Did Biden follow Trudeau into the censorship ditch?
Dangerous when words are now labeled violence.As authoritarian regimes are expanding all around the world, notes Freedom House, Canada and other western nations seem to be tilting in that awful direction. Some Canadians may fear the future of democracy under a new Donald Trump administration in the United States, but they would do well to look closer to home.
Indeed, even as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau issues statements denouncing Russia and China, his regime is now contemplating an online harms law, Bill C-63, which would permit judges to impose house arrest on those who they fear might commit a hate crime in the future. In the case of the most heinous speech, like advocating for genocide, this law would allow lifetime imprisonment. Lighter sentences or simple house arrest could be applied to anything that censors regard as hate speech, which could include such things as “misgendering” people or criticizing any aspect of Islam.
The write up at the above link isn’t short, but it is interesting. The link below is another view from the outside looking in:![]()
Joel Kotkin: Aggressive Canadian progressivism is descending the country into crazy — National Post
Justin Trudeau's expansion of state power over media and technology has troubling similarities to Russia, China and Iranapple.news
What makes this worse is that this all comes after a period in which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been perfectly happy to call decent, ordinary Canadians Nazis. To use measures like the de-banking of his critics in moves that have horrified most of the other democracies in the West.![]()
Douglas Murray: Canada's descent into ignorance shocks the world — National Post
An unbearable stupidity has trickled down from the Liberal governmentapple.news
When a bank in my country of birth — Britain — was recently found to have de-banked a politician (Nigel Farage) for what turned out to be political reasons not only did the head of the bank resign, but politicians in Britain from across the political system condemned the bank. Such moves are unlikely to be taken by another bank in Britain again. But in Canada it seems to be perfectly acceptable, because at any time the Canadian prime minister and deputy prime minister can claim that their critics are homophobes, xenophobes, racists, Nazis, misogynists and all of the rest, etc….
Remember , sticks and stones will break my bones , but words will never hurt me ?Dangerous when words are now labeled violence.
One persons violent words could be anothers lullaby. Who decides? The crybaby?
Anywho….today is a banner day for Lib/NDP etc…That’s an example though. More concerning is that layered Bill’s C-63 on top of C-18 (I believe) on top of C-11 (formally known as C-10) where as the liberal minority Canadian government wishes to police the World Wide Web Internet…Which will, if acknowledged at all, just block content or access to Canada, as a fix towards compliance with the above layered goat rodeo.
This going hand-in-hand with draconian heavy handedness towards its own citizens (Canadians) creating a new bureaucracy and empowering Canadian human rights tribunals and the CRTC towards policing the global Internet.
So it sounds like the Canadian media will not have to bust their a$$e$ to report facts. They'll continue to support government edicts. Oh my....

I am (still) a licensed psychologist in Ontario, and was once a full professor of psychology at the University of Toronto. Back in 2016, both of those occupations basically came to an end, when I had the temerity to object to the idiot legislation passed by our jackanapes prime minister, Justin Trudeau, the worst leader Canada has ever had, and a contender for the worst in the western world.
His moralizing compatriots decided at the time that it was a good idea to rejig the very definition of sex — what could go wrong with that? — and to simultaneously compel everyone to accept that redesignation, on pain of law.
Bill C-16 made it illegal to discriminate on the basis of the made-up neo-Marxist/postmodernist/queer theory categories of gender identity, which do not exist, and of gender expression, which is literally nothing other than fashion (from the Ontario Human Rights Commission: “Gender expression is how a person publicly expresses or presents their gender. This can include behaviour and outward appearance such as dress, hair, make-up, body language and voice. A person’s chosen name and pronoun are also common ways of expressing gender”).![]()
Jordan Peterson: I will see this contemptible 're-education' process through to its absurd end — National Post
Having failed to persuade the Supreme Court, I am going to see what constraints are put on my speech, and I am going to make it as public as possibleapple.news
This is legislation for ideologically addled three-year-olds. Bill C-16 is, in a phrase, unutterably stupid, as only a damned fool would assume that criticizing the fashion choice, say, of an autogynephilic 40-year-old with children who decides, despite his family, that he is really a woman — and now wears a dress and nylons for sexual kicks — has anything to do with the racism that doomed the Blacks in the southern United States to their fate, or the murderous anti-Jewish pogroms of Eastern Europe, etc…
But we have become such fools in Canada, moralizing blindly and pridefully while inverting our traditions and perverting our legal system.
Who cares? Why die on that hill? People asked me such things when I said very publicly that I would rather rot in jail than use the bloody pronouns demanded of me by people too stupid to understand what they were doing — the outright metastatic communists of the progressive liberals and the minor moralizing tyrants of the elite liberal bureaucracy. I care.
Why? Because I could see where all this idiocy was headed, as clear as day. I told the arrogant fools in the Canadian Senate (and a hostile and dismissive bunch they were) that confusing young people about their sexual identity would lead to an epidemic of gender dysphoria among young women, and that is precisely what has happened.

Well, he’s an articulate whiney bitch if nothing else.So as expected, he turned into a whiney bitch because the Law won't tell the College Of Psychiatrists that they have to let him be the sole exemption from their oversight.
I love it.
Maybe 10 or more years ago.Well, he’s an articulate whiney bitch if nothing else.
Post 474 reads like he’s verbally articulate.Maybe 10 or more years ago.
Now a gerbil with a mouth full of seeds makes more sense.
