    I went to sign it and the sign button takes me to an empty page. Anyone else seeing that? (seems to be every petition that’s open too :/)

      Hi Lamda,

      Thank you for your interest. Not sure, but access to this petition may be georestricted to Canada. Meaning if you are using a proxy, VPN, or are outside of the country you may lack access.

      If you are in Canada, then it might be an error with the link/site. You can try navigating to https://www.ourcommons.ca/en (link to House of Commons of Canada website) -> Petitions -> Search -> Petitions open for signature and search “e-6728”. To sign the petition tap/left-click “e-6728”-> tap/click “Sign the petition” -> Enter details -> tap/click “SIGN” -> view email for confirmation link -> navigate to the confirmation page.

      Another thing that may help is signing the petition in incognito mode in case of caching issues.

      Note the House of Commons is a government site and petitions there are free to sign.
