Canada seeks Digital Safety Commission, imposing hefty fines for non-compliance.
Citizen Watch Report ^

Posted on 02/27/2024 3:49:15 AM PST by davikkm

In a bold move that is raising eyebrows and concerns, the Liberal government of Canada has unveiled its plan to combat what it deems “online hate.” At the center of this initiative is the proposed Online Harms Act, also known as Bill C-63, and it’s stirring up quite the controversy.

The bill, detailed in a technical briefing released to reporters, outlines hefty fines for online speech and stringent punishments, including the possibility of life imprisonment for hate crimes. The aim is clear: curbing the spread of harmful content, including materials that incite violence, promote terrorism, or fuel hatred.

GTRueau is a tyrant, using child safety as an excuse to limit political commentary against the Liberal Party and Trudeaus draconian socialism.He wants to diminish all provincial control over their constitutional authority.

Yes he does. The prize is Alberta’s oil, if he bring that under federal jurisdiction. Then he will screw Alberta out of the whole amount.

The people of Canada are sheeple to let that happen. Oh wait, isn’t that happening here ?

Dictatorship.

Disagreement becomes “hate” and earns you a prison sentence.

This is tyranny in which a Leftist government intimidates all opposition to its “official truth.”

The tyrants decide what is “true” and it can change at their whim. Prison awaits dissenters.

Unfortunately, the people in the golden triangle of Control everything. The rest of Canada, combined, does not have the numbers in most times to change this. The liberal party has learned that, as long as its policies do not hurt the golden triangle, they can do what they want and the golden triangle will vote for them.

The Golden triangle is the region inside Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal. Throw in Vancouver and it’s a lock-stock-barrel on power.

It’s similar to when the big cities all vote Democrat. You guys don’t stand a chance when that happens.

One persons’s criticism is another person’s opinion of hate apparently….

Got guns... semi auto rifles or pistols? If so, Canada’s village idiot is coming after YOU.

Provincial property right guarantees be damned.

Alberta needs to seperate from the socialist cess pool/morass that has become Canada.

Basically, that triangle is modern day Rome.

And so is Washington, D.C.

The aim is clear. It's big brother working to ruthlessly crush dissent from the DS narrative and agenda.

Who knows what “fuels hatred”. The very submission of this proposal “fuels hatred” for the Canadian Liberal party, is this what they mean?

Speaking truth to power has always been the tool by which the minority has made its opinion known when the majority becomes a tyranny. Free speech, which may be perceived as “hate speech” by those who do not want to hear it, is NOT enshrined in the founding documents of Canada, or in anything corresponding to the Bill of Rights of the US Constitution.

Therefore whatever ruling oligarchy gains control of the reins of government can virtually write the competing rival political parties out of “legal” representation. A one-party government is by definition a tyranny, which may or may not be benevolent. When push comes to shove, the benevolence disappears very quickly.

“Command and control” becomes the normal state of mankind.

I’m well aware of the need to separate, but Turdeau is flooding Alberta with Third Worlders who are just grateful to be out of their hellholes.

Demographic warfare and invasion is another reason to separate.Biden is playing the same gae...demographic warfare and bankrupting provncial government services.

Watch the crime go up as Turdeau takes away the guns people will need to defend themselves, their families and their property from invading criminals who have no services , homes or jobs.The Asian business community are already infused with extortion gangs. The cops cannot fix it.

Turdeau is a threat to Canada...he and his running dogs need to be gotten rid of....but most of Canada does not know ANYTHING of what is actually going on. Stupid GETS stupid.

The Freedom Convoy needs to expand and become a political party.It is not a terrorist organization as Turdeau says, it is a truly grass roots movement that is far from over.

And the powers at be do not care. Turdeau could send the UN into Alberta and kill every Albertan and declare the extinguishment of Alberta as a national holiday and the Golden Triangle Canadians would still vote liberal.

It’s who they are. They revel in the power they and they don’t care whom they hurt, because we lack the institutional power to leave.

This is Canada, when you remove all its pretenses.

“The people of Canada are sheeple to let that happen. Oh wait, isn’t that happening here ?”

Yep - looks like Bush the Elder was wrong when he said, “If the American people ever find out what we have done, they will chase us down the streets and lynch us.”

Of course, all the “fact checkers” say there’s no evidence he ever said it.

The world is getting a lesson in how Castro would have ruled a nation with more than just cane fields.
