Trudeau's C-63 Controls Freedom of Speech
Canada's far left extremist prime minister will make the left stronger than ever with C-63. Any political issue that is not supported by the government could find you with a heavy fine or worse.
Canada continues to decline under the Trudeau Liberal government. Our rights, as Canadians are slowly slipping away with this government. The Trudeau government has proposed a new law to regulate the internet, and it has major constitutional problems. Trudeau’s government is not Liberal at all, it is a dictatorship on the rise, reducing our freedoms on rights on all sorts of things like abolishing even hunting rifles, the fiasco with truckers where he brought in the Emergency Measures act and took away trucks from picketers, seized their bank accounts and now putting fines on speech and maybe imprisonment.
Canada's Bill C-63: Online Harms Act Targets Harmful Content on Social Media. On February 26, 2024, the federal government tabled Bill C-63 (Bill), which would enact the Online Harms Act (Act) and establish Canada's first federal online content moderation regime.
This radical prime minister has done more to harm Canadian Freedom than any other prime minister in Canada’s history.

The Online Harms Act would limit constitutionally-protected expression in the following ways:
The Bill would create a new process for individuals and groups to complain to the Canadian Human Rights Commission that online speech directed at them is discriminatory. The tribunal could order fines of up to $50,000, and awards of up to $20,000 paid to complainants, who in some cases would be anonymous. Findings would be based on a mere “balance of probabilities” standard rather than the criminal standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.
The subjectivity of defining “hate speech” will lead to punishments for protected speech. The mere threat of human rights complaints will chill large amounts of protected speech.
The Bill would increase the maximum sentence for “advocating genocide” from five years in prison to life in prison. That means words alone could lead to life imprisonment.
The Bill would allow judges to put prior restraints on people who they believe on reasonable grounds may commit speech crimes in the future. The accused would be forced to choose between imprisonment or a “recognizance to keep the peace” that may be accompanied by severe conditions such as giving a bodily sample, refraining from drugs and alcohol, giving up firearms and wearing an ankle monitor.
The Bill would require social media companies to “minimize the risk that users of the service will be exposed to harmful content” with the threat of massive fines if they don’t properly mitigate the risk. Social media companies will likely err on the side of caution and block large amounts of speech that is close to the legal line.
The Bill would require social media companies to provide a mechanism for users to flag content that they believe is “harmful content,” which is defined as including speech that “foments hatred.” This will inevitably lead to censorship of legally-protected speech.
The Bill would require social media companies to report on how they dealt with perfectly legal but otherwise “harmful content” that “the operator had reasonable grounds to believe posed a risk of significant psychological or physical harm.” This appears aimed at encouraging social media companies to censor speech that the government cannot outlaw.
CCF Executive Director Joanna Baron called the bill extremely concerning and took issue with placing these censorship provisions in the same bill as some otherwise laudable measures.
