It also amends the Criminal Code to create a new standalone hate crime offence that would allow penalties up to life imprisonment to deter hateful conduct, as well as raise the maximum punishments for hate propaganda offences from five years to life imprisonment for advocating genocide.

Harmful content is defined in the legislation as content that incites violence, that foments hatred, that incites violent extremism or terrorism, is used to bully a child, that sexually victimizes a child, that induces a child to harm themselves, or intimate content communicated without consent.
The bill also creates a new Digital Safety Commission, which will be responsible for enforcing rules and holding online services accountable, as well as a separate Digital Safety Ombudsperson, which will support and advocate for users and make recommendations to social media services and the government.

Online services that do not abide by the rules could be subject to severe penalties as high as six per cent of global revenue or $10 million, whichever is greater.

An earlier version of the bill, C-36, was introduced in 2021, but died shortly afterward, when an election was called. The government was planning to legislate on five categories of online harms, such as content inciting violence, the non-consensual sharing of intimate images, child exploitation, hate speech and content promoting terrorism.
At the time, the bill was heavily criticized by privacy experts and civil liberties groups for giving social media platforms only 24 hours to remove any content deemed harmful, or face punishment, potentially infringing on freedom of expression by encouraging companies to take down acceptable materials.

I hate Canadians So sue me.
We have some great FREepers from Canada on FR. More spine and patriotism that too many Americans. No lawsuit - just wanted to give a shout out to valued FReepers from the Great White North.
Time to liberate Canada.
Why don’t they make taking bribes to not shoot down hostile drones punishable by life in prison?
So....less time for murder then engaging in hate speech?
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
Why would North Korea do this?
Canada is a country I guess I never have to visit, again.
The bill also creates a new Digital Safety Commission“
They should go all the way and call it the Ministry of Truth.
So, if you say you hate Oreos, they can put you in jail for life? That’s a little overkill, isn’t it?
Wow… just WOW! They seriously are trying to set up the machinery for totalitarian government and absolute suppression of all dissent.
THEY WHO CONTROL THE DEFINITION OF HATE CONTROL ALL SPEECH AND ALL BEHAVIOR.
I feel very sorry for our brothers and sisters up north. The same thing happening in Canada is happening in the EU and Britain.
What exactly is “hate” speech?
I thought we hadd that old freedom of speech thing :)
Yelling “fire” in a crowded venue can be dangerous.
Saying “I hate Blacks/Italians/Hisppanics/Men/Women/Dogs/Cats is an opinion...a lousy opinion for grouping an entire ethnicity or thype of animal :)
But still an opinion.
Any term the left invented is ALWAYS bad.
I hate Castreau, all leftists, all globalists and all neocons. Try and come get me, Justin Boy!
“THEY WHO CONTROL THE DEFINITION OF HATE CONTROL ALL SPEECH AND ALL BEHAVIOR.”
Absolutely. And you can bet it is coming here eventually. And I want to say this before hand. Those faithful and moral who decide to support it “for the kids” need to think about it twice. The communists consider all things religious as hate speech. Any words related to Christ and all symbols will be outlawed. Supporting this concept based on faith or so called morality will be the undoing of your very own faith. They will not carve out a special immunity for Christianity. It will be the very first to go. Where is the morality in destroying your own faith “for the kids”?
This is why Jordan Peterson is moving to the U.S. I think the term he used for Canada if they passed this was Totalitarian Hellhole.

TRUDEAU IS A FAGGOT

“that sexually victimizes a child, that induces a child to harm themselves”
So any pro-trans propaganda agent that causes a child to undergo sexual mutilation from the so-called medical community will be punished? Hey, I like it!
