A set of three wooden spoons with a burned-in design, laid on a cork disc. The backs of the spoons depict a starling on the first, a tree sapling greeting the sun, on the second, a half of a pear showing the seeds inside, and the last shows a twisting marigold flower in the rain.

E-petition
Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario

Original language of petition: English
Petition details
Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:

    Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content;
    In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites;
    As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that β€œadult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as β€œadult only”;
    As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has β€œdeindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and
    This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo.

We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to
1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services;
2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and
3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.

This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!

Act Now: Stop Ken Sim's Cuts to Public Services! 

Participate in the 2026 Vancouver Budget Survey.

Act Now: Stop Ken Sim's Cuts to Public Services! Participate in the 2026 Vancouver Budget Survey.

COPE's Top Priorities
2026 budget survey

#1) Stop ABC's Handout to the Wealthy: Mayor Ken Sim is seeking a property tax increase as low as 0% for 2026. This handout to the rich will mean cuts to services, austerity, increased user fees, and neglected infrastructure. 

#2) Protect Public Services, Staff & Infrastructure: Sim's tax gimmick will mean cuts to public services, infrastructure, and the unionized staff that make the city work for people. 

#3) Boost Library Funding & Increase Hours: 

Under ABC, library hours are already being cut. A previous COPE motion to support libraries is going to be on the chopping block if there are new cuts. Vancouver must library users and library workers.

"Council Priorities" 

The survey pushes you to pick only 3 priorities, inappropriately pitting reconciliation, climate, housing and public services against each other. We've flagged priorities that relate to cuts.

"Financial Pressures" 

Staff originally said 6-7% was needs for 2026, but the survey's maximum is 5%, likely meaning at least some cuts. It would be ideal if a significant contingent of survey respondents advocated for 6-7% in the 'other' box.

The City’s 2026 Budget process is now open.

We're fighting against Ken Sim and ABC's austerity and threats to public services.

With your help, we can stop these cuts.

A gritty sketch of an anthropomorphic tiger swinging a baseball bat and looking over her arm at the viewer. Several black tattoos blend in with their stripes and she wears short ragged denim shorts and a tied up button down.

Light Paloma redesign. Might finish them later, but I wasn’t a fan of her sleek look anymore

A grainy monochrome image resembling a vintage video game screen showing a large monster hunched in a dark stony passageway. It has a shaggy lions mane covering its face except for a huge toothy maw. It’s back legs are a deer’s and it has a spiny scorpionlike tail and leathery wings folded over it’s back. A character dialogue box below reads β€œManticore: I won’t turn into a princess if you kiss me, you’ll just lose your tongue…”

Oh wow! Since this girl got so much attention, here’s my notes on her lore so far

- adopted and raised by the human family who slayed her biological pa who kept eating people
- understandably has complicated feelings about it
- even more so when she finds out her stepparents were ~close~ with him…
