[2026-06-25 22:11] Show HN: A privacy-first tool to email your MP about Canada's surveillance bill
Bill C-22 (the "Lawful Access Act") just passed Canada's House of Commons and is headed to the Senate. It mandates metadata retention and lets the government compel companies to weaken encryption.
stopc22.ca makes pushing back take less than 60 seconds: enter a postal code, it'll find your MP via Open North's Represent API, and hands you a pre-written email, a phone script, and the official petition link (if your Canadian and care about your privacy, SIGN THIS at the least).
A few decisions HN might care about:
- No accounts, no user database, no analytics scripts. The email is composed and sent via a mailto: link from the user's own client — their name and message never touch my server. Nothing to leak. - Laravel + Livewire + Tailwind on Coolify (FrankenPHP). Only state is a 24h cache of postal → MP lookups so I'm not hammering a nonprofit's API.
It's deliberately the opposite of the bill it opposes. Feedback on the approach welcome, especially the mailto deliverability tradeoffs and the privacy model. This site is leveraged

Im excited to share an early Beta of Glasshouse.
Its a News application which aim to give users an actual personalised and informative feed with no tracking whatsoever.
Currently in Beta version, there is Main news and Spotlight. While Main news may or may not be interesting, I aim to make it better for Tech Founders, Students, Designers and any other creative people that need information without being buried into negative news.
Some Core and differentiating features are still in development but till then, I need feedback on how it looks to use it.
Im open to feedback and criticism on [email protected]
