Blackface Trudeau better be careful what he wishes for.
Just sayin'
Well you saw what happened to Humza Yousaf's new hate speech law. Nearly 4,000 complaints were laid against him in the first 24 hrs for his hate speech in parliament. That's the one that J.K. Rowling defied. She won. Now Himza Hazbeen.
Biden is on video being racist, he should be the first one charged if it comes here. Trudeau did blackface, so he’ll be Canada’s first one charged too.
You should've highlighted the scariest parts of the bill, like the potential for life imprisonment for committing speech violations. Or, being forced to wear a tracker and submit to bodily fluid testing because somebody merely reports you because they 'think' you will commit a thought/speech crime. Canada's leftists want to stop just short of out-kooking North Korea.
The irony is that by and large, some of the most friendly and inoffensive people I know are Canadians. I don't go to Canada often, but when I have, everyone is exceedingly nice.
The ones I've met as tourists in the USA are the same way.
So to think they need some Orwellian speech police to lock up those not in conformity with whatever the government of the day deems inappropriate, is well beyond the pale.
Canada doesn't have the same constitutional rights as Americans. There has been laws in effect on free speech for years in Canada.
And hate speech laws have been on the books in America for years. Just not to that extent.
I should have added that those laws would have been unconstitutional in the United States
So Americans are in favor of allowing everything the bill is designed to prevent?

On February 26, 2024, the Government of Canada introduced Bill C-63 to create a new Online Harms Act—a baseline standard for online platforms to keep Canadians safe—to hold online platforms accountable for the content they host. Bill C-63 will create stronger protections for kids online and better safeguard everyone in Canada from online hate. The bill sets out a new vision for safer and more inclusive participation online.
The proposed Online Harms Act would specifically target seven types of harmful content:
* Content that sexually victimizes a child or revictimizes a survivor;
* Intimate content communicated without consent;
* Content used to bully a child;
* Content that induces a child to harm themselves;
* Content that foments hatred;
* Content that incites violence; and
* Content that incites violent extremism or terrorism.
Under the Act, social media services would be subject to three duties:
* A duty to act responsibly;
* A duty to protect children; and
* A duty to make certain content inaccessible, specifically (1) content that sexually victimizes a child or revictimizes a survivor and (2) intimate images posted without consent.
These duties would apply to social media services including livestreaming and user-uploaded adult content services. They would require these services to actively reduce the risk of exposure to harmful content on their services; to provide clear and accessible ways to flag harmful content and block users; to put in place special protections for children; to take action to address child sexual exploitation and the nonconsensual posting of intimate content, including deepfake sexual images; and to publish transparency reports.
The Bill also proposes changes to the Criminal Code, the Canadian Human Rights Act (CHRA), and An Act respecting the mandatory reporting of internet child pornography by persons who provide an internet service.
