My concern is that it might become (I know this sounds like I’m wearing a tinfoil hat) illegal to expose government lies as the exposure would be called disinformation & would run afoul of Bill C-11 & the CRTC.

Back in May 2021, the Canadian chapter of the Internet Society wrote in Le Devoir that Bill C-10, now repackaged as C-11, the Amendments to the Broadcasting Act, vastly expanded the range of “broadcasting” and hence what would need government permission. You can only “broadcast” by virtue of a licence or in conformity to regulation. That is the law: to expand the definition of “broadcasting” is to expand government regulation.
C-11 makes user-generated videos or podcasts — virtually anything involving sound or video — subject to CRTC regulation. Indeed it is a wonder the government stopped there: why not regulate email as well? Nor does the regulation of speech stop at Canada’s borders. Bill C-11 permits the CRTC to exercise global authority over “programs” in any language, from any source.
Defenders of C-11 have argued that nothing the bill allows for would threaten freedom of speech because a clause in the act says so. Which is like the Holy Office of the Inquisition saying it is guided by respect for diversity of opinion. The commission’s decision on the use of the n-word has just proven that statement to be false. The CRTC is all about control: who gets to speak, within what limits, how often, and to what effect. Usually the control is exercised indirectly, but in this case it was overt.
Defenders of Bill C-11 in the TV production community and elsewhere have tried to claim that its opponents are just anglophone bigots fighting against French language television subsidies, or some such rot. No one is concerned with the subsidization of television shows, whether across conventional broadcasting or by internet streaming platforms. Under certain conditions, increasing the flow of money to Canadian TV production is a good idea — but that is not the issue here.
C-11 vastly expands federal jurisdiction over speech. It does so while wrapping itself in the flag of “Canadian content,” which thrives on the internet without permission, subsidy, or concern for official Canadian culture. C-11 would actually harm the interests of Canadian YouTubers, TikTok users and other creators.
The danger of federal overreach on speech control is the issue here. User-generated content does not require CRTC regulation. Despite all denials, despite all pretences that it does no such thing, C-11 is directly aimed at user-generated content, and in expanding state authority over it. The CRTC’s recent decision regarding Radio-Canada is a reminder that we have a government censor. Bill C-11 tells us its jurisdiction is about to expand by orders of magnitude. It’s time to wake up.

Hey punk. you are now spreading disinformation by calling conservatives "righttards". It's Bill C-10 and C-11 time for you punk. Works for me. LOL.That's certainly how it works in the rightards' paradise, Putin's Russia.

Everything "works for you," because you don't know how anything works.
He's signed on with the devil & will regret it if we ever get to an election. With the way Trudeau is imposing his policies, it may well never happen again! Who knows what the future will bring.Why is Singh supporting a party and a leader he condemns on one issue or another every second day? Why does he not use his leverage to demand a cancellation of the carbon tax, better treatment for Alberta, a withdrawal of confidence unless boil-water advisories are finally lifted by a fixed and near date? Why not insist that Parliament return to its full, non-remote functioning in the fall, demand far greater resources for the auditor general, make a determined push for a real and immediate inquiry into the invocation of the Emergencies Act, and accelerate the inquiry into the RCMP and the Nova Scotia mass shooting?
None of these, I grant, would be as exciting as launching a fresh tweet into the angry void, or as innovative as a TikTok minute, but they would connect with real governance, and might even provoke the Trudeau government to step away for a minute from its global-warming obsession and tend to the needs and anxieties of most Canadians.
So that all may understand: There is a partnership, a deal, an agreement, an understanding, a compliance, a pact, a covenant, a bond, an alliance — I hope it is appreciated how much work I am putting into avoiding the word “coalition” in their Non-Coalition Coalition - between the Liberals and the NDP.Rex Murphy: Jagmeet Singh's perplexing support for a government he seems to despise — National Post

After the “most important election since 1945,” in which the Liberals secured only a minority and thus were vulnerable to parliamentary defeat (should Parliament ever actually meet), Singh and Trudeau engaged in some political horse trading and signed a confidence-and-supply agreement. The result is that Trudeau is now guaranteed — unless fate intervenes, and sometimes dear fate does — freedom from confidence votes for three years.
Now to offer that guarantee has to mean, at the very least, that the essential policies of the Trudeau government, its competence and its overall approach to governance, meet the ethical and political standards of Mr. Singh.

Who knows, but just a few days ago, on July 20th, without previous announcement Trudeau tells Canadians (those with kids) to check their bank’s accounts ‘cuz they all got a raise, ‘cuz they’re not giving the Baby Bonus (that already has an income cap) to Millionaires now? Effective that day? It sounded like Oprah telling her audience to check under their seats!! “You get a Car! And You get a Car!! And You get a Car!!!He's signed on with the devil & will regret it if we ever get to an election. With the way Trudeau is imposing his policies, it may well never happen again! Who knows what the future will bring.
It’s not the “rightards” pushing this piece of filth though. Weird that, eh?That's certainly how it works in the rightards' paradise, Putin's Russia.
I guess he's too stupid to realize the WE KNOW that the Child Benefits are based on income so no, millionaires didn't receive benefits. If they did, then I want to know where mine went when my child was under 18!! I'm certainly not nor ever have been a millionaire!!!Who knows, but just a few days ago, on July 20th, without previous announcement Trudeau tells Canadians (those with kids) to check their bank’s accounts ‘cuz they all got a raise, ‘cuz they’re not giving the Baby Bonus (that already has an income cap) to Millionaires now? Effective that day? It sounded like Oprah telling her audience to check under their seats!! “You get a Car! And You get a Car!! And You get a Car!!!
That is not spur of the moment vote purchasing that happens in a single day without preplanning. What is this bribe announcing telling us with respect to what’s coming down the pipe?
The Canada Child Benefit Is Getting A Boost In 2022 & Eligible Families Can Get Almost $7,000
The increase has already kicked in.💰👇www.narcity.com
Check your bank accounts, parents! The Canada Child Benefit (CCB) is getting a boostin 2022 and payments have gone up already?
In a video message shared on Wednesday, July 20, PM Justin Trudeau confirmed that CCB payments had increased effective "today." ??
It means eligible families across Canada will receive more money from the federal government to help with the cost of raising children under 18 years of age.
In the clip, Trudeau says the tax-free monthly payment is for things like food, after-school activities, clothing and "whatever your growing family needs."
He adds that the benefit has been able to support hundreds of thousands of kids across the country, after the feds "stopped sending child benefit checks to millionaires (?????) and focused on the people who really need that support."
Trudeau is purchasing something from voters with their own (and others, and freshly printed) money but what & why now?
