BREAKING: @pablorodriguez just announced a complete rejection of @SenateCA's #BillC11 work that excluded YOUR user content from CRTC regulation.

Your podcasts? CRTC regulated. Your TikToks? Potentially regulated. We're stunned and furious!

@theJagmeetSingh, the CRTC could soon be deciding if YOUR TikToks with music are 'Canadian'- or need to be downranked in Canada.

You can still step up NOW and fix this. The NDP's #BillC11 support must not rubber stamp a bill with this much unchecked power over our speech.
@yfblanchet, nous avons vu l'Assemblée du Québec protester contre l'ÉNORME pouvoir sur le contenu que #C11 donne à Ottawa.

Allez-vous les rejoindre ? Ou est-ce qu'Ottawa va maintenant décider qui est un authentique producteur de la culture québécoise?

Ask @JustinTrudeau Qs! Mine thread: /1
1. Where's the promised disability benefit?
2 Are females their own demographic entitled to our own words, sports, spaces and activism?
3. Should women be allowed to express dissent about gender identity ideology and censorship #billc11 Image
/2. How much funding goes to promote the idea that TQ+ "identities" are marginalized and should be tied to LGB activism and organizations, even if LGBs don't agree? How does rebranding white, affluent college students as "diversity" via blue hair and they/them pronoun demands Image
/3.
help really promote diversity in Canada. Can't we promote the acceptance of diverse men and women without paying to medicalize them and fund them as non-men and non-women? How much money goes to programs like Gegi.Ca instead of poor, disabled and indigenous Image

New by me @TrueNorthCentre

YouTubers and content creators all over social media are pledging to leave Canada should @JustinTrudeau's internet censorship legislation #BillC11 become law.

tnc.news/2022/06/23/you…
Livestreamer @RickKackis says the bill turned the lives of him and other YouTubers "upside down."

“Where do we go from here? No one knows, it’s simply terrifying."

Canadian singer and actress Hailey Reese says she won't look at Canada the same ever again should the bill pass.

At 12:17am, literally in the middle of the night, the censored Heritage committee meeting adjourned.
Shrouded in secrecy by force, dozens of amendments to #BillC11 were defeated or passed without reading them into the public record. 1/3
The NDP-Liberals, with the support of the Bloc, joined forces to override democracy and accountability in utter disregard for the Canadian people.
No debate or discussion was allowed. All b/c the Liberals didn’t want to hear more criticism of their dangerous censorship bill. 2/3
Here is a list of the ones compliant in this assault on democracy 👇

This week on my podcast, I read my @Medium column, "Big Tech Isn’t Stealing News Publishers’ Content," on how the news media's focus on charging tech firms to link to them is totally misguided, and misses the real issue: the rigging of the ad market.

Countries all over the world - France, Australia, Brazil and now Canada (#BillC11)- have fallen in love with the idea that the answer to the news media's woes is to create a new licensable copyright over "snippets" of news that users post to social media. 3/
