Liberal Party and Online Censorship

[West]

Here we go. The LPOC is now calling for censorship of the internet to curtail what they call "disinformation". Of course that just means anything they don't like.

Calling for censorship??

Classic case of misreading the article and intention LOL

"Social media needs to be held accountable for Russian propaganda, Mélanie Joly says"   and  "“They’re not technological companies, they’re content producers. And they have a responsibility and they have to step up to the plate.” and she is correct.

Social media is not publishing news, it just regurgitates whatever anyone wants to say, unchecked and unvalidated.

No more unacceptable views. It hurts Justin's feelings too much

Show trials. Censorship. Fake Emergencies. Restrictions on movement, religion and employment.

Trudeau is on a mission to make the least free nation on earth

The government???

West, if you believe social media as a valid news source then it only demonstrates what kind of intellect you have..
Social media is no more than bar talk...  2 or more guys arguing who is right after 20 beers. LOL

This article is yet another illustration of our government trying to control the press   By now Canadians should understand the dangers of having press that’s heavily beholden to government for its financial survival and a government that promises increased funding ahead of election campaigns.  It’s too susceptible to quid pro quo.

Why doesn’t our government trust Canadians to consider the freely available media and judge for themselves what is credible?   Or is the real reason our government feels the need to censor is that they know without censorship they would be far less convincing?  Our government is losing credibility fast.  It’s far harder to protect democracy when the government decides what expression is permitted.

all the institutions in Canada have been taken over by the zealots of a new secular pseudo religion

they are totalitarian, anyone who does not subscribe to their dogma is an infidel to them

so it's the breakdown between church & state, like in a Middle Eastern country

Individual rights including the right to believe in a higher authority than the government is central to freedom.

if you don't adhere to the new Canadian communism, you will be persecuted as a political undesirable

I don't think so.

It doesn’t feel like Canada is a pluralistic society anymore.  It’s like we’re being railroaded into a way of thinking and being that’s unnatural, mind-numbing, and soul-destroying.  I’m sure some of this is an effect of the pandemic, but there’s a strange tension I don’t remember in our society.  The protests and Emergencies Act had an almost Biblical feeling.  It was a worldwide event that looked like a last resistance against an oppressive force we hadn’t seen before in Canada.  Really unnerving because it’s still very much at play.  The government and courts are actively suppressing free speech.  If you support a protest that the government declares illegal (protest is supposed to be protected by our constitution), you can be charged and fined.  Acceptable behaviour is getting narrowly defined.  Canada looks and feels like a dictatorship.

What freedom are you talking about?

The freedom to work past retirement and still be in debt?

Or the freedom to die whenever you decide to leave the monopoli game ?

It is NOT a free country.

Yep, he branded himself and now wants to brand / vaccinate every single sheep / person in Canada without any good reason.   Freezing bank accounts to all who disagree like he has the mental capacity of  a toddler taking away his toys.

I'm not afraid to speak out against the leftist lunatics who run Canada

but most  people I know are afraid to

most people I know keep their heads down, so they don't lose their jobs, or have their bank accounts seized

people tell me to my face that they are afraid and that Canada has become a totalitarian regime

but they wouldn't say it publically

so that's not a free country to me

Canada has become a small "c" communist dictatorship

postmodern Marxist totalitarianism

but it's been building up to this for years, with whole generations brainwashed by the communist public schools

I don't think there is much you can do about it

Canada is simply a proxy no man's land in an American civil war

Canadians are doomed to be bounced around on the high seas of it, then smashed into the rocks

Trudeau does seem to be a lead figure in the new international model of subjecting a nation state’s sovereignty and the local, democratically chosen interests of people to the central plans of unelected international bodies to meet those bodies’ goals (e.g. public health, climate change, etc.).

that seems to be on trajectory towards violent civil disorder at some point, inevitably

I think west has some good points,  The government is going to tell these content producers what is acceptable and what is not, which is censorship... Not that we really had freedom of speech anyways in pure form, everything we say has consequences, some of them involve going to court... but there are more restrictions being placed on it all the time...  

It has come down to , 2 guys having some beers, and shooting the shit, but that conversation may or could be overheard and even though it was a private conversation it can still take you to court... or a confrontation with another person...or fired from a job...

And while the government is restricting freedom of speech for me and you , who is monitoring them , This government has produced it's own false news meant to mislead Canadians, look at gun control , and statements made by Justin, christen, and my favorite Bill Blair telling out right lies to drive home their points, and sell their products...there are lots of examples, SNC scandal, WE scandal, you get the point...

[Dougie93]

I can see Canada becoming like a giant Ulster

a vicious internecine civil war

but not fought with tanks & artillery

more like Northern Ireland

with Canadian troops patrolling the streets

trying to tamp down a seething revanchist asymmetrical insurgency
