The Trudeau Bill C-11 is an authoritarian law that will tell Canadians what they can watch on the Internet. It regulates user content and hides content it doesn’t like on YouTube, Rumble, and other platforms. It forces streaming services to serve up content the government likes and shadow-ban services it doesn’t like. Every service becomes the CBC. These rules will be applied to Facebook too.
The unelectable and unaccountable would have unprecedented power.
It’s the last chance to stop it, and continue free speech on the Internet. If Canada loses free speech, it will embolden the Left currently trampling over US constitutional rights, beginning with the 1st and 2nd Amendments.
The law was presented as protecting content creators, but like a Mussolini, Trudeau is actually silencing speech.
Winnepeg Free Press warns “it’s clear PM Trudeau doesn’t care about Canadian content creators. It invades Canadians’ privacy and lessens ability to hold the government accountable by influencing what they can see or say online.

Umm. I think the left is beyond where he thinks they are in this country.
Trudeau has plenty of large pictures of himself for every building so he can watch everyone ,LOL
Trudeau is the only one in Canada that can have Free Speech ?
also Communist Chrystia Freeland is playing a big part in this like when they took people’s bank accounts
What?
Well I’m in Canada and the proposed bill is easy to write but rather difficult to enforce. We should have fairly similar internet conditions after this goes through if it does, then an election that could reverse it. So to say this is the end of free speech in Canada is perhaps a bit over the top. Not to diminish the importance of this, but things are a bit more complex on the internet than the creators of the legislation may imagine. For example, any encrypted account should be able to work around a lot of the restrictions.
There is no such as free speech in Canada. There is supposedly free speech in the Canadian bill of rights, but there are the weasel “subject to” Parliamentary restrictions.
Anyway one can free speech rights but if the political culture does not believe in in it then it is a worthless piece of paper.
“One gets what one supports” applies here. Voters tend to get what they ask for. Even when they don’t really understand what they are voting for. “VOTE stupid, GET stupid”.
He’s power-mad. (Like all dictators.)
Far and feathers come to mind and if that doesn’t work then get a rope
Chrystia Freeland’s grandpa was an actual Nazi. A Uke who published a nazi propaganda rag on a press confiscated from dead Jews. As the Soviet Army advanced, he fell back with the Germans retreating.
He said if Canada loses free speech, then it will embolden the left to trample on our 1st and 2nd amendments here. My point is, it is already happening here. I don’t think the author knows what’s going on in this country concerning the 1st and 2nd amendments. I’m not sure Canadian politics influences our politics all that much.
Pete, why don’t you all just cut to the chase and get rid of this Trudeau mutt?
Well the only legal means at this time would be an election replacing his party, no election has been called and none is required to be called for several years however we are in a minority parliament meaning that a non-confidence motion is more likely to terminate the government and force them into calling an election. At the moment the government’s minority support party (NDP) is not looking anxious or eager to provoke an election. Bill C-11 is likely to stir up considerable anger in the country and could weaken the coalition a bit, however New Democrats generally speaking are not aroused on the issue.
If you meant by some other means, I am not inclined to go down that road personally, others might be.
