September 16 · 6:00–9:00 PM** **Where: Le Bon Vieux Temps, 2051B St-Denis, Montréal, QC** **Format: Panel · Cocktails · Networking** **Sponsored by Bull Bitcoin and Éclair BTC.** **————————————————————————** **Le Grand Pare-feu du Canada — Panel discussion au coin du feu** **Quatre projets de loi.
