Canada’s descent into tyranny is almost complete
Story by David Collins • 23h •
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is threatening his most tyrannical attack on freedom yet through his government’s proposed Online Harms Act (currently Bill C-63). Brought to you by the same farcically-named “Liberal” party who froze the bank accounts of the truckers who protested vaccine-mandates, the OHA is the government’s overzealous attempt to promote online safety.
The proposed legislation supposedly achieves this by requiring operators of social media services to adequately mitigate the risk that their users will be exposed to harmful content through measures such as publishing standards of online conduct, providing blocking tools and ways to flag and label harmful content. The OHA would create a Digital Safety Commission to administer and enforce its rules along with a Digital Safety Office to support social media users and advocate for online safety. These agencies can investigate complaints, summon people to testify in hearings and to produce records. Costs of all this will be paid by unspecified charges on social media platforms, presumably contemplating Canada’s planned Digital Services Tax on big tech platforms.
Most controversially, the OHA’s provisions on posting hateful content would require amendments to Canada’s Criminal Code as well as its Human Rights Act. While the victims of online “hate” may be comforted by tough new penalties, the changes are radical, particularly a new hate crime offence which can lead to life imprisonment. Worryingly, the criminal provisions of the OHA would give judges the ability to put people under house arrest because they might commit a hate crime in the future. The potential criminal could also be made to wear an electronic tag if the Attorney General requests it.

Canada will eventually break up when the USA does.
Look for the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta (along with the Northwest/Yukon territories) to "join up" with the new "Heartland Republic" to the South...

Is posting "Disco sucks!" a hate crime? Surely, hating disco, or anything else for that matter, can't be permitted in the Great White North, eh.

From Hudson's Bay to the Bay of Campeche, from the Sierras to the Appalachians, call it America and let the rest find a new name..

Something tells me that Trudeau is a huge fan of disco.

Trudeau’s approval rating is in the low 30s, but he would still win re-election.
