There is a link between the Rouleau Commission and the Trudeau Liberals’ internet censorship law that is currently being debated in the Senate.
The overreaction of the Trudeau government to last winter’s Freedom Convoy (which has been very much on display at Justice Paul Rouleau’s ongoing inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act), and the government’s justification for Bill C-11 both show the Liberals neither understand nor trust ordinary Canadians.
Both the imposition of the Emergencies Act and the desire to regulate internet content grow out of the Liberals’ arrogant belief that they – and they alone – have been imbued with the intellectual and moral superiority to determine what is in your best interests. You can’t be trusted to do it yourself. After all, left to your own devices, you might not agree with them.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland and other federal cabinet ministers all claimed on numerous occasions the truckers were a radical fringe controlled by white nationalists or foreign governments hellbent on overthrowing Canada’s democracy.
That’s because, unlike frontline police commanders, Liberals have almost no contact with ordinary Canadians and they see the country beyond their isolated little social and professional bubbles as a dangerous pit seething with mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging cretins who will swallow any cockamamie conspiracy theory circulating online.
Were it not for their enlightenment and munificence, the Liberals are convinced Canada would quickly descend into chaos.
That’s the mindset behind their move to regulate the internet, too: They must filter our browsing so you and I do not fall prey to “misinformation.”

Never mind the vast majority of misinformation being spread about the Freedom Convoy was coming from the Trudeau government itself (and from its in-house news agency, the CBC), the Liberals want to filter what you can and cannot see online because they are sure without their wisdom, you will fall for crackpots, racists and radicals.
They must protect you from yourself. Democracy is too important to be left to the people.
This bunker mentality in Ottawa may even partly explain why Saskatchewan and Alberta have both proposed sovereignty acts to blunt Ottawa’s influence in their provinces.
Majorities in both provinces are fed up with remote, detached, smug, central elitists dictating environmental and economic policies to them. So they are erecting barriers to Ottawa’s control.
