Leah Gazan · 930 signatures
The petitioners state that Indian Residential Schools operated in Canada from 1831 to 1997, that over 150,000 First Nations, Inuit, and Red River Métis children were forced to attend, and that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission characterized the system as cultural genocide. They say the Residential Schools Missing Children Community Support Fund is due to sunset in 2026, that federal funding for Survivor healing and cultural supports is being reduced, and that TRC Calls on missing children (Calls 72–76) and healing (Calls 21–22) remain unfulfilled. The petitioners call on the Government of Canada to provide statutory funding for the Missing Children Community Support Fund and for Survivor supports, and to ensure these programs remain Indigenous-led and Survivor-centered consistent with UNDRIP and the TRC; the petition does not include a government response.

Petitioners say retired Warrant Officer Michel Beaulieu served in Afghanistan and was awarded the Medal of Military Valour, and they contend that the circumstances of his actions and injuries warrant a thorough reassessment. They ask the Government of Canada to request a formal and rigorous review of Beaulieu’s military decoration file as part of a broader national debate on reassessing certain Afghanistan-era honours; the petition contains no government response.

Alexis Deschênes · 10,398 signatures
Oceans North, MiningWatch Canada and Greenpeace Canada say deep seabeds are crucial to marine ecosystems and that the International Seabed Authority (ISA) is considering regulations they deem inadequate. They state that The Metals Company, a Canadian firm, holds ISA exploration contracts and has sought to mine under the U.S. DSHMRA, note that Canada announced support for a moratorium in 2023, and assert mining under DSHMRA would violate UNCLOS. The petition asks the Government of Canada to bar Canadian persons or companies from undertaking unilateral mining or claiming minerals in the Area and to urge ISA to adopt a legally binding moratorium on deep-sea mining.

Petitioners ask the Government of Canada to amend the Maritime Provinces Fishery Regulations and/or the Atlantic Fishery Regulations to permit recreational breath‑hold (freedive) spearfishing in the tidal waters of the Maritime Provinces for the same species as angling, subject to species‑specific seasons, size and catch limits, conservation closures, safety measures, and other measures deemed necessary by Fisheries and Oceans Canada. They say spearfishing is a selective, sustainable method that can minimize bycatch and litter, note that current federal rules already allow spears for some species (eel, smelt, tomcod) and that other jurisdictions regulate recreational spearfishing, and request consultations with recreational and commercial fishers, First Nations, conservation groups and other stakeholders when developing the regulatory framework. No government response is provided with the petition.

Todd Doherty · 40 signatures
The petitioners say the United States has unilaterally imposed 50% tariffs on $20 billion of Canadian goods after recent negotiations collapsed, and they allege Prime Minister Mark Carney stated Canada rejected the deal because last‑minute U.S. demands compromised sovereignty and threatened key industries. They say U.S. officials claim Canada walked away for political reasons and argue that full democratic transparency is needed to counter misinformation; the petition asks the House of Commons to publish the full text and last‑minute U.S. demands and to release a comprehensive economic impact briefing on the rejected terms.

Jenny Kwan · 20,884 signatures
Petitioners say Bill C-22 would authorize regulations requiring designated “core providers” to collect and retain metadata on all Canadians for up to one year and would allow the Minister of Public Safety to impose similar requirements on other electronic service providers. They argue the bill’s definitions are broad, could compel interception or technical measures that weaken encryption (which they say creates cybersecurity vulnerabilities, citing the 2024 Salt Typhoon attack on U.S. telecoms), and raises concerns under the Canadian Charter about suspicionless searches. The petition asks the House of Commons to withdraw or vote against Bill C-22, remove suspicionless bulk metadata retention from future lawful access laws, and explicitly prohibit any requirement to weaken encryption.

The petitioners ask the House of Commons to implement the 2011 UN resolution and introduce a moratorium on bottom trawling. They state that bottom trawling is a non‑selective method that, they say, harms deep‑sea habitats, removes non‑target species, can contribute to stock collapses and reduced productivity, and that Fisheries and Oceans Canada provides species‑level catch data but not ecosystem‑level information; they also call for harmonized international laws and updated practices to reflect modern science and consumer expectations.

Cheryl Gallant · 57 signatures
The petitioners, who identify as Canadian citizens, say property crimes and crimes against persons have risen and cite recent cases where victims were allegedly charged after defending themselves. They ask the Minister of Justice and the Attorney General to amend Criminal Code sections 34 and 35 to remove references to “reasonable” and to allow “any means necessary, including lethal force,” and to enshrine a Castle Doctrine protecting use of force in one’s home; the petition contains no government response.

Brad Vis · 35 signatures
The petition, submitted by residents and communities including Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Hope, Merritt and Princeton, asks the federal government to recognize the West Coast Corridor Resiliency Partnership (WCCRP) as a strategic partner and to commit consistent, long-term investment through the WCCRP for nationally significant infrastructure. Petitioners say the November 2021 atmospheric river events exposed vulnerabilities in Pacific Gateway transportation, energy, agricultural and trade corridors and request that the government prioritize predictable multi-year funding and work with the WCCRP, Indigenous communities, local governments and regional partners on resilience and disaster preparedness projects.

Petitioners ask the Government of Canada to establish national transparency standards and non‑partisan guidelines for taxpayer‑funded government advertising; require detailed public reporting on expenditures, contracts, objectives and outcomes; prohibit use of public funds for self‑promotional messaging; designate or create an independent review body; and require independent post‑campaign audits for large expenditures. The petitioners say there are currently no consistent national standards across jurisdictions and that public trust is undermined when governments run large promotional campaigns without independent oversight.

Gord Johns · 22,364 signatures
The petitioners ask the House of Commons to amend the Income Tax Act to create a refundable federal tax credit for nurses (registered nurses, licensed practical/registered practical nurses, registered psychiatric nurses, and nurse practitioners) modelled on the 2025 personal support worker tax credit. The petitioners state that nurses are essential, that Canada faces a persistent nursing shortage driven by recruitment and retention challenges, heavy workloads and cost-of-living pressures, and that the federal government can use tax policy to support essential workers; no government response is included in the petition.

Jeff Kibble · 303 signatures
The petitioners say that since 1998 Health Canada has required synthetic folic acid to be added to white flour, enriched pasta and cornmeal, leaving no reliable way to purchase those staples unfortified. They raise concerns about MTHFR gene variants, elevated unmetabolised folic acid (which they describe as an active area of research), and that high folate intake can mask vitamin B12 deficiency; they also note that many EU countries do not mandate fortification. The petition asks the government to amend the Food and Drug Regulations to make fortification voluntary and to require clear front‑of‑package labelling distinguishing fortified from unfortified products; no government response is included in the petition.

Heather McPherson · 27,898 signatures
Petitioners say proposed hyperscale AI data centres in Alberta, including the Wonder Valley and Synapse Olds projects, would consume large amounts of electricity and freshwater, rely on natural‑gas generation, and increase pressure on power grids and local resources. They say communities, municipalities and affected Indigenous nations have raised concerns about noise, air pollution, water use, inadequate consultation, risks to agriculture and ecosystems, and a public transfer of infrastructure costs and environmental risks. Petitioners call on the House of Commons to impose an immediate federal moratorium on approval, construction, expansion or operation of such centres in Alberta; to prohibit federal permits or support for fossil‑fuel‑powered or high‑water‑use facilities; to establish binding national environmental protections; and to require federal environmental assessments, public hearings and free, prior and informed consent from affected Indigenous nations and municipalities.

Petitioners say the Home Care Worker Immigration Pilots (Child Care and Home Support), launched March 31, 2025, were intended as a faster “one-step” pathway to permanent residence but that published processing times now exceed six years, which they describe as unreasonable and contrary to the program’s objectives. They report many applicants still lack acknowledgments of receipt 14 months after launch and allege denials of work-permit extensions or bridging open work permits (BOWPs) have caused loss of status, employment, financial hardship and homelessness; the petition asks the Minister to allow applicants to maintain status and continue working, create BOWP or similar eligibility for pilot applicants, and expedite AOR issuance and processing timelines — no government response is included in the petition.

Petitioners say the federal Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith favors the oil and gas lobby and undermines Canada’s climate policy. They allege the MOU was signed without the free, prior and informed consent of Indigenous peoples, breaches obligations under the Constitution Act, 1982 and UNDRIP, and will fast-track an environmentally harmful pipeline that threatens health and wellbeing. The petition asks the Government of Canada to stop fast-tracking fossil-fuel projects, protect those affected by climate change, and invest in a worker-, community- and Indigenous-led green energy transition; no government response is included in the petition text.

Melissa Lantsman · 3,035 signatures
Petitioners state that the United Kingdom proscribed Palestine Action under the Terrorism Act 2000 on July 5, 2025, and that the UK Court of Appeal upheld that designation on June 15, 2026. They say an active Canadian chapter called “Palestine Action Canada” claimed responsibility on July 12, 2026 for targeting Dishon Limited in Concord, Ontario, and publicly called for others to join disruptions. Petitioners call on the Government of Canada to immediately list Palestine Action and its Canadian chapter as terrorist entities under the Criminal Code; the petition notes petitioners’ view that Ottawa has not done so and the petition does not include a government response.

Petitioners ask the House of Commons to condemn Pakistan's transnational repression, formally raise related human‑rights abuses diplomatically, and make all future security or institutional cooperation with Pakistan conditional on immediately ending harassment of Canadian citizens' families.
