Petition Text

Petition to the House of Commons

Whereas:

• Statistics Canada marked a 245% increase in hate crimes across Canada between 2015 and 2025;

• Canadian security agencies have warned about the rise of domestic and internationally affiliated hate groups in Canada, with CBC revealing in March 2026 that over 30 of the 200+ global active clubs are based in Canada;

• According to CSIS’ Public Report 2025, nearly 1 in 10 CSIS terrorism investigations involve a suspect under 18, underscoring the rise of youth radicalization; and

• Over a dozen whistleblowers revealed to the BBC that TikTok and Meta allowed harmful content to proliferate following evidence that algorithmic outrage increased engagement.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to:

1. Commission an immediate public inquiry investigating the rise of hate and extremist groups in Canada and outlining recommendations for all levels of government;

2. Publicly declare that Canada has a hate crime crisis and send a relevant Public Safety Canada briefing to all municipal and provincial governments;

3. Strengthen the transparency and timeliness of the process pertaining to the listing of organizations meeting the legal threshold for designation as terrorist entities, while ensuring clear criteria, appropriate procedural safeguards, and meaningful judicial review;

4. Establish a national, live data-sharing platform for hate crime reporting while protecting privacy rights; and

5. Emulate internationally proven best practices to reduce hate on very large online platforms while safeguarding privacy, including mandating auditing of API data by independent researchers, creating non-algorithmic feeds, and labeling AI-generated content.
