“I can’t be a racist sack of shit and spew hate speech in Canada so I’m not coming!” - a fetid sack of gangrenous anal sphincters.

    Well that should give Trudeau a nice boost in popularity, I’m guessing. I’m relatively sure we’re not crying in our Molson Canadians because a 'roided out douche isn’t going to come here.

      Calling it Trudeau’s policy is just another lie from Rogan.

      Those hate speech laws have been on the books for a lot longer than Trudeau has been involved in politics.

    Awesome. While you’re at it can you convince Jordan Peterson to permanently move down to Texas with you? We’d love to get rid of that shit.

    Honestly, most Canadians are more ashamed of Peterson than Bieber and that’s a fucking accomplishment.

        Biebs is just being a young rich kid. Only thing is he’s 30 now. He doesn’t do as much silly stuff as he used to, which is good.

        I was kinda worried about him for a while: rich kids surrounded by “yes men” don’t always make solid decisions. Extrapolate that to worldwide fame and things can go seriously fucky.

          Yeah I’m not a Bieber fan but being ashamed of someone for threading the needle to become a super star is weird.

    If he thinks we’re far into the erosion of individual rights now, wait till he hears about our Conservatives!

      The funny thing is that Americans think that guns and hate speech make them the freest country in the world.

        The people that embrace that shit think that, yes. However, there are plenty of us who don’t. I’d appreciate not being lumped in with the former.

      Really quality content from a 1-day-old account. Thank you for your insightful contribution and definitely not being yet another troll from the troll farm.

        I’m not a troll. I’m also not an echo chamber. Trudeau does not care about Canada.

        Edit: To be clear the online harms act is mostly a good law, but the definition of “Content that foments hatred” is quite vague. You could end up saying something like a joke that no one likes. Basically, what I just said about Trudeau, and that could be classified as hate speech.

          I would also point out that we already have " public encitment of hatred" as a law, and Canada has set bars or things that something must meet in order to classify. Adding the same crime to online places shouldn’t be that wild.

            We will see. Giving so much freedom to the new digital safety committee without much due process does not really sit well.

            I’m not for hate speech, but I am for opinions, and I also don’t care if people don’t like them.

            I just hope this bill does not end up punishing free thinkers, and that is my major concern.

            With that said, I’d be happy if I’m wrong, and this bill works out.

            Although, I’d still like Trudeau to leave Canada 🤷🏼

              Fair enough, but if they wind up misusing the power it won’t be long before someone makes a big stink and brings it to the human rights tribunal claiming they violate due process, and then it will be up to the courts to decide. I’d be surprised if it did, since historically our committees and groups like this tend to do less, rather than more, but it may happen.

              It won’t punish ‘free thinkers’ but it will punish those who have used online spaces as a free space to incite hatred, as it has been defined in Supreme Court hearings, which involves it being hatred targeted towards “any section of the public distinguished by colour, race, religion, ethnic origin or sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or mental or physical disability.” Based on this definition, it cannot be used against those who hate Trudeau/make jokes about him for things he has or has not done, as he is not distinguished by colour, race, religion, etc.

    He is free to stay right where he is. Canada doesn’t need him.
