When Attorney General and Justice Minister Arif Virani introduced the Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63, on Feb. 26, I expected this legislation to be the focus of the first query during question period in the House of Commons the next day.
I was disappointed.
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre has said very little about the legislation. He issued a very vaguely worded statement the next day, without even referring to the bill by name, that there should be no redundant bureaucracy and people shouldn’t be punished for their opinions, while saying that people exploiting children or women should be punished by the justice system.
Canadians cannot allow politicians to curtail our freedoms by playing at identity politics.
