Trudeau's internet censorship bill passes Canadian senate
PM ^ | Feb 4, 2023 | Olivia Rondeau

The bill passed with 43 "yeas" and only 15 "nays."..

The Canadian Senate on Thursday voted to pass online censorship Bill C-11, sending the controversial piece of legislation back to the House of Commons and one step closer to becoming law.

...

The text of the bill describes the plan by Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party to increase the government's ability to censor controversial and unpopular speech on the internet, stating that the legislation would "specify that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission… must regulate and supervise the Canadian broadcasting system."

...

the OSA will empower the CRTC to assume jurisdiction via regulation over any 'program' (audio or audiovisual online content) that is 'monetizable' because it 'directly or indirectly generates revenues.'"

According to the freedom activist, the Liberal's bill would give the CRTC power to regulate any online streaming service they wanted, including that of private citizens.

"In the long run, the CRTC could end up regulating much of the content posted on major social media, even where the content is generated or uploaded by religious, political, and charitable non-profits," Carpay explained.

Critics of the censorship bill have likened it to the policies of authoritarian states like Nazi Germany or the Soviet Union.

"Wake up Canada, Trudeau's Senate passed Bill C-11 today…aka…internet censorship…which is anything that opposes their 'narrative.' Stalin and Hitler did the same," Canadian social media commentator Liz Churchill wrote.

...

Former NHL player and Olympic gold medalist Theo Fleury also chimed in, writing, "The Canadian conversion to communism took another huge step with Bill C-11 getting passed today."

Tyrants fear free speech and a free society——that’s how you can tell they’re tyrants.

Liberals hate the most important aspect of diversity. Diversity of thought, opinion, values.

In 1992, the USMC was correct!

If I understand the new ammendment to the Criminal Code of Canaduh, I have just committed a crime by posting this.

"Oh, Canaduh! Glorious and free!" NOT!

It all starts with “hate speech” laws and laws criminalizing hurting the feelings of certain people. Step by step the totalitarians creep up on right in plain sight.

“By controlling the language, Big Brother controls the way that the people think. With a limited vocabulary, the people are limited in how much they can think, as well as, what they think about.”

The Left can hate the Right in Canada but I know they will get censored in the end too.

Justin Trudeau is in bed with Global Business and Leftist Canadians who don’t support it will be shut down as well.
