Canada: Trudeau calls uncensored speech ‘destabilizing,’ discusses creation of Digital Safety Commission
Prime Minister Trudeau has left his mark on Canada for a few notable reasons:
- He notably stated his admiration for “China’s basic dictatorship” in 2013, and followed updirectly on this. Now he’s embroiled in a Chinese election interference scandal, in which Chinese consulate officials in Toronto reportedly covertly funded a network of at least eleven political candidates in federal elections in 2019. His own specially selected rapporteur for investigations into this election interference (of 2019 and 2021) is his buddy David Johnston.
- The Freedom Convoy was so outrageously handled by Trudeau that an anti-Trudeau kids book topped Amazon’s bestseller list last year: How the Prime Minister Stole Freedom. He even froze bank accounts and issued a threat about “crushing the Freedom Convoy with tanks.”
- Trudeau imposed a gun ban on Canadians.
- Trudeau passed a sweeping censorship bill, C-11, which his own appointed Senator David Richards referenced as “Stalinesque.”
- He appointed an “Islamophobia” czar.
- Trudeau even managed to find a loophole in Canada’s parliamentary system by signing a pact with the New Democratic Party (which has socialist roots and ideology) to prop him up until 2025.
Now, out of the same Heritage Department from which anti-Islamophobia M-103 emerged, which set the groundwork for Bill C-11, Trudeau intends to go further. He called uncensored speech “destabilizing,” and wants to create a Digital Safety Commission. “Internet censors” will be assigned.
Under section 2 of Canada’s Charter, Canadians are guaranteed the fundamental freedoms of conscience, thought, religion, belief, opinion, expression, the press, communication, and peaceful assembly. Yet Canada continues to be hijacked by its own public servants, and any dissent risks being crushed.
“Trudeau’s cabinet confirms in letter to MPs his ‘commitment’ to appointing ‘internet censors,’” LifeSite News, April 18, 2023:
OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) – A recent letter from the Cabinet of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sent to MPs shows that his Liberal government is “committed” to assigning so-called internet “censors” through a Digital Safety Commission that would police the internet.
According to a Blacklock’s Reporter, Trudeau went as far as calling uncensored speech “destabilizing.”
In the letter to MPs from the House of Commons foreign affairs committee, the text reads that the Canadian government is “considering the creation of a new Digital Safety Commission.”
Incredibly, the agency would be set up to monitor internet content that the government deems “hurtful” through its legal department.
“The Government of Canada is committed to developing new rules for platforms that are backed up by strong enforcement mechanisms,” the text of the letter reads.
The letter continued, adding that the legislation introduction date has “not been determined,” but the “The Department of Canadian Heritage is working with other government departments to deliver on this important initiative.”
So far, there has been no deadline set as to when legislation bringing about internet “censors” will be coming.
In recent months, the Trudeau Liberals have been trying to ram through multiple internet censorship bills into law, notably Bill C-11 and Bill C-18.
However, Canada’s Criminal Code as well as all provincial libel laws already ban hate speech in all forms.
According to Trudeau’s cabinet’s letter, censorship is “a risk-based approach to platform regulation whereby online services would be compelled to identify, assess and mitigate risks on their platforms.”
“The risks to be identified, assessed and measured would be set out in legislation,” the letter reads.
Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) leader Pierre Poilievre has blasted Trudeau’s Bill C-11, saying freedom of speech and to live life as one chooses is something “endowed by God” for all Canadians.
In December, LifeSiteNews reported how released notes showed Trudeau lamented the fact that social media content is hard to “counter,” leading to speculation that his government’s lapsed web regulation bill from last year may be resurrected.
That bill was known as Bill C-36, which critics warned would have censored bloggers and social media users and could have even opened the door to giving police the power to “do something” about online “hate.”
Bill C-36 included text to amend Canada’s Criminal Code and Human Rights Act to define “hatred” broadly as “the emotion that involves detestation or vilification and that is stronger than dislike or disdain (haine).”
The bill would theoretically have allowed a tribunal to judge anyone who has a complaint of online “hate” leveled against them, even if he has not committed a crime. If found guilty, the person would have been subjected to fines of up to $70,000 and could have even been placed under house arrest……
