  1. “The Online Harms Act, in all its ominous incarnations, was always going to be all about saving the children. "Except it was never just about that. It was really always about what has been revealed to be its core purpose: suppressing Canadians’ freedom of speech on the internet. The saving the children from exploitation by online predators part is just political exploitation. Either you agree with the bill entirely, its proponents will say, or you don’t want children protected. “Too cynical? If only that were the case. When I wrote about this immediately following the tabling of this legislation on Feb. 26, one commenter pointed out—rightly—that I hadn’t covered all the truly extreme steps Justice Minister Arif Virani had taken with this legislation, which is enormous in both length and complexity. I don’t like to rush to judgment. I don’t like to be wrong and, frankly, some of the provisions were so bizarre they were difficult to believe without affirmation from legal experts. "But affirmed they have been. So here we go. “Online Harms, a.k.a. Bill C-63, will actually make it possible in Canada for you to be placed under house arrest for something the police think you might be thinking about saying online. unquote Bill C-63 Online Harms Act Brings Warranted International Exposure To Trudeau’s Canada | Canada Free Press Another big threat that could be used with this legislation is Artificial Intelligence (AI). We have been warned about AI and the potential it has to drastically affect life on earth. Just imagine AI being used to monitor social media and everyone's comments on the internet. AI could conceivably do that job once it is set up without the need for humans to actually monitor comments themselves. Then AI could pinpoint offenders or potential offenders to this legislation and keep a record. It could even do like China reportedly does and assign points to each individual and if someone has too many points, their identity could be automatically forwarded to the local police detachment for further investigation and action. This is very much like Orwells' 1984.
  2. I don't know if mainstream Canadian MSM is Marxist Leninist; maybe it leans toward Marxism in some ways. quote Ashaft of brilliant sunshine for government-censored Canadians from the unlikeliest source—Fox News ‘Canadian law endorsed by Trudeau government could imprison people for life for speech crimes’- headline, Fox News, March 13, 2024. Antiseptic sunshine comes piercing through the ominous Canadian dark now blanketing Canada. And it wasn’t a single Canadian news outlet that brought in the piercing sunshine, but American Fox News in a carefully worded front page banner story: unquote Bill C-63 Online Harms Act Brings Warranted International Exposure To Trudeau’s Canada | Canada Free Press
  3. " S.O.S. to all Canadians: The Trudeau Government is leading you into a nightmarish, Klaus Schwab-designed Hell on Earth" Bill C-63 Online Harms Act Brings Warranted International Exposure To Trudeau’s Canada | Canada Free Press Yet there are still some that claim Canada is not creeping toward becoming a Communist state.
  4. America is the major defender of freedom in the world. Are you suspicious of America.? I think if you look into it, you will find the Americans are far more transparent about what is going on than the Liberal/NDP government. We hear all the time about how the Canadians government keeps things secret under the pretext of national security even though it is baloney.
  5. If you can't hold your water, maybe you need a pair of Depends.
  6. There is true science which I described and false science which I also described.
  7. You need to explain yourself. I see much of your comments as trying to be evasive and trying to ride both sides of the fence. What do you believe about homosexuality or gender change?
  8. We know it is a private member's bill. It came from a Bloq Quebecois member. Still a very dangerous bill.
  9. That's funny. Do you believe Socialism is evil? What about wealth redistribution? Is that wrong? What about homosexuality? What do you believe about that? What do you believe about gender fluidity?
  10. Canada is creeping toward becoming a Communist state. "The Liberal government’s proposed Bill C-63, the online harms act, is terrible law that will unduly impose restrictions on Canadians’ sacred Charter right to freedom of expression." I chaired the Human Rights Tribunal. It has no business policing 'hate speech' (msn.com)
  11. The claim of man-made climate change is similar to the theory of evolution in the sense neither can be proven. They are based on speculation. Speculation is not science and it is not proof of anything.
  12. Glad you think so. I believe in what is called empirical science. That is science that is based on the tried and true scientific method. It is simple; even a child could understand. If you have a hypothesis, you construct an experiment to prove your hypothesis. If it proves to be true, then you have a fact. If you can't prove it with an experiment, that means you can't claim it is a fact. There are a number of things that many people assume are true such as the big bang theory, the theory of evolution, to name two. But they are simply theories or speculation. A serious problem that many scientists have is they are biased. Many are biased against the idea of God because it is not a part of the material universe. However, logic tells us that every effect has a cause. Therefore since the universe is an effect, it must have had a cause. Again simple logic tells us that nothing does not create something. In other words the universe had to have had a cause. The complexity of it with all the complex and intricate laws of physics that govern matter, atoms, molecules, energy, gravity, the spectrum of energy is something that could not have happened without an infinitely powerful designer Creator. Science and the scientific method were actually discovered and brought forward by scientists who believed in God in the past number of centuries. The problem with the theory of evolution is it is believed by many as an indisputable fact. Children and students are taught evolution is a fact although it has not be proven. The reason it has not been proven is the theory rests on events that supposedly happened over periods of millions of years. Nobody saw it happen and nobody found solid proof that it happened. There are no eye witnesses. The time period of millions of years cannot be re-enacted. There is no way of re-enacting it and therefore it cannot be said to be a fact. There are lots of false beliefs in the world. The world is an imperfect, fallen place. Science is no different. It has its faults and failings and does not have all the answers.
  13. Scientific American is not trustworthy in all areas. They hold a Darwinist world view, which is an anti-God, anti-Christianity bias. They are pro evolution which is an unproven theory. The natural result of being pro-evolution is being anti-Christian. The reason is because most scientists in the most influential positions are Darwinists. It is more of a religion to them.
  14. I just did a search for Canadian bill C367 and it comes up right away. Why can't you do that? It is so simple. It is a private member's bill, which may be why media doesn't bother much with it.
  15. You and Michael hold to the liberal idea that China is not that bad.
  16. Sure it is. Authoritarianism, Socialism, control of everything and everyone to some degree, wealth re-distribution are all part of the Communist ideology in a general sense. The word Communism is a broad term and a state can have many of the characteristics without being a fully fledged Communist state. His contribution has lots of value. Large numbers of people think so to. His reasoning in opposing the woke ideology and liberalism is very good. I don't actually listen to him much; only the odd occasion so I don't know a lot about him, but what little I've heard generally makes sense.
  17. Jesus didn't get involved in politics and the Roman Empire. That was not his purpose. Sounds like you are trying to invent a debate. Canada squandered over 300 million dollars on Haiti in last couple of years and continues to do so. Canada squanders hundreds of millions of dollars all over the world while Canada is desperate to have a proper health care system and other things. What is the matter with this government? It gets a failure on almost everything. That is what the topic is about.
  18. Practically the whole world considers China as a Communist state. "The Chinese Communist Party (CCP),[3] officially the Communist Party of China (CPC),[4] is the founding and sole ruling party of the People's Republic of China (PRC). Under the leadership of Mao Zedong, the CCP emerged victorious in the Chinese Civil War against the Kuomintang. In 1949, Mao proclaimed the establishment of the People's Republic of China. Since then, the CCP has governed China and has had sole control over the People's Liberation Army (PLA). Successive leaders of the CCP have added their own theories to the party's constitution, which outlines the party's ideology, collectively referred to as socialism with Chinese characteristics. As of 2023, the CCP has more than 98 million members, making it the second largest political party by membership in the world after India's Bharatiya Janata Party." Chinese Communist Party - Wikipedia " Which countries are communist? Written and fact-checked by The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica At one time about one-third of the world's population lived under communist governments, most notably in the republics of the Soviet Union. Today communism is the official form of government in only five countries: China, North Korea, Laos, Cuba, and Vietnam. However, none of these meet the true definition of communism. Instead, they can be said to be in a transitional stage between the end of capitalism and the establishment of communism. Such a phase was outlined by Karl Marx, and it came to include the creation of a dictatorship of the proletariat. While all five countries have authoritarian governments, their commitment to abolishing capitalism is debatable." Which countries are communist? | Britannica While they do allow capitalism, they are not totally free in the sense of western democracies because the Communist Party still maintains a certain degree of control of everything that goes on in China. The people are certainly not free as in the west. Human rights and individual freedoms do not exist in the same way as the west. I would be careful saying they are not Communist. They are a strongly authoritarian system with no freedoms and no understanding of human rights. Both the encyclopedia Britannica and Wikipedia call them Communist. I will go by what they say on this.
  19. Not much. You asked what Jesus would do and I answered. Isn't this what Jesus would do - as per the reference to the Supremacy of God at the very top of our Constitution?
  20. Sure it is. It is extreme control of the population and a denial of individual freedom. Well, he sure is popular because apparently millions of people follow him. He must be doing something right. He has struck a nerve. Nobody needs to be "trained" to speak about liberalism or progressivism and expose it. He has a natural talent.
  21. No. Jesus was not a Communist or Socialist. Many falsely believe He was a Socialist.
