The bill, if passed, would allow the government to fine its own citizens for content that violates their definition of hate speech.

Canadians have a great opportunity to tell Fidel Jr and the retilian android of Effbook to go to hell.

He wasn’t elected, he was bribed in by the east. The west voted against him, but elections don’t matter.

As for the Bill of Rights, we have the same thing the US started with. Most people don’t know that. The 1982 charter was an attempted overwrite.

The old NSA and Deep State plan was to launch social media and monitor it—use it to catch the deplorables being deplorable.

Now they are moving to the censorship phase...
