in canada castro's illegitimate seed will now have you arrested for what you might do. i've been pointing out such things as i see them and they're getting closer to that here;

Canada’s Liberal Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently identified his country’s greatest threat: people freely speaking their mind. A new online harms law, if passed, could potentially enable judges to put people under house arrest if they’re viewed as likely to commit a hate offence.

You read this right. No actual crime would be required for this type of punishment.

Sadly, it’s part-and-parcel with the authoritarian response to free speech in Trudeau’s Canada. Streaming services were mandated last year to register with the government for regulatory controls, and appeals to exempt user generated content were rejected. Prominent author/psychologist Jordan Peterson was told he must go through social media training or lose his medical licence. And when the 2022 Freedom Convoy protested the totalitarian Covid restrictions, the Trudeau Liberals invoked the draconian Emergencies Act to break up the protests and freeze bank accounts.

Here’s the odd thing about this. There was a time, not too long ago, when Canada was regarded as a strong defender of free speech. Canadians viewed it as a cherished principle that protected democratic institutions, defended individual rights and freedoms, promoted intellectual discourse and encouraged free and open debate without fear of retribution or repercussion.

Few Canadians would have disagreed with former Prime Minister John Diefenbaker’s impassioned defence of free speech, either. “I am Canadian, a free Canadian, free to speak without fear, free to worship God in my own way, free to stand for what I think right, free to oppose what I believe wrong, free to choose those who govern my country,” he said in Canada’s House of Commons on July 1, 1960. “This heritage of freedom I pledge to uphold for myself and all mankind.”

That was then, and this is now..........more..........
