Trudeau Attacks Independent Media for ‘Undermining Mainstream Media’
Daily Fetched ^ | February 22, 2024

Posted on 02/23/2024 5:50:06 AM PST by Red Badger

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau went all in on attacking independent media platforms, calling them “conspiracy theorists” who undermine the mainstream media.

Trudeau announced his long-promised legislation to protect Canadians against the so-called online harm, which is due next week.

During a news conference in Edmonton on Wednesday, Trudeau said the “harms bill” would be “focused on protecting children.”

“Kids are vulnerable online to hatred, to violence, to being bullied, to seeing and being affected by terrible things online,” said Trudeau.

“We need to do a better job as a society of protecting our kids online the way we protect them in schoolyards, in our communities, in our homes across the country.”

Pierre Poilievre: “What does Justin Trudeau mean when he says the word 'hate speech'? He means speech he hates.”

The Montreal Gazette reported:

The upcoming legislation is now expected to pave the way for a new ombudsperson to field public concerns about online content, as well as a new regulatory role that would oversee the conduct of internet platforms.

The new positions would be established as a part of the forthcoming bill, which the government had hoped to unveil by April, said one senior official with knowledge of the plan.

“It’s very nearly ready to go,” said the source, who has seen a draft of the legislation. The source spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss details that have yet to be made public.

The source said the bill proposes “two very narrow instances of a takedown” of online material: images of child sexual abuse and the non-consensual sharing of images.

Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre blasted the forthcoming ‘online harms legislation,’ a bill, saying he won’t accept Trudeau’s ‘woke authoritarian agenda.’

He added that his government shouldn’t be deciding what constitutes ‘hate.’

Trudeau described the need for speech censorship, telling reporters, “There is a deliberate undermining of the mainstream media” by “conspiracy theorists.”

However, Trudeau is no stranger to conspiracy theories.

Last November, Trudeau was accused of pushing Hamas “propaganda” over reports Israel is killing women, children, and babies.

As The Daily Fetched reported:

Trudeau called on Israel to “exercise maximum restraint” during a news conference on Tuesday.

The Canadian PM warned Netanyahu that the “world is watching” as the country fights against Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

“We’re hearing the testimonies of doctors, family members, survivors, kids who have lost their parents,” Trudeau said.

“The world is witnessing this killing of women, of children, of babies. This has to stop.”

However, Trudeau fell short of making the moral and legal distinction between Hamas attacks on Israeli civilians and Palestinian deaths that occurred as a result of Israel’s response, the Times of Israel reported.

Much of what they did on October 7th violates the Koran.

Unfortunately for many females, the Koran allows for the ravishing of captive females.

However, I’m pretty sure Haley would not be ravished by the Gazan Muslims she would import to the USA.

Vote carefully American ‘infidel’ females!

WIKI

Samizdat (Russian: самиздат, lit. ‘self-publishing’) was a form of dissident activity across the Eastern Bloc in which individuals reproduced censored and underground makeshift publications, often by hand, and passed the documents from reader to reader. The practice of manual reproduction was widespread, because typewriters and printing devices required official registration and permission to access. This was a grassroots practice used to evade official Soviet censorship.

Etymologically, the word samizdat derives from sam (сам, “self, by oneself”) and izdat (издат, an abbreviation of издательство, izdatel’stvo, “publishing house”), and thus means “self-published”.

Trudeau needs to censor the truth about himself n order to make a chance for him to be re-elected. Ever since his abuse of the Emergency War Measures act against the Freedom Convoy, refusing to talk to them, a whole political movement he abused to define them as terrorists with the help of his state funded media....

The Secret is OUT.

Justin Trudeau is Canada's VILLAGE IDIOT...UNELECTABLE UTOPIAN LIBERAL FASCIST.

CANADIANS NOW KNOW

AND IT WILL NOT MATTER WHAT HE DOES TO CENSOR CRITICISM.IT MAKES CANADA DOUBLE DOWN AGAINST HIM AND HIS IDIOT PARTY.

Drive otside any city in Canada and you will see thousands of "Truck Frudeau" flags fluttering pleasantly in the awakening Canadian breeze.

Canadians hate the baftard.

Come the worst it is possible to distribute sheets of information folded into little packets via stores like Home Depot and Lowe’s at say two or three packets per store visit.

A folded dollar might be placed inside some packets to help ensure the packets get taken home and read.

Wash your fingers before printing, folding and distributing.

Wear gloves when taping so as to not leave fingerprints.

On foggy days, the cellphone could be left at home and the packages tossed on front lawns while running.

>>Trudeau said the “harms bill” would be “focused on protecting children.”<<

So says Trudeau. Next question: Who is going to protect Canadians from Trudeau?

The Revolution may well start in Western Canada and spread south to the States. Time to dust off the Bonnie Blue flag once again. Watch as the powers that be steal the election of 2024 and see their guy Biden (or another reader in chief) elected in an overwhelming victory—of 800,000,000 votes. Four terms of Obama.
