People’s Party of Canada (PPC) leader Maxime Bernier called a new Liberal federal bill that, if passed, would empower the government to ban anyone’s internet access a “digital guillotine” designed to “silence critics.”
“I want to talk to you about a number that should send a chill down your spine: Bill C-8. The Liberals are trying to set it as a cybersecurity bill. Don’t believe them. This bill is a digital guillotine,” Bernier said in a recent X video post.
Bernier said that Bill C-8, named “An Act respecting cyber security, amending the Telecommunications Act and making consequential amendments to other Acts,” would give unprecedented power to federal officials with no due process.
