"After more than 25 years of Canadian governments pursuing a hands-off approach to the online world, the government of Justin Trudeau is now pushing Bill C-10, a law that would see Canadians subjected to the most regulated internet in the free world.

Although pitched as a way to expand Canadian content provisions to the online sphere, the powers of Bill C-10 have expanded considerably in committee, including a provision introduced last week that could conceivably allow the federal government to order the deletion of any Facebook, YouTube, Instagram or Twitter upload made by a Canadian. In comments this week, NDP leader Jagmeet Singh indicated his party was open to providing the votes needed to pass C-10, seeing the bill as a means to combat online hate."

Canada has been making some really horrible personal Liberty choices lately and I'm not sure that they can stop under the current administration.

Unfortunately that is huge shame

Of course they are censoring; you can't win a real debate when you are lying and the other side is telling the truth.

Yup, their censorship will continue. But we are going to do something about it, keep an eye out for an upcoming post in less than 2 months. :)

The Trudeaus, pére et fils, were always Big Government Liberals. Essentially Liberal fascists who believe the State should decide most things for the rest of us rubes who can't think for ourselves. The utter gall! This bill continues Justin's love affair with Communist China, implementing the surveillance/control state coupled with the medical tyranny of "vaccines" and Green Passports. I'm no longer in Canada but still a Canadian and it's shocking how quickly all our rights were and continue to be simply erased over a stupid bug with a 99.5% overall survival rate.
