Justin Trudeau’s plan to erect the great firewall of Canada

Justin Trudeau’s Plan to Control the Internet – His government seeks to erect a great firewall of Canada.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has a plan to regulate speech on the internet by placing it under the control of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. His bill is so awful that Peter Menzies, a former vice chairman of the commission, said it “doesn’t just infringe on free expression, it constitutes a full-blown assault upon it and, through it, the foundations of democracy.”

Mr. Trudeau’s Liberals claim they merely want to level the playing field between traditional broadcasters and online players such as Netflix and Spotify. Yet on its face the bill goes much further.

To begin with, anyone who makes programs available over the internet would be treated as a broadcaster and under the thumb of the CRTC. While websites wouldn’t need a formal license to operate in Canada, the commission would have open-ended power to impose conditions and require them to “make expenditures to support the Canadian broadcasting system.” Who has to do this and how much do they have to spend? They’ll tell us later.

Gwyn Morgan: Canada Harming Own Economy With Carbon Tax While Importing High Carbon Footprint Chinese Products

Any strong words Trudeau may mouth about China are to be taken with a very large grain of salt.

Canada is crippling its economy and damaging its own competitiveness by imposing carbon taxes on Canadian manufacturing while importing products with massive carbon footprints from China without imposing similar taxes, says Gwyn Morgan, one of Canada’s foremost business executives.

“If you’re taxing something that’s already as clean as it could get, all you’re doing is increasing the price and the cost to consumers, industry, businesses, and manufacturing, and making the country less competitive,” said Morgan, founder of Canada’s largest energy company EnCana Corp., now Ovintiv Inc.

Ted Morton: Line 5 fiasco shows Trudeau is a failure on energy policy

The Line 5 controversy highlights Justin Trudeau’s failure to protect one of the most important sectors of Canada’s economy. His infatuation with climate change apocalypse has left Canada’s energy sector at the mercy of partisan American politics. The Line 5 battle has also made it clear that new export pipelines are no longer just an Alberta issue. Forty-five per cent of all the oil used by Ontario and Quebec comes through Line 5. If Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer ever succeeds in shutting the pipeline down, there would be economic chaos in both provinces.

It’s no longer a question of if we should have vaccine passports in Canada but how they should be designed

The question of whether Canada should create COVID-19 vaccine passports was answered by Health Minister Patty Hadju this week when she confirmed that the federal government will create such a system to allow Canadians to travel internationally again.

Now is the time to consider who in Canada will provide such passports and how they should be designed and deployed.

MALCOLM: Trudeau needs to muster the courage to condemn Hamas

“This note is being written in the midst of a significant missile attack from Gaza so please forgive my brevity. I am trying to get this out before I have to run to another location.”

That was an email I received from a colleague earlier this week who is working in Israel. That country has fallen into a civil war against the terrorist insurgency group Hamas.

Diane Francis: Trudeau’s immigration scheme is just another way to redistribute Canada’s wealth

It’s hard to imagine a bigger bungle by the Trudeau government than the vaccine fiasco and budget carnage, but now there’s immigration. Aims are to allow 1.2 million more permanent residents into Canada in the next three years when other, well-managed countries like Australia and New Zealand, are preoccupied with retaining the living standards of their existing populaces by trimming immigration.

Court dismisses CBC copyright infringement lawsuit against Conservative Party – no evidence craptastic reputation sullied

Court finds no evidence broadcaster suffered reputational damage

A lawsuit launched by the CBC against the Conservative Party of Canada in the final days of the 2019 federal election accusing the party of copyright infringement for using the broadcaster’s footage in an online ad and tweets has been dismissed by a federal court.

In his written decision released Thursday, Federal Court Justice Michael Phelan found that the use of such material fell under “fair dealing,” and that there was “no objective evidence of the likelihood of any reputational damage” to the CBC.

“There was no evidence presented that a broadcaster’s segment disclosed in a partisan setting reflected adversely on the broadcaster,” Phelan wrote.
