Your free speech is at risk with Ottawa’s push to regulate online content, experts warn. Here’s why.

Liberal government says controversial changes to broadcasting bill will only apply to professional content (ED. Bullshit)

The federal government is facing an uproar over controversial changes to a bill that would bring videos and other content posted to social media sites like YouTube under the purview of the country’s broadcasting regulator.

The changes to Bill C-10 — made at the behest of Liberal MPs on the heritage committee — would allow the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to regulate user-generated content uploaded to social media platforms, much as it regulates radio and TV content now.

The government says the changes apply only to professional content and are necessary to make wildly successful online streaming services and apps contribute to Canadian culture.

Rex Murphy: We care nothing for free speech — Trudeau’s plan to regulate the internet is but a symptom

Souvenir T-Shirt from the Section 13 Wars. My talent for graphic design was at its creative height.

Freedom of speech is not the high holy ideal it once was. Freedom of expression, the wider concept, expression as thought, speech, art, performance and protest, is likewise no longer the clear and unchallengeable central core value of our democracies.

Impending Online Hate Speech Legislation Worries Free Speech Advocates

A federal bill to combat harmful content and hate speech online is expected to be tabled soon, but free speech advocates are concerned that it may be too restrictive. Critics are also sounding the alarm on amendments to the existing Bill C-10 that seeks to regulate video content on platforms such as YouTube and Facebook.

The hate speech bill soon to be tabled will create a new regulator with the power to levy fines and require transparency from social media outlets, including about their algorithms. The legislation will also set out a legal framework for prohibiting hate speech, terrorist content, content that incites violence, non-consensual sharing of intimate content, and child sexual exploitative content.

You are everything they hate. You are the Hate Crime.

‘Full-blown assault’ on free expression: Inside the comprehensive Liberal bill to regulate the internet

After more than 25 years of Canadian governments pursuing a hands-off approach to the online world, the government of Justin Trudeau is now pushing Bill C-10, a law that would see Canadians subjected to the most regulated internet in the free world.

Ottawa says it only learned Chinese police ran visa centre this year

Ottawa says it only learned in February that Canada’s visa-application centre in Beijing is managed by Chinese police, the same month The Globe and Mail reported the arrangement.

The federal government has trusted its visa centre in Beijing to a police-owned company since 2008, and has been required to conduct due-diligence screenings during renewals of the contract in subsequent years including 2018.

The government acknowledged its lack of awareness in documents tabled in the House of Commons this week in response to written questions from NDP immigration critic Jenny Kwan.

Terence Corcoran: Steven Guilbeault’s platform should be taken down

The Trudeau Liberal government is obsessed with the two greatest industrial complexes of our time, Big Oil and Big Tech. Both must be brought down to ground level, an aggressive federal policy agenda personified by Steven Guilbeault, officially federal minister of Canadian heritage but unofficially a leading intellectual warrior in the battle against the two giant industrial sectors.

PM Gropey says his office didn’t know Vance allegations were about sexual misconduct

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau vigorously defended his top aide on Tuesday, saying that while his office knew there was a complaint against then-defence chief general Jonathan Vance three years ago, no one knew it was about sexual misconduct.

The comments came in response to fresh questions about what the prime minister and his chief of staff, Katie Telford, knew about the allegation against Vance in March 2018 following testimony last week from one of Trudeau’s former advisers.

Responding to a question during one of his regular COVID-19 briefings, Trudeau described his chief of staff as “an extraordinarily strong leader” who has been instrumental in pushing the federal government to become more feminist.

The Liberals are Surging in the Polls Because There is no Opposition

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau despite falling personal popularity ratings is surging in various polls from various polling firms, likely signaling he will be looking to hold a new election sooner than later, once he can find a good enough excuse to hold one.

Diane Francis: Pandemic failure is Trudeau’s biggest scandal yet

The Trudeau government’s incompetence is causing death and economic dysfunction

Canada’s provincial health-care systems are in crisis, the economy is locked down and the Liberal government’s dose-delay edict is putting lives at risk. And yet, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau talks about progress, about his big “portfolio of vaccines” and about how many millions of doses are on their way.

“I’m upset every time the media repeats the government’s claims about the number of vaccines that are planned or expected to arrive at the start of any given week, rather than reporting at the end of a given week on how many vaccines had actually been received,” said one health-care professional who asked to remain anonymous.

Our China Class At Work: Trudeau minister dodges questions on whether Canada has curbed potential forced-labour imports from China

OTTAWA — Canada’s international trade minister on Monday would not provide details about whether the federal government has barred the flow of imported goods from China suspected of using forced labour, months after Ottawa introduced measures purportedly to stop the practice.

In a committee testimony, Minister Mary Ng declined to answer questions from a Conservative MP about how much, if any, imports from the Chinese region of Xinjiang Canadian authorities have intercepted since the Liberal government said it would be cracking down on the issue in January.

GOLDSTEIN: Ontarians poorer than U.S. neighbours by $16,600 — report

Ontarians are becoming poorer and their economy is growing weaker compared to their American neighbours living in the eight Great Lakes states on their southern border, according to a study by the Fraser Institute.

“When we compare the average income of Ontarians relative to Americans in neighbouring states, the situation is getting worse,” said study co-author Ben Eisen in Measuring Ontario’s Regional Prosperity Gap.

Canadian officials not disclosing ‘at least 3’ new Havana syndrome cases: letter

Global Affairs Canada is “withholding information” on more than two dozen recent cases of Canadian diplomats reportedly being assessed for or reporting symptoms of what’s become known as “Havana syndrome,” according to a letter sent to Foreign Affairs Minister Marc Garneau late last week.

Global News obtained a copy of a letter sent to Garneau on behalf of a group of nine Canadian diplomats and their families who say they are struggling to get answers on the symptoms they say they have experienced since serving at the Canadian embassy in Havana, Cuba.

Ottawa’s move to regulate video posts on YouTube and social media called ‘assault’ on free speech

The Liberal-dominated House of Commons Heritage committee has cleared the way for the federal government to regulate video content on internet social media, such as YouTube, the same way it regulates national broadcasting, under a new amendment made to a bill updating the Broadcasting Act.

Conservatives denounce Liberal push to regulate social media posts

“While we support creating a level playing field between large foreign streaming services and Canadian broadcasters, C-10 is a bad piece of legislation giving too much power to the CRTC to regulate the internet and provides no clear guidelines for how that power will be used,” Reyes said in a statement Monday morning.

Matt Gurney: Justin Trudeau’s feminists go AWOL

The federal Liberals like to talk about being a “feminist” government, but when women come forward with allegations of sexual misconduct, no one does anything about it, says Matt Gurney, in this episode of “Basement Tapes.”
