Blame Canada? Justin Trudeau Creates Blueprint for Dystopia in Horrific Speech Bill (www.racket.news)

I got in some hot water a while back for admitting I was relatively unconcerned with Republican villainy these days compared to other worries. This Canada Online Harms Act, whose details I missed earlier (apologies to Public and Yuri Bezmenov!), perfectly embodies the kind of thing that keeps me up at night now....

Why don’t you go and debate Matt then? For you young folks that don’t get it — The devil is always in the details. That’s why the law needs to be explicit and not open to loose interpretation. I’m worried about the bill because its intent is not child protection. Think a little deeper. Matt is a distinguished investigative reporter.

It’s the old geezers that don’t get it. Your irrelevance is nigh.

What don’t I get?

is a bizarre twisting of things. The author is either ignorant of Canadian hate laws, while still choosing to report on them, or engaging in purposeful FUD for some reason.

Well, if hate is defined in Canadian Law, let’s stop making more laws about supposed harms. People need to be responsible for themselves and not have a nanny government telling us what is right. This is getting so ridiculous! Society takes generations to adapt to new customs.

This law is about the government regulating thought and speech. Not my government!

Extend my apologies to Matt as you’re thinking deeper.

I dare you to debate him, but you know you’d lose. I just get so tired of drive by comments like yours, that are posted with so little thought.

it’s only conservatives you see online constantly spewing FUD and hate speech.

That is complete nonsense — Both sides spew it. Extremism of any sort is evil. It happens on the left and the right.

Do you recognize how immature you sound? Or are you oblivious to that part of reality too?

Hey kid, you’re the one who mentioned his debating skill.

You’ve lost credibility. Who are you going to call when in trouble?

The credibility police.

We can tell by your posting history that you hate the police. Wonder who you’re going to call when somebody points a gun at you, or stabs you! Bet you’re one of the knobs that agrees with defunding the police too, right?

Not the cops that have Nazi tattoos and like to shoot people.

Agreed, no one like that sort of behaviour. But this ‘Defund the Police’ is nonsense.

Yet another genius who never bothered to learn what “defund the police” actually intended before blathering on about how it’s ridiculous.

I do. I just happen to disagree with it. There isn’t one common denominator of Defund the Police, it means different things to some folk. For example, this local activist who wants to disarm them: www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/1.5594050Which is asine!

Wikipedia is hardly an authoritative source for political factoids. As I explained earlier, if ones does any sort of search you’ll find that there isn’t a definition that everyone agrees with.

Actually he’s a high profile activist and representative of the movement in Toronto. Many of the young people I’ve personally interacted with, seem to think likewise. As I’m a local man, what people believe locally takes precedence over any Wikipedia article or what Solinvictus believes is correct.

Which city is that?

When someone believes anecdotal evidence is representative of anything, you can be assured anything they say is of equal value.

Yes. Like Wikipedia. The video I linked too isn’t anecdotal. I live in the “Hood” and know what black youth think of the coppers and, especially when the movement to ‘Defund the Police’ started, what was the prevailing thought. The fact that someone wrote a Wikipedia article and stated their opinion of what it meant, is anecdotal in and of itself! 🤦‍♂️
