Canadians got their first rude awakening about the limits to their constitutional freedoms during the Freedom Convoy protests in February of 2022, when, in a crackdown on truckers objecting to draconian Covid restrictions, the Trudeau government invoked the Emergencies Act, allowing authorities to jail organizers and seize their bank accounts.
Sweeping “online safety” legislation in Canada proposed Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s government threatening penalties up to life imprisonment for speech crimes, and real sentences for thought crimes, have civil rights groups sounding the alarm.
The legislation, known as the Online Harms Act (Bill C-63), was tabled by Justice Minister Arif Virani in February, and proposes amending Canada’s Criminal Code to “promote the online safety of persons in Canada, reduce harms caused to persons in Canada as a result of harmful content online and ensure that the operators of social media services…are transparent and accountable with respect to their duties.”
What’s Wrong With the Bill?
At first glance, some of the legislation’s content seems reasonable, with Virani leaning into the bill’s benevolent goal of “protecting” children “from online sexual exploitation, hate, and cyberbullying.” The draft law would require the mandatory reporting of online child pornography, the deletion of content advocating self-harm, and punishments for persons accused of “advocating genocide” or “hate crimes” based on “race, national or ethnic origin, language, color, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation or gender identity or expression.”
Upon deeper inspection, however, the problems with the legislation quickly start to become evident, with penalties for speech crimes ranging from two, five, or ten years in jail or even “imprisonment for life,” and the extremely broad and liberal definition of “hate crimes” (including crimes a judge deems someone “will commit” at some point the future) sparking concerns that the law will be used to crack.......

Daddy did it... in Cuba.
Because ... Freedom!
- End US Mil cooperation/sales to Canada
- Cut off all US LE agency interaction with Canadian police agencies
- Establish firebases all along Canadian-US “border”
- Equip said firebases with artillery and surface to surface missiles
- Designate Ottawa as a Cuban surrogate regime and treat accordingly
It's who they are. It's what they do.
Sounds like slowly but surely we are getting there with ignorant people continuing to electing shady, crooked, left leaning politicians. And then they wonder what happened? And with Trudeau, the apple did not fall far from the tree, having an illustrious dad like Fidel.
however, the ones that live way up in the Yukon and Northwest territories will continue on with their lives as usual as they have for countless years.
unless they speak ‘out of line’ online- they will be tracked down by the dictator’s minions
Justin is mentally ill he inherited it from his mother and he knows he’ll get the boot next election so his setting up one party rule , wait Canada has one party rule now
A chip off the old block!
well they’ll need gas powered vehicles just to go up there and get them. thats lots of carbon footprinting.
Those who do actually live in the middle of nowhere like the Yukon, will be the ones who survive the muslim and leftist invasion/destruction that is being wrought upon the world right now.
I know for sure that ghetto hoods just ain’t going to drive up to Whitehorse once they destroy their own cities
The Canadian frog is almost cooked.
islam is a totalitarian death cult founded by a child rapist.
Canada is lost. They have their sights set on the USA next.
Electing Trump will prevent that. Electing biden will make it happen sooner.
[[well they’ll need gas powered vehicles just to go up there and get them.]]
LOL good point- i can picture the authorities there standign around in their little office looking puzzled and confused, not knowing how to drive all the way out there because of their co2 footprint lol
“Minister Virani is an Ismaili Muslim who came to Canada in 1972 as a Ugandan Asian refugee.”
Well surprise surprise. Another Muslim invader criminalizing any and all opposition to the Islamic invasion of the “west.”
Seventy percent of the population approved of how the trucker protests were handled.
Institutional capture and propaganda works. I’ve seen it here in my lifetime.
The other thing that enables all this is “conservative” politician betrayal.
The Conservatives will “oppose” this Online Harms Act. But when they are elected next year, they won’t repeal it.
And it will be used against their own supporters while they are in power. Just as Ofcom was never repealed by the UK “Conservatives”, and it is used against people like Mark Steyn, while the UK Conservatives are in power.
