What the #Canada Government’s Online Harms Secrecy Debacle Says About Its Internet Regulation Plans. michaelgeist.ca/2022/04/not-an… #cdnpoli #Trudeau
"'What We Heard' report from @pablorodriguez
significantly understated the extent of the public criticism and feedback. Recommendations omitted, criticisms softened. Having now seen the actual submissions, I feel misled" #Trudeau #cdnpoli #BillC10
#Canada's #BillC10 "is part of a larger Internet regulation plan:
Bill C-11 opens the door to regulating user generated content
Bill C-18 mandates payments for links

Online harms wasn’t an outlier. It reflects plan for regulating the Internet." #cdnpoli #Trudeau
In docs obtained by Ottawa U prof Michael Geist through Access to Information, we can find that not only #Trudeau hid public criticism of his internet regulation bill C10, but also a very critical letter from Twitter comparing the bill to regulations in china, North Korea & Iran
#Trudeau wants to monitor your twitter account.

Here is the letter sent by Twitter to the Trudeau gov on Internet regulation.

michaelgeist.ca/wp-content/upl… #BillC10 #cdnpoli
"Bill C-11, currently before Parliament, seeks to regulate the podcasts or audiobooks you listen to, the streaming services you use... under the guise of promoting Canadian content. Yet it would also give the CRTC... sweeping power over what you watch, listen to, or read online"
"While paying lip service to freedom expression as guaranteed in the Charter, the Liberals (and the NDP) have shown a tendency towards Orwell’s Big Brother." #Trudeau #cdnpoli #JagmeetSingh
There is a clear recent tendency, worldwide, from self-professed liberals, toward authoritarianism. Liberals have grown intolerant of criticism. Their way of responding is to resort to imposing their ideas through legislation once they are in power, without public consultation.

In support of #Russia's mil operation in #Ukraine, the Sichuan bureau chief of the People's Daily writes: "#Putin's military action against Ukraine is a containment of Ukraine's anti-Russianism, a counterattack against #NATO's eastward expansion, and a challenge to #US hegemony."
The author also defends closer #Russia-#China cooperation: "back-to-back strategic partnership between China and Russia...has become an important cornerstone of China's national security and diplomatic strategy..." mp.weixin.qq.com/s/7lj9-0_dc6Hp… h/t @ArtyomLukin
This argument, from #China, in support of Russia's military operation in #Ukraine, is encompassing and addresses the war at many levels, including the moral level. #Russia

#Biden, April 21, the day #Russia declared #Mariupol liberated: “There is no evidence yet that Mariupol has completely fallen”
#BorisJohnson, April 22, from India:"#Putin "is very close to securing a land bridge in Mariupol now...We just have to be realistic about that.”#Ukraine
"During his recent visit to #Ukraine, #Johnson had reportedly advised Pres Vladimir #Zelensky to make a retreat from and form a new defence line but Zelensky had no option but to follow American advice." indianpunchline.com/us-narrative-w…
"For President #Biden, of course, there is good enough reason why the war should continue as a forever war. The war rallies Europe behind the #US’ weakening transatlantic leadership."

Have People Been Given the Wrong Vaccine? brownstone.org/articles/have-… By @MartinKulldorff
"Randomized controlled trials show all-cause mortality reduction from the Covid adenovirus-vector vaccines (RR=0.37, 95%CI: 0.19-0.70) but not from the mRNA vaccines (RR=1.03, 95%CI 0.63-1.71)"
I suspected this all along: Whose lives the mRNA vaccines were saving? #Pfizer and #Moderna's RCTs included largely young and middle aged adults unlikely to die from Covid.

"The #Sarmat is a direct response to the...American "missile defence shield" based both on ships & on land (mainly in Poland & Romania). Its entire design is aimed at defeating the American interception capability and thus restoring Russia to parity in nuclear deterrence"
#Sarmat can carry several bombs at the same time destined for different locations, MIRVs (Multiple Independently targetable Reentry Vehicle) in technical terms...

"#Ukraine's army was undermined by the corruption of its cadres...in the March/April 2014 recall of reservists, 70 percent did not show up for the first session, 80 percent for the second, 90 percent for the third, and 95 percent for the fourth."

"In Oct/Nov 2017, 70% of conscripts did not show up for the recall campaign. This is not counting suicides & desertions (often over to the autonomists)...Young Ukrainians refused to fight in the Donbass & preferred emigration, which explains...partially the demographic deficit"
"The Ukrainian Ministry of Def turned to #NATO to help make its armed forces more 'attractive.' I was asked by NATO to participate in a program to restore the image of the Ukrainian armed forces. But this is a long-term process and the Ukrainians wanted to move quickly." #Ukraine

"For reasons to do with history and strategy, #India will not abandon #Russia." orfonline.org/research/the-d…
"The deep Indian strategic empathy toward #Russia is rooted in #India’s post-colonial heritage, a strong and understandable anti-Western sentiment that is largely the consequence of British colonial rule."
"Indian public discourse on the Ukrainian crisis today reveals a rare consensus in a country where the polity is sharply divided on most issues...and there have been few protests within #India of any significance in support of #Ukraine."
