The far right is panicking.

Bill C-10 is meant to reduce disinformation. Not censor legitimate opinion.

It’s also aimed at broadcasters, not independent individuals.

justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/pl…
But it is funny to watch them panick.
Here is a summary of the bill. openparliament.ca/bills/43-2/C-1…

Go Libs Go!

Yeah Guilbeault!
What seems to be the problem? A recent change to include user generated content and those with the responsibility to impose restrictions on their medium, like YouTube, Twitter. It’s those entities to be regulated, to follow their own rules. And possibly fined if they don’t.
This has far right freaking out.

They’re already upset that Trump and a number of other propagandists have been banned from some social media because of incitement to violence January 6, 2021.
This bill would give the government (CRTC) leverage to demand better oversight by owners of internet mediums. Rather than provide a medium to abuse and provide disinformation free for all.

Rumble dot com anyone? The new American far right shit post haven.
That’s the big issue. That’s the panic mode indicator. Tucker Carlson, Posobiac, Levant, Stone, Bannon, and all the other agents of chaos won’t be able to post crap anymore on a Canadian medium.
🤣😂😅😆

Opportunity to escape American oversight, door slammed shut. 🚪🙅🏻‍♀️🙅🏻
Please show Minister of Canadian Hertage, MP Guilbeault some love and appreciation.
@s_guilbeault
He seriously needs the ratios to alert him and LPC that a majority of reasonable Canadians fully support regulation of the internet as proposed.

This legislation could shut down a serious amount of nonsense creating Q’Anon and other deluded and alternate reality groups.

It won’t eliminate everything. But it will encourage medium owners & operators to better oversee how their medium is used. Blatant disinformation ~ NO.

I’m on a blocking party. Grabbing a coffee and having fun sending trolls and bots to the dustbin.

Nothing like a swarm of hateful cons to demonstrate a coordinated disinformation campaign is afoot.

Told ya they’re panicking.
Along with panicked bullying to intimidate dissent and clarity, the presence of disinformation is as thick as mud.

User generated content is not being regulated. That would be an infringement of freedom.

Instead, owners of the media (the platforms) are to be held accountable.
Just like radio and television are regulated by the owners of the corporations who access their respective public utilities.

That way it’s safe to let children watch TreeHouse channel because consumers know the programming will be appropriate for the age range of viewers.

I’m happy that some readers are sifting through past threads.

This one is quite apt considering Chief Adam Allen’s revelations regarding Ft. Mac state of emergency.

I’m puzzled by the public’s reaction. Initial shock and then immediately into passive obedience.
The incremental moves towards callous disregard has caused the public to numb to the abject cruelty and negligent policy of UCP.

It’s stunning to me but predictable.

If you’ve ever wondered how Nazi’s committed the Holocaust with nary a complaint from the public, this is how.
Desensitization to violence is a process, but it isn’t difficult to create.

Shock is common when we witness uncharacteristic violence.

Violence is supposed to be rare & typically is, in a stable democracy.

Incrementalist violence is referred to as the frog in a boiling pot.

I find it interesting that most people seek simple universal ethical rules that define right and wrong.

Killing is bad. Stealing is bad. Lying is bad.

Simple. So all examples of these behaviours are wrong behaviour.
Except life isn’t simple. It’s complex. So simple universal rules don’t adequately define right and wrong.

War is sometimes required and that involves killing to protect others.

Who hasn’t rationalized copying copyrighted material without permission? It’s stealing.
And who wouldn’t lie to protect someone’s feelings. Candor is not always appropriate.

If you ever need proof Kenney and UCP don’t care about the science, observe.

Lockdowns are the only tool we have to eliminate covid.

Kenney is advocating we not try. Just “learn to live with it.”

Where have we heard that before?
nbcnews.com/politics/polit…
So who do we listen to? The physicians who tell us to lockdown?

Or the physicians who tell us to live with it?

There are over 500,000 dead people in the US that clearly make this an easy decision.

Maybe people don’t understand what’s happening?

The steep fee limits Kananaskis to those with the means to pay it.

If you look at the UCP environmental conservation plan, preservation of parks and nature is promised.
But conservation is also to be balanced with economic growth and stewardship.

Kenney used coded Dominionist Christian language to communicate his plans in his 2018 policy platform.

But unless you can interpret his coded language, it just sounds like word salad.
UCP may seem like they’re speaking to the entire public, but their communication is specifically aimed at Dominionist Christians & loyal followers of far right ideology.

Knowing this when reading the lead in reveals they claim “moral obligation” to steward the environment.

It’s curious to me that some people work so hard to convince themselves that all is well in Canadian federal and provincial politics.

There is a point that scepticism becomes delusion. We crossed that point a long time ago. No reasonable person can conclude politics is normal.
Gone are the norms for decorum and political process. Swept away by constant bloviating, obstructionism, open disrespect, disinformation and personal smears.

While politics has always been fraught with conflict, generally reality wasn’t debated or created through discourse.
Democracy is a tricky concept to define. A few believe it’s limited to free and fair voting. Voting makes up a tangible part of democracy, but overall, democracy is a belief system. So it’s abstract in nature and difficult to fit into a narrow universal definition.
