    Canada: Trudeau's Government Wants More Censorship, Life in Prison for "Inciting Genocide"

    Snake Baker
    March 1, 2024

    If you don't like it, the government will be happy to help you kill
    yourself.

    Seriously, they're going to sentence people to prison for speech crimes and then say "your other option is to kill yourself."

    BBC:
    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-68409929

    Canada has introduced a new bill that aims to combat online abuse with
    steep penalties for hate crimes - including life in prison for inciting genocide.

    The proposed Online Harms Act requires social media platforms to remove posts - such as those which sexualise children - within 24 hours.

    The law would regulate social media companies, live streaming platforms
    and "user-uploaded adult content" websites.

    The bill still needs to be voted on by Canada's Parliament

    It lists seven categories of harmful content that providers would be required to remove from their websites. Banned content includes posts made to bully a child or those encouraging self-harm.

    Oh, my.

    Someone has to think of the children, you know.

    The poor children.

    The proposed Act would create a "digital safety commission of Canada" to regulate online platforms.

    "We know the harms we experience online can have real world impacts with tragic, and sometimes fatal consequences," Justice Minister Arif Virani
    said in a news conference on Monday.

    No, actually, they don't. If someone kills themselves because of something
    they saw on the internet, that is a decision they made. It's no different
    than killing yourself because you heard the sound of birds. Actually, it is different, because you can't turn off the sound of birds. You can turn off
    your internet screen.

    There is no such thing as "real world internet harm." It's a total spook, created for the justification of censorship. And the only people who want to censor political speech are liars.

    "And yet so much of this goes unchecked."

    He said that the bill would ban deep-fakes, such as images that recently went viral showing Taylor Swift's head on a naked woman's body. Private messages sent between individuals would fall outside of the law's provisions, he added.

    Banning deep fakes is deranged.

    People have a right to make images on their computers.

    You could ban porn. Porn isn't protected speech. But they won't ban porn, because porn keeps the male population docile. If it wasn't for porn, men
    would be rioting over the denial of their sexual needs by the feminist
    state.

    The bill must first be studied by a parliamentary committee and by the Senate - both of which may introduce changes to the final draft of the
    bill.

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government also plans to amend the
    criminal code to increase hate crime penalties, including by introducing a new offense punishable by up to life imprisonment for those found guilty
    of inciting genocide.

    The Canadian Human Rights Act would also be amended to classify hate
    speech as discrimination, and would allow the Human Rights Tribunal to handle hate speech offenses.

    Life in prison.

    For calling for genocide.

    Calling for genocide is very reasonable, at least in one specific case I can think of.

    But what about the Jews, who are actually committing a genocide? Are they
    going to be punished? Or is it just going to be people who say the Jews
    deserve the same treatment they give the Palestinians?

    Canada: Trudeau's Government Wants More Censorship, Life in Prison for "Inciting Genocide"

    Censorship? No, that's a misread of the proposed
    act. What they're doing is updating the laws to
    make them properly-effective in dealing with the
    incitement of hate, comitting sexual harassment,
    and posting child pornography on social media.

    Inciting genocide is already illegal in Canada,
    and the changes are extending the punishment to a
    "maximum" sentence of life in prison from the
    current maximum of 5 years.

    Are you offended that people who incite genocide
    could be convicted and put in prison? Does it
    offend you that inciting hate, committing sexual
    harassment, or posting child pornography is being
    explicitly classified as a criminal act? If so,
    why does it offend you? Frankly, I think this is
    good because people who advocate for genocide,
    sexually harass others, or post child pornography
    should be held accountable for those crimes.

    Your accusation that this new legislation is

    isn't commensurate with reality, because the act
    doesn't prescribe such an outcome at all.

    You obviously haven't read the proposed

    Oh, my.

    Someone has to think of the children, you know.

    The poor children.

    The legislation is clarifying what social media
    companies have mostly been doing already, albeit
    with various inconsistencies. So, a baseline is
    needed to ensure certain practices are in place,
    such as reporting back to the user who flagged
    content as to the outcome of whether the content
    of concern was removed or left in place.

    The legislation also formalizes recourse for
    users to report to the Government of Canada when
    a social media operator doesn't provide an easy
    means of reporting that violates the act.

    The proposed Act would create a "digital safety commission of Canada" to regulate online platforms.

    "We know the harms we experience online can have real world impacts with tragic, and sometimes fatal consequences," Justice Minister Arif Virani said in a news conference on Monday.

    No, actually, they don't. If someone kills themselves because of something they saw on the internet, that is a decision they made.

    There is no such thing as "real world internet harm." It's a total spook, created for the justification of censorship. And the only people who want to censor political speech are liars.

    Again, you obviously haven't read the act, which
    clearly states in the "Purpposes of [the] Act"
    section that freedom of expression is respected
    in [the first reading of] section 9(c):

    "considering that exposure to harmful content
    online impacts the safety and well-being of
    persons in Canada, mitigate the risk that
    persons in Canada will be exposed to harmful
    content online while respecting their
    freedom of expression;"

    Your paranoia comes across as a Conservative Party
    talking point that plays on peoples' fears. You
    really should read the proposed legislation and do
    some basic research instead of relying on someone
    else's faulty opinions.

    "And yet so much of this goes unchecked."

    He said that the bill would ban deep-fakes, such as images that recently went viral showing Taylor Swift's head on a naked woman's body. Private messages sent between individuals would fall outside of the law's provisions, he added.

    Banning deep fakes is deranged.

    There isn't a direct banishment on deepfakes
    in general. Deepfakes are included as one of
    the methods of generating "intimate content
    communicated without consent," which is what's
    actually being regulated.

    People have a right to make images on their computers.

    That's correct, ableit with the exception of
    making child pornography -- that's illegal, and
    it can land you in prison for 1 to 14 years.

    You could ban porn. Porn isn't protected speech. But they won't ban porn, because porn keeps the male population docile. If it wasn't for porn, men would be rioting over the denial of their sexual needs by the feminist
    state.

    That's a non-sequitur. Pornography is not
    illegal in Canada, and responsible publishers
    (e.g., Playboy, PornHub, etc.) are thriving in
    the Canadian markets, publishing content that
    complies with Canadian law.

    The bill must first be studied by a parliamentary committee and by the Senate - both of which may introduce changes to the final draft of the bill.

    Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's government also plans to amend the criminal code to increase hate crime penalties, including by introducing a new offense punishable by up to life imprisonment for those found guilty of inciting genocide.

    The Canadian Human Rights Act would also be amended to classify hate speech as discrimination, and would allow the Human Rights Tribunal to handle hate speech offenses.

    Life in prison.

    For calling for genocide.

    That's a maximum sentence, and when one considers
    the consequences, the victims of genocide aren't
    being resurrected nor brought back to life in any
    other fashion.

    Calling for genocide is very reasonable, at least in one specific case I can think of.

    What case would that be? From my perspective,
    genocide is not a reasonable option.

    But what about the Jews, who are actually committing a genocide? Are they going to be punished? Or is it just going to be people who say the Jews deserve the same treatment they give the Palestinians?

    You seem to be pushing propaganda. I could ask
    you "What about ending the 80-year long war?" but
    I suspect you don't care about this because it
    wasn't the focus of the rest of what you wrote.

    But, please, feel free to correct me and tell me
    that you favour a complete end to the war between
    Palestine and Israel, with a result being that
    people from both sides can live in peace, with
    the Jews and the Muslims co-existing without any
    animosity. That is possible, right? Or do you
    prefer to use genocide as a tool of resolution?

    Misgendering someone in Canada is now a crime. How much do you trust

    confidence that they won't do this.

    'Contrary to the tweet's claim, the bill doesn't prohibit misgendering
    or criticizing members of the LGBTQ community, nor does it mention
    prosecution. Instead, it allows the attorney general to designate
    "2SLGBTQI+ community safety zones."

    The bill allows for a fine of up to $25,000 for those that "perform an
    act of intimidation" within 100 meters of the safety zones.

    "Acts of intimidation" are defined by the bill as creating a criminal disturbance, distributing hate propaganda, uttering threats on the basis
    of social orientation or gender roles, or engaging in homophobic or
    transphobic protests or demonstrations.'

    So, based on your reasoning ... for inciting genocide,
    a maximum penalty of 5 years in prison is not censorship,
    but the new maximum penalty of life in prison is?

    Inciting genocide is already illegal, producing or
    ditributing or possessing child porngraphy is already
    illegal, and inciting hate is already illegal. Are you
    opposed to these laws, and think that people should be
    exempt from accountability when commiting the very acts
    that both the current and updated laws prohibit?

    Dr. Jordan Peterson is wrong about that -- he doesn't
    understand Canadian law (and it's not his background),
    so you should really stop paying any attention to his
    opinions on this matter (which are trivially debunked
    by simply reading the laws he blathers on about).

    Misgendering people in Canada isn't a crime. What is
    a crime is harassing people, and the various forms of
    harassment include intentionally misgendering someone
    as part of that harassment effort. (If you actually
    read the relevant Canadian laws you would know this.)

    Banning deep fakes is deranged.

    There isn't a direct banishment on deepfakes
    in general. Deepfakes are included as one of
    the methods of generating "intimate content
    communicated without consent," which is what's
    actually being regulated.

    People have a right to make images on their computers.

    That's correct, ableit with the exception of
    making child pornography -- that's illegal, and
    it can land you in prison for 1 to 14 years.

    You could ban porn. Porn isn't protected speech. But they won't ban porn,
    because porn keeps the male population docile. If it wasn't for porn, men
    would be rioting over the denial of their sexual needs by the feminist
    state.

    That's a non-sequitur. Pornography is not
    illegal in Canada, and responsible publishers
    (e.g., Playboy, PornHub, etc.) are thriving in
    the Canadian markets, publishing content that
    complies with Canadian law.

    The bill must first be studied by a parliamentary committee and by the
    Senate - both of which may introduce changes to the final draft of the
    bill.

    The Canadian Human Rights Act would also be amended to classify hate
    speech as discrimination, and would allow the Human Rights Tribunal to
    handle hate speech offenses.

    Life in prison.

    For calling for genocide.

    That's a maximum sentence, and when one considers
    the consequences, the victims of genocide aren't
    being resurrected nor brought back to life in any
    other fashion.

    Calling for genocide is very reasonable, at least in one specific case I can >> think of.

    What case would that be? From my perspective,
    genocide is not a reasonable option.

    But what about the Jews, who are actually committing a genocide? Are they
    going to be punished? Or is it just going to be people who say the Jews
    deserve the same treatment they give the Palestinians?

    You seem to be pushing propaganda. I could ask
    you "What about ending the 80-year long war?" but
    I suspect you don't care about this because it
    wasn't the focus of the rest of what you wrote.

    But, please, feel free to correct me and tell me
    that you favour a complete end to the war between

    people from both sides can live in peace, with
    the Jews and the Muslims co-existing without any
    animosity. That is possible, right? Or do you
    prefer to use genocide as a tool of resolution?

    The Jews do not commit genocide or any other wrongs. We are the chosen
    people and it is a hate crime for anyone to suggest otherwise. If
    anyone chooses to argue the point, I have just one word to say:

    Canada: Trudeau's Government Wants More Censorship, Life in Prison for

    Censorship? No, that's a misread of the proposed
    act. What they're doing is updating the laws to
    make them properly-effective in dealing with the
    incitement of hate, comitting sexual harassment,
    and posting child pornography on social media.

    Inciting genocide is already illegal in Canada,
    and the changes are extending the punishment to a
    "maximum" sentence of life in prison from the
    current maximum of 5 years.

    Are you offended that people who incite genocide
    could be convicted and put in prison? Does it
    offend you that inciting hate, committing sexual
    harassment, or posting child pornography is being
    explicitly classified as a criminal act? If so,
    why does it offend you? Frankly, I think this is
    good because people who advocate for genocide,
    sexually harass others, or post child pornography
    should be held accountable for those crimes.

    If you don't like it, the government will be happy to help you kill

    Your accusation that this new legislation is

    isn't commensurate with reality, because the act
    doesn't prescribe such an outcome at all.

    You obviously haven't read the proposed

    Dr. Jordan Peterson's approach because he was
    dead-wrong about Canadian laws in the past, and
    if he's been giving his opinions on these new

    Oh, my.

    Someone has to think of the children, you know.

    The poor children.

    The legislation is clarifying what social media
    companies have mostly been doing already, albeit
    with various inconsistencies. So, a baseline is
    needed to ensure certain practices are in place,
    such as reporting back to the user who flagged
    content as to the outcome of whether the content
    of concern was removed or left in place.

    The legislation also formalizes recourse for
    users to report to the Government of Canada when
    a social media operator doesn't provide an easy
    means of reporting that violates the act.

    No, actually, they don't. If someone kills themselves because of something >>> they saw on the internet, that is a decision they made. It's no different >>> than killing yourself because you heard the sound of birds. Actually, it is >>> different, because you can't turn off the sound of birds.

    There is no such thing as "real world internet harm." It's a total spook, >>> created for the justification of censorship. And the only people who want to

    Again, you obviously haven't read the act, which
    clearly states in the "Purpposes of [the] Act"
    section that freedom of expression is respected
    in [the first reading of] section 9(c):

    "considering that exposure to harmful content

    Last Wednesday, the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal ruled in

    using gendered nicknames such as sweetheart, sweetie, and honey.

    In a 42-page ruling, Tribunal representative Devyn Cousineau found
    that the restaurants alleged misconduct violated British Columbias
    Human Rights Act. She went on to write that pronouns are a
    fundamental part of a persons identity and that their proper usage
    indicates that we see and respect a person for who they are."

    Yup, a Canadian court ruling that you must call a woman a man isn't a
    law. It matters not what the wording of a law is if a court
    interprets to mean something else. The Court decides what the law
    actually means.

    How does your brain resolve this obvious inconsistancy?

    'Contrary to the tweet's claim, the bill doesn't prohibit misgendering
    or criticizing members of the LGBTQ community, nor does it mention >prosecution. Instead, it allows the attorney general to designate
    "2SLGBTQI+ community safety zones."

    The bill allows for a fine of up to $25,000 for those that "perform an

    Censorship?  No, that's a misread of the proposed
    act.  What they're doing is updating the laws to
    make them properly-effective in dealing with the
    incitement of hate, comitting sexual harassment,
    and posting child pornography on social media.


    The end result IS censorship.  Odd that you would deny this.

    Inciting genocide is already illegal in Canada,
    and the changes are extending the punishment to a
    "maximum" sentence of life in prison from the
    current maximum of 5 years.

    Are you offended that people who incite genocide
    could be convicted and put in prison?  Does it

    Misgendering someone in Canada is now a crime.  How much do you trust
    the politicians to not redefine "incite genocide"?  I have little
    confidence that they won't do this.


    I suggest you start reading something other than Newsmax:

    'Fact check: No, new Canadian bill won't allow prosecution of those who misgender others'

    <https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/factcheck/2023/04/17/fact-check-post-misrepresents-new-canadian-lgbtq-bill/11648841002/>

    'Contrary to the tweet's claim, the bill doesn't prohibit misgendering or criticizing members of the LGBTQ community, nor does it mention prosecution. Instead, it allows the attorney general to designate "2SLGBTQI+ community safety
    zones."

    The bill allows for a fine of up to $25,000 for those that "perform an act of intimidation" within 100 meters of the safety zones.

    "Acts of intimidation" are defined by the bill as creating a criminal disturbance, distributing hate propaganda, uttering threats on the basis of social orientation or gender roles, or engaging in homophobic or transphobic protests or demonstrations.'

    Talmudic word games are lies. Are you a Jew?

    Misgendering people in Canada isn't a crime. What is
    a crime is harassing people, and the various forms of
    harassment include intentionally misgendering someone
    as part of that harassment effort. (If you actually
    read the relevant Canadian laws you would know this.)

    It's a tough job correcting people who spread misinformation (aka lies) on >>the internet; but someone has to do it.

    xkcd386

    Yup, a Canadian court ruling that you must call a woman a man isn't a
    law. It matters not what the wording of a law is if a court
    interprets to mean something else. The Court decides what the law
    actually means.

    How does your brain resolve this obvious inconsistancy?

    But it doesn't say that misgendering is de jure (look it up) an "act of intimidation".

    Yikes! That web site has a picture of Elvis Presley
    smiling amidst various symbols of communism, and is
    claiming that he's promoting communism. Do they not
    know that Elvis Presley passed away almost 47 years
    ago? (Or perhaps they bought into the conspiracy
    theory that Elvis went to Africa to live with Hitler
    where they use their wealth to have a large staff of
    black servants? Crazy!)
