A blow to freedom in Canada: Discover the controversial law that could change everything

It's official, the Canadian government is done with the total panic.

After learning about the latest legislative proposal, I am sure you will share with me that not only does their populist drift continue, but they have reached extreme levels.

In March, a proposed law, C-63, was announced, which aims to regulate and prevent future hate crimes on social media and the Internet, which It hasn't happened yet.

Just as it sounds.

Arif Fenari, Minister of Justice and Attorney General, is the main promoter of this legal marvel that aims to play the role of “Minority Report” but without relying on the pre-cognitive twins from a Tom Cruise movie.

It is hard to believe that a world power like Canada would see fit to limit civil liberties in order to supposedly improve security. The ethical and moral questions raised are enormous, as are the legal claims that could arise in the future.

The legislative proposal known as the Online Harm Prevention Act in Canada includes extreme measures such as house arrest or restricting Internet access.

Not only that, they can also impose an electronic tracking device on you to further control you, under the pretext of avoiding potential crimes.

I arrest you at home, block your access to the Internet, and put a tracking device on you…. All for your benefit.

Of course, you haven't done anything illegal yet but maybe you will in the future.

or not.

What could go wrong?

This legislative delirium has the full support of the President of Canada himself, Justin Trudeau.

So much so that the president is selling this bill as a “democratic advance” that balances the right to post “horrible but legal” content with the need for public censorship.

It should be noted that “awful but legal” are the exact words of Justin Trudeau himself. This alone would spark debate about what constitutes “atrocity” and whether the government has the right or obligation to intervene in such matters.

Freedom of expression has never been more threatened in Western societies than it is today, making defending it more important than ever. A bloody example of this is the comprehensive censorship on social media of certain words or expressions related to the epidemic.

Everyone accepted it as a matter of course, while it is one of the most horrific cases of violation of freedom of expression known.

It's the same song we've heard over and over throughout history: individual freedoms are being taken away from us in exchange for a supposed security that never comes.

“He who gives up basic liberty for a little temporary security deserves neither liberty nor security.”

Benjamin Franklin

We hope the bill doesn't make it through the parliamentary process, but I'm not at all optimistic given the Canadian government's record.

Freedom is not negotiated, it is exercised.
