[It’s a small victory and buys us time. Parliament is so clogged with backlog, two months of filibuster because the Liberals won’t turn over all the documents Parliament ordered in regards to the Green Technology Fund scandal, and, of course, the crisis Canada faces because President Trump may impose tariffs because of our lax border and thriving fentanyl industry, that virtually nothing is getting done as we hurtle to a federal election which can’t come soon enough. So, the Trudeau government in splitting the noxious “Online Harms” Act, Bill C-63 into two: The first bill will deal with ponderous new bodies to harass Internet Service Providers to restrict kiddie porn, revenge pron, etc., which are already restricted.. The projected cost of this new censorship apparatus is estimate to be $200-million and it may take many months to train staff. It is this bill which will have have priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The more police state provisions — life in prison for “hate motivated” crimes, life in prison for advocating genocide, prior restraint a judge can order if convinced a person May commit a “hate crime”, the return of Sec. 13 and the tyranny of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, where there can be anonymous complainants and astronomical fines — will be put into another Bill which has lesser priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The usual proponents of censorship aren’t happy. The Jewish lobby, primarily the old Canadian Jewish Congress, has been the prime instigator, beginning in the 1930s of anti-free speech laws. It’s successor is angry. “The Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs expressed concern about what it said appeared to be the government backing away from the part of the bill meant to address rising acts of antisemitism. At a time of widespread antisemitism, we are very disappointed that the Liberal government is, in effect, dropping the parts of the bill which could have had an impact on the spread of Jew-hatred online,\u201d said \u00a0Richard Marceau, vice-president of external affairs and general counsel. \u201cIt is time for the government to commit to fighting antisemitism concretely.” (National Post<\/strong>, December 5, 2024) “Anti-Semitism” is serious criticism of Jews or the State of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

An the other side of the infernal quarrel in the Middle East also is unhappy. “”A spokeswoman for the National Council of Canadian Muslims says in a statement the organization \u201chas been in favour of hate crime reform and balanced online harms legislation that respects civil liberties.\u201d \u201cWe are committed to working with all parties to make sure that things move forward positively, but we are seeing more and more examples of how hate crime legislation and the Criminal Code in relation to hate isn\u2019t being appropriately applied,\u201d wrote Fatema Abdalla.” — Paul Fromm]<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trudeau Liberals blink on censorship bill \u2014 but the fight isn’t over!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Liberals say they’re still committed to bringing in the worst parts of the ‘online harms bill’, but now they’ve split the legislation in two parts. It’s a win for freedom of speech and the over 75,000 Canadians who have signed our Stop The Censorship petition. But the fight isn’t over yet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
