House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) said Friday that he is “very concerned” Canada’s expanding censorship and surveillance laws could erode the free-speech and privacy rights of Americans.
Jordan made the comments in a sit-down with Elie Cantin-Nantel of EMCN Media, an independent Canadian digital media venture. The interview came weeks after he and House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Brian Mast (R-FL) sent a letter to Canada’s public safety minister raising the same concerns.
The Ohio Republican said Canada’s Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, would reach beyond Canadian borders because Americans routinely communicate with and travel to the country.
“Are Americans in jeopardy of their privacy, their communications, their Fourth Amendment liberties that we have under our Constitution?” Jordan said. “We’re seeing this infringement on American liberties and, frankly, American companies being required to do things.”
In their May letter to Minister Gary Anandasangaree, Jordan and Mast wrote that the bill would “drastically expand Canada’s surveillance and data access powers in ways that create significant cross-border risks to the security and data privacy of Americans.”
The Judiciary chairman also pointed to Canada’s Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, which removed a religious exemption from the country’s hate-speech law. Jordan noted that a Canadian minister had described passages of Romans as hateful.
“Quoting scripture is now somehow a crime,” Jordan said. “This is always where it leads.”

Oh, crap. I recently posted online that Canada’s prime minister Mark Carney was a butch female who liked to dress as a male. And she liked to snort coke while kicking helpless kittens.
I guess I’m in trouble now.
Note to self: Do not cross into Canada any time soon.
I have lived in Maine for 35 years and I’ve never been to Canada, even though it’s nearby. I have no desire to do so.
What a weak puss. Legislate in a manner that protects our rights.
A hard censorship regime is built and ready for the next Democratoc Administration to shut down all dissent.

None of the bad actors have gone away. They’re holed up at Stanford and elsewhere in academe, and I’m sure the whole infrastructure is built out and ready to flip the switch at DHS and CIA.

If Jordan wants to DO something rather than just talk, move legislation to exit from Five Eyes, which is the USA exchanging info with tyrannical censors UK, Canada , Australia, New Zealand.
It might wake up some people here in Canaduh. (but more likely the Ottawa-Regime censorship just boosts Alberta Separation).
Yep. The first thing they'll do is to force Elon Musk to sell X.
Then they'll go after smaller players like FR.
Remember they were able to shut down Parler at the beginning of the Biden Administration.
“ Then they’ll go after smaller players like FR.”
Perhaps. FR is not what it once was.
