Legislation making its way through the Canadian Parliament would allow citizens to be taken to court and penalized if they are suspected of simply intending to post “hate speech” online.
The proposed law encourages Canadians to report other Canadians to the authorities for intent to post hate speech online, and allows courts to punish Canadian citizens for things they haven’t done yet.
Under the proposed law, provincial courts may add penalties that they consider “desirable to secure the good conduct of the defendant,” including having the defendant wear an electronic monitoring device, confining them to their home or place of residence at set times, and prohibiting them from consuming alcohol.
If a Canadian citizen “fears on reasonable grounds that another person will commit” hate speech online, or “an offence motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other similar factor,” they may lay the information before a Canadian court.
The bill defines online hate speech as “a discriminatory practice to communicate or cause to be communicated hate speech by means of the Internet or other means of telecommunication in a context in which the hate speech is likely to foment detestation or vilification of an individual or group of individuals on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination.”

This is what letting faggots, socialists and cultural Marxist run amuck in society.
Let’s Go Trudo
Finish the sentence. :)
Targeting Christians.
Of course, muslims will get a pass.
This is what you get by …
“when idiots make law”
There is some serious fundamental idiocy in play, to even consider this.

The Canadian government has proposed legislation (Bill C-36) where people can be taken to court and penalized if they’re suspected of being ABOUT TO post something hateful online.
An individual would be able to report another PREEMPTIVELY for something they haven’t said yet.
Alarming aspects, in ascending order:
1) Fuzzy and circular definition of “hateful” speech (“involves detestation…stronger than dislike”)
2) Encouraging citizens to report on one another — creepy
3) The ability to punish people for something they haven’t actually done yet (!)
Just so. We see the temporal manifestation of a spiritual war.
Will they look at their own leftist hate?
As are so many laws these days.
This one is just more obvious than the others.
The gunmint can declare anything a crime and arrest you for it.
The world's getting crazier by the minute, but I didn't expect a sort of Spanish Inquisition.
Trudeau will be the first arrest ?
Justine Castreau and his henchwench Chrystia "Slaveland" Freeland will freeze your bank accounts before you're even brought to court on this charge.
Just to be safe.
Right out of the 1984 playbook.
It is ludicrous to go after someone based on what someone else thinks they might be about to do. That would require mind reading at the very least.
This can only be about targeting Christians.
