Hacker group Anonymous is demanding Canada’s Public Safety Minister Vic Toews put an end to proposed Internet-surveillance legislation, Bill C-30, and resign, or they say they will release information during “Operation White North.”

In a video uploaded Thursday, the group speaks out against Bill C-30, which critics say would give police too much snooping power and violate Canadians’ privacy.

If passed, the bill would allow authorities to demand Internet-service providers to hand over subscriber information such as name, email address and Internet Protocol (IP) address without a warrant.

The video features an image of a masked man and a computerized voice-over that talks about the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act.

“All this legislation does is give your corrupted government more power to control its citizens,” the voice said.

“We know all about you, Mr. Toews, and during Operation White North we will release what we have unless you scrap this bill.”

The original video has since been removed from YouTube, but another clip (embedded below) surfaced on Saturday to renew the threat.

Another individual that appears to be unaffiliated with Anonymous already published alleged details of the minister’s divorce on a now-closed Twitter account (@Vikileaks30).

Toews called for an investigation into the matter after the Ottawa Citizen reported that the posts were coming from an IP address linked to the House of Commons.

The account appeared to be voluntarily shut down on Friday, however.

Following the Twitter posts, the Winnipeg Free Press obtained an open letter Toews wrote to his constituents which said he has been the victim of “extensive personal” attacks by his political opponents.

Toews said Bill C-30 will bypass the second reading and head to committee, where potential amendments to the piece of legislation could be made.
