Life sentence for banned speech?
Apparently thebesig and I are on the same wavelength this week – today I have another item from the formerly free Canada for you.
A Canadian law that aims to make social media platforms safer is getting flak for what some decry as government overreach.
Introduced late last month, the Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63, would allow judges to imprison adults for life if they advocate for genocide.
The law would also allow a provincial judge to impose house arrest and a fine if there were reasonable grounds to believe a defendant “will commit” an offense – a provision Wall Street Journal columnist Michael Taube likened to the 2002 film “Minority Report.”
Now I can see that advocating genocide is a bad thing. But then – this is the internet now: WHO POLICES IT? Answer: realistically, no one. So they will rely on informers? Thoughtcrime at its best? And how do we determine that someone “will commit” an offense? Is it when someone is stopped lighting the fuse on a bomb (good luck on that, most of ’em use timers or cell phones nowadays. Fuses are so Brisco County.) Maybe it’s something easier to prove – when someone attempts to buy a knife, or God forgive us, a GUN? (Despite their best efforts, total gun bans haven’t happened. Yet.
And as others will no doubt comment, millions of teenagers are competent to spoof message origins – let’s say one decides he doesn’t like KoB, posts a few irate-sounding “kill the damn Yankees” purportedly from his AO – he could be sentenced to life…I guess, because, feewings or something.
It never ceases to amaze me that the liberal’s watchwords are “anti-fascism” and they are the fastest on the planet to accuse someone of being Nazis. Yet their Brownshirts continually to suppress any speech that isn’t theirs, violate the Constitution, demand subjugation of all who don’t BELIEVE, try to ban things that don’t fit with their ideology (man-caused Global warming anyone?), even Draconian penalties for things like immunizations (no shot- no work). Let’s not even discuss all the double standards (since both right and left have fully embraced that!)
Now we have possible life sentences for thoughtcrime, or trying to guess that someone MIGHT commit a crime later.
Beria would be proud.

So what is the punishment for a Parliament that gave a standing ovation to a Ukrainian SS soldier under this law?
The Cheka/NKVD/KGB wishes they had such power.
Don’t forget there are two sets of laws. One set is for us, the other is for them. So calling for the annihilation of Palestinians would be out of bounds and prosecutable. Going for the annihilation of Israel would be totally a okay by them and even encouraged.
Rules are for those you don’t like, comrade!
MORE CONTROL over people’s lives in the hands of government, what could go wrong?
Well, given the flaws amd foibles of humanity, somewhere between this:
…and this:
…or, with “woke” left/libtardery involved, possibly some combination of both nightmares at once.
Hey, weak sissy French boy. Welcome to the club…
yup
The true son of a Communist dictator. What else could we expect?
As I noted yesterday when I posted it, first they came for the guns, now they’re coming for their freedoms. Anybody in America that doubts this now has irrefutable proof.
Anyone with more than one brain cell to rub together could have seen this coming from 100 years ago.
Technically 230 years ago but who’s counting?
Reasonable grounds that a person “will” or “might” engage in provoking “speech” means anyone who has a social media account is at risk.
Here in the U.S., we’ve already seen how big-tech media has monitored and restricted what they perceive as “misinformation” and prohibited comments that oppose the narrative. There’s no reason to believe platforms like Fakebook wouldn’t set its sights on Canadian citizens and report them.
Trudeau and the Canadian Parliament suck.
Even when they allow comments they hide the ones they don’t like.
1 answer to “who” polices.
FaceBook admits that AI is used to verify reports of scams and fake accounts,
and as we know, most fake accounts and scam Sponsored Ads
are NOT taken down when reported.
And as we also know…
Teddy is doing the same thing as the scammers in this story below.
Over 30 FaceBook accounts,
including identity theft of a former TV news reporter,
and several AI fake photo accounts,
including a fake black male veteran,
while running a long assortment of false and misleading Sponsored Ads.
Oh, and also using AI FAKE Donald Trump voice
to fake tout himself as a “United States war hero” and “White House insider”, doing it again just weeks ago.
[ A Fake Bill Ackman Is Scamming Investors Out of Millions on Facebook
And he’s not the only one. A bogus Cathie Wood, a false Steve Cohen and a pretend Peter Lynch are luring victims on social media, and their real-life counterparts can’t keep up. ‘It’s like a game of whack-a-mole.’ ]

And they’re doing a bang up a job about it too.
Currently The SOCOM Commander Only has 20,000 fake accounts pretending to be him on Facebook.
Don’t believe me? Search for Bryan Fenton on Facebook. In fact most flag officers in the US military have thousands of accounts that are fake. Some of them are scammers, and some of them are collection. They are hoping some dumbass private will send them some scandal info on a Fakebook DM, they can then use to exploit.
Practically every key leader in the US government has thousands of fake accounts after them, The US military especially so.
Well, it is Canada after all. They are not citizens, but subjects. They have no rights, only temporary privileges, and thus as long as they support a socialist government like that, they will only be slaves to its system. Apparently they seem to be fine with that though, as they make no serious moves to change it.
“…damn Yankees” is two (2) words? Wow…who knew? Guess I’ve been failing English Composition all of these years.
Baby Daddy Fidel has got to be so very proud of his little Trudy. One has to wonder whom one must be more concerned about….the millions of invaders that have been allowed to come into our country…the thousands of drones probing the borders…or an overwhelming despotic grubermint that wants to disarm us…for our own safety?
Prepare
The
liberalsprogressivesregressives have slammed the tyranny throttle right thru the firewall and are hellbent on making us pay for our reverence to that all-to-often-quoted but vastly misunderstood observation:The solemn promise to “support and defend” rises.
Prepare? Yes. And then some.

Is the ban just for Canadian speech or will I be ok using
a different language. Like English.
Of course, inspired by Antifa’s latest rants supporting Hamas “from the river to the sea” against Israel, it’ll be applied to obnxious “advocating violence” remarks (to include hurt feelings as violence) made by anyone else (especially non-left/libtards).
“….would allow judges to imprison adults for life if they advocate for genocide..”
Does that include genocide against white, Christian, hetero, working, tax paying men and women?
About to dye my hair blue, get a neck tattoo and some facial piercings, rock a Ché shirt so I can blend into the zombie crowd.
CANADA, land of the free
Walt Kelly predicted it. Seasoned readers may remember when Churchy and others were imprisoned on suspicion of being suspicious.
Per the Communists, Fascism is that which opposes Communism, thus “anti-fascist” = Communist.
Try to keep up, folks.
Comrade, rainbow handcuffs and guillotines are clearly superior to any other alternative!
Side note, you are out of Orwell quote credits this month. Please refrain from audacity until the next cycle starting on 01 April 24.
Thank you for your mandatory cooperation.
Hard to believe that Canada was part of the coalition that defeated the Axis Powers.
They were of sterner stuff, unfortunately.
That can be said for those that wore that patch from both sides of the border.
I’d cut the Canadians some slack on that. I wonder if the Crown’s leaders, e.g. Lord Mountbatten, FM Montgomery, et al treated the Canadians as foreign pressee’s and didn’t respect them as soldiers. After Mountbatten’s unpleasantness at Dieppe, the Canadians only sent volunteers to Europe. FM Montgomery adds to my wonderment, why didn’t he let loose the 1st Canadian Army to secure the Scheldt immediately after Antwerp was taken? Why did he wait until the Germans were prepared for the Scheldt Battle. Oops, I answered my own question, Montgomery, in Montgomery’s mind, was the only one who could lead the Western Allies into Berlin, it must be done at once, and he’d take care of the Scheldt when he got around to it.
