Bill’s C-10 & C-11. If we aren’t talking about it already, shouldn’t we be?

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.

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.

Just two rotten peas in a communist pod. Marxist Singh says that he wants communism for Canada, and the Marxist turd in Ottawa says that I want that too. Oh boy, I may soon get my bank account frozen if I keep talking like this.

Big surprise for those two Marxist arse holes. There is no money in my bank account anyway for me to take out. I win. LOL.

Disgusting! How can we get rid of this tyrant (PM)? Anyone with any ideas? We're fast going down the road to la la land & nothing will ever make sense again unless we change course.

What needs to be done is for the conservative party to grow some balls and to not attend parliament "ill" any longer until the Marxist turd resigns. They need to demonstrate in front of parliament "ill" and out on the streets. The conservatives need to do something now for Christ sake's. They need to stop sitting on their arses and fight for our freedoms. We cannot wait for three more years. We need action now. That is my conservative suggestion. Works for me. (y)

Where is the conservative party on this communist censorship law? What the phuk are they doing? They should be all out there in full force inpublic square fighting against this evil censorship law. But sadly, they are not. They have decided to play woke and go along with that Marxist dictator in Ottawa. Is the conservative party any better than the other two Marxist communist parties? Obvious they are not. What a bunch of fkn cowards and wimps. The CP do really fear the wrath of the Canadian lying and fake bought off and traitorous media. While Canada burns the CP helps throw gas on the fire. A bloody shameful party indeed. (n)

Thanks to the likes of losers like lefty liberal Serryah, the country is pretty much gone. I do believe that the PPC party would implement all their programs that they have mentioned as a part of their platform of returning freedom back to Canada. But I cannot see them getting enough votes to at least become the opposition party in Canada. If Pierre Poilievre becomes the next leader of the conservative party, my vote would go to him. Pierre pretty much thinks like conservative Maxine Bernier. Gawd help us all if they give the leaders job to that lefty liberal Charest. Canada will be doomed if that idiot ever wins the PC leadership. We might as well try and go for asylum in America. Only leftist liberals, socialists, communists and environmentalists will gladly stick around and be happy living in a communist country. Aw well, we must wait and see what happens with the conservative party. Good luck to all conservatives here. :unsure:

Summer is nearly at an end. Parliament is about to resume. The Conservatives are about to elect a new leader. And our politics are about to enter a period of sharper definition, with clearer differences between the two main parties. Nowhere is this more true, seemingly, than over the issue of government involvement in the media: broadcast, print and internet-based.

The Liberals built much of the current apparatus of subsidies and regulations, and remain unrepentant advocates of it. Not content with regulating radio and television broadcasters – particularly with a view to what proportion of their content meets the regulator’s definition of “Canadian” – the Trudeau government proposes to extend the same regime to the global internet.

Bill C-11, now before the Senate, would regulate audio and visual streaming services as if they were conventional broadcasters: not only the large distributors, such as Netflix or Spotify, but also social-media sites; not only domestic services, but foreign-based ones; and not only provider-generated content, but user-created content as well. All would now have to answer to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission, just as the broadcasters have for decades.


Not content, likewise, with subsidizing the CBC – plus the private broadcasters, plus the magazine industry – the Liberals have lately sought to extend state funding to the newspaper industry as well, with the enthusiastic support of many publishers. The first tranche of aid was provided in 2019 through a five-year, $595-million suite of tax credits known colloquially, and accurately, as the newspaper bailout.

Now the Liberals are proposing to entrench state aid to newspapers through Bill C-18, still before the Commons. Only instead of providing the aid directly out of government coffers, it will be laundered through the major search and social-media platforms, notably Google and Facebook.

Technically the bill would only mandate negotiations on how much the platforms should have to pay to use newspaper content. But who’s kidding whom? Not only would the newspapers be empowered to bargain collectively, as if they were a union, but in the event of an impasse, the issue would fall to the CRTC to decide. One guess whose side it would be likely to take.

That would be troublesome enough, if the platforms were in fact using our content, without paying for it. But as they do not – they merely link to it, to our enormous benefit – the program is revealed for what it is: a crass shakedown. Facebook and Google have money. The publishers want it. So the government will force FacebookGoogle to give the publishers some of it. It’s as simple as that.

Finally, there is the online harms bill, still in the drafting – or indeed redrafting – stage. As originally envisaged, the bill would have given the state vast new powers to regulate or delete content – or even suppress it before it appeared – either directly or via complaints to the Canadian Human Rights Commission. The ensuing flap has apparently caused something of a rethink, but how extensive it has been remains to be seen.

Not sure if it falls under this line but...

Kiwi Farms.

A cesspool of absolute horrible humans was taken down, finally, but it only took doxxing, online harassment, and pushes for people to suicide before something was done.


For those who think the Net doesn't need regulation - well in instances like this, it certain-to-fuck does. It's taken YEARS for it finally to be removed.

For now.

Already there's people worried it'll just set up shop elsewhere and it'll be same shit just different place on the net.

Well of course it will. And worse comes to worse it'll show up on the dark web.

But lets get real - the intent of such legislation isn't to go after kiwi farms. As you note it took years to bring them down, but it took half a day to squash an undesirable story about hunter biden's notebook.

We don't really need more 'control' of the net. That's chasing the tail. Better enforcement options of real world stuff and enforcement of existing laws would be a much bigger benefit going after the types you're talking about who actively advocate for harms to others. THat and teaching people how to protect themselves online ESPECIALLY if you intend to do something that is very public (even if it's not controversial).

But shutting down discussion and the like has never worked out well in history. The ideas persist underground and often with far worse results. And the potential for abuse by an unscrupulous gov't is just way too high.

The Never heard of the and the link doesn’t explain who or what they are or what, exactly they allegedly did. Do we even want to know?

Basically Kiwi Farms was an online forum - like Reddit - where heavily aggressive internet trolls would gather to harass people, whether they were legit an 'issue' socially or not.

From trans people to people with mental issues and other situations. If they thought it broke their so called 'values' for society, then they posted and harassed until damage was done, up to and including death.

Geez fella, did that not just happen not too long ago against many people in the truckers convoy peaceful protest. Many ended up being arrested. And there where even some of those convoy protesters and supporters who had their bank accounts frozen. So called Canadians like you needs to start looking in your own backyard before you look into other's backyards. Canada is no better than what goes on in many countries in the world. We already have our own Marxist dicktator in Ottawa. Try and get you shit together, will you, lefty. :p

When Justin Trudeau stands at a podium and promises that he’s going to make the 1% pay their fair share, he’s engaging in left-wing populist politics. Trudeau’s ongoing call for the 1% to do their part may not be based in fact, but it is a simplistic slogan that he and his followers can repeat over and over again for political gain.

Canada has a long history of populist politicians and parties from Tommy Douglas and his campaign for medicare to Preston Manning’s Reform Party to countless provincial parties. And of course, many of the policies of the Trudeau Liberals would fit this bill.

With the rise of Pierre Poilievre to the leadership of the Conservative Party, populism is in the news a lot lately, and it’s often described in dark tones.

“Can Pierre Poilievre contain the populist beast he has unleashed?” a recent Toronto Star headline asked.

Funny, Trudeau’s populism isn’t ever framed that way.
Etc….
