ELI5: What is this new Canadian Anti-Terror bill and why are people protesting it?
gpt
It's basically our version of the Patriot Act, meant to expand police and intelligence services' surveillance powers.  People don't like it because it means the police will need less evidence to detain or charge people and the intelligence services will be able to do more surveiling of Canadians.  People also don't like it because it doesn't really provide for any oversight, accountability or transparency with these activities.  People are also pretty pissed that neither of the other two big parties (Conservatives are the party in power and are right wing, and the Liberals and NDP are the left wing parties in the opposition government) aren't meaningfully opposing it.
