Imprisonment for What You Say or Write. CANADA: Goodbye Free Speech!
There's nothing that gets you life in prison in Canada, not even murder. But hate speech now does. Truckers got the first taste, trucks confiscated, bank accounts seized and imprisonment. Step Two...
Canada used to take pride in our freedom. That was until Justin Trudeau came along!
March 2024.
The Online Harms Act, introduced by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government on Monday, would make tech companies responsible for tackling seven categories of harmful content and increase criminal penalties for spreading hate online.
It reads straight, but you have to read the full bill for the details. Its the between the lines that provides horrific latitude for the police and the government to deal with people that have their own views on politics and people. Imagine some text that disagrees with government policy and crosses the line ever so slightly with words that are judged or misjudged to be hate speech. Arrest is now a given, with possible fines and even imprisonment. Makes you think of Russia or China does it not? We now live in a STATE where we must bow to conformity or face arrest. Jordan Petersen will have to forego his retraining from the University, it now becomes much worse, so I see him most likely living in Iceland or Chili. Whitney Webb is already there.
Under the legislation, Canadians would be able to request the removal of content within 24 hours, subject to a review process, and file complaints against people spreading hateful speech at a human rights tribunal.
The seven categories of harm defined in the bill are intimate content communicated without consent; content that foments hatred; content that incites violent extremism or terrorism; content that incites violence; content used to bully a child; and content that induces a child to harm themselves.
The legislation would establish a new digital safety commission to enforce the standards, which also include requiring platforms to introduce features to protect children such as parental controls and safe search settings.
Trudeau said the legislation would hold tech companies accountable for harmful content they host and make online spaces safer.
“For too long, web giants have failed to keep kids safe online,” he said. “Far too often, this has had devastating consequences.”
Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre, who has accused Trudeau of being “woke” and “authoritarian”, said last week that the government’s plans would infringe on Canadians’ freedom of expression.
“What does Justin Trudeau mean when he says… the word hate speech?” Poilievre said in remarks aired by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. “He means speech he hates.”
