"My job is to ensure the safety and security of the Canadian population," said the minister.
Guilbeault revealed that the legislation being tabled is the first step in creating a "safer environment for all people online and not just for a handful," regulating hurtful content beyond what is already covered by the Criminal Code, according to Blacklock's Reporter.
"With the legislation we will be tabling, it won't matter whether or not the company is Canadian," said Guilbeault. "It won't matter where the company is registered or where their servers are located."
"Once a publication is flagged it will have to be taken down within 24 hours of having it being flagged," he said. "There are not a lot of countries that are doing that right now."
"I think it's going to be a really good remedy to a number of problems but it won't solve everything," said Guilbeault. "One of the issues I've learned, looking at different models, is you shouldn't try to tackle everything from the get-go."
Guilbeault said that hate speech will "definitely" be a part of the legislation being tabled, as well as other "online harms."
Guilbeault also said that the bill will aid in maintaining the "social fabric of our society."
Guilbeault has previously cited surveys by the Canadian Race Relations Foundation showing that 93 percent of Canadians "believe that online hate speech and racism are a problem" and 80 percent "want social media companies to be required to remove racist or hateful content within 24 hours."
Guilbeault said "the conclusions of this survey are clear. Hate speech has no place in our society. It's time to step up against online hate. The numbers are disturbing, but they come as no surprise."
He continued, "Almost half of Canadians either have experienced or seen violent and hateful content online. Canadians want us to act and that's exactly why we intend to introduce legislation. Our approach will acquire online platforms to eliminate illegal content such as hate speech, terrorist and violent extremism, child pornography, and the non-consensual sharing of intimate images online."

So, those that dissent, will be captured in the up coming bill, similar to the US and the Western countries, currently in debate. The Domestic Terrorism Act,/Bill, whatever name it will be designated
Ah! Is this the "New Normal" . Those two wolds that have been bandied around for the past 18 month, and the reality is, the people of the world have no idea what the "New Normal" is.
It is only in the minds of the creators of the "Great Reset". and those that push the agenda AKNA Claus... whatever his last name is (he has no idea of the final solution. he is just a pawn in the game).
Just like Trudeau, a pawn in the game, toying with the minds and lives of the people. And sadly looks like many have swallowed the narrative, of a greater and better world into a future of complete mechanical/technological authoritarian slavery.
Anyone have any Barretts to loan to our poor downtrodden fellow honkies in the great white north?
Oh, what? You remember how we sent over LOTS of rifles to England ~ 1940 to defend against the potential invasion? And with express promises for them to be returned 'after the war'? And how around 1946 England crushed and destroyed almost all of them*? (I'd guess ~ 250K rifles but that's an ancient memory and that from some NRA magazine and after all you know how THEY have always lied. (Sarcasm - but don't get me going on what the NRA has done -better said not done and/or affirmatively and willfully done wrong these past 30 years.)
Nevermind then. Send them to Florida or Texas where the last stands will sadly probably happen. (Kinda makes one fear that we'll end up feeling more like like Beau Geste than any 'hero'.) Whatever. If I split and the net is still up, y'all will get my forwarding

*I guess that you UKies (or UKes - what do y'all prefer - latter pronounced 'yukes') were always early in on the whole recycling thing.

Regarding Barretts, in the Great White North. The Great Rip Off. Nothing more than a transfer of wealth and a money laundering operation IMO.
Could be wrong, I am nothing more than an ignorant pleb.
I do find everything those kids do to be so 'good for my soul funny' ... whatever. They're great. They've got probably >50 different videos like that at their YT page here: [Link] . (For a while they even got banned from reddit! That cancel stuff is all so irritating. (I just caught myself and skipped right there using some standard and quite natural for all my life profanity - as we heard as we grew up here (we learned it from our dads) 'no one swears better than an airman.' (or something like that) - so, yes, you perceive me very well. (My occupation - and even schooling - long ago taught me, though, where I could and could not get away with swearing and I've learned to not violate that - it damn sure wouldn't do in a trial memo, though I know that I must have thought about using that 'damn sure' phrasing literally thousands of times in some formal pleading or such, but even before law school I learned that such always came with far more minuses than pluses.

Codis: Infra: You've grabbed the kiiler point and killed it! Kudos!
Another case of lying with statistics.
Keep pushing Doug. Your new bulls$%t rules will not silence dissidence, it will only make us stronger and more determined.
Want everyone to know that I and many others that I have talked to have been issued covid fines. THEY ARE ALL BEING THROWN OUT. Stand up for your rights like the pastor in Calgary did. A true inspiration.
Even my mother agrees with me. The Conservatives and NDP are just the same - a bunch of feeding at the trough morons in it for the perks, salary and pensions. Democracy is 100% horseshit in Canada or any 5 eyes hellhole.

I agree and I will add that I see the Liberals as being on top of the pile as far as corruption is concerned.
