Ottawa is taking Canada on a headfirst dive into government censorship, with the Senate the only obstacle standing between Canadians and the vast ocean of government control.
Calling Bill C-11 a censorship bill is not hyperbole. According to Michael Geist of the University of Ottawa, the bill “would give the CRTC the power to set conditions demoting or applying warning labels to content it considers contrary to Broadcasting Act objectives, which are so broad as to cover a wide range of lawful content.” Geist warns that the bill would see government bureaucrats “force-feed” Canadian content to internet users.
