🚨 There are HUGE problems with Trudeau's newly proposed "Online Harms" bill 🚨

We created a platform so concerned Canadians can write their MP about their concerns. PLEASE - we need your help to STOP & FIX this flawed censorship law

Write to your MP here: theccf.ca/fix-c-63/ Here are just a few of the problems we have with this new bill:

- The Bill would create a new process for individuals and groups to complain to the Canadian Human Rights Commission that online speech directed at them is discriminatory. The tribunal could order fines of up to $50,000, and awards of up to $20,000 paid to complainants, who in some cases would be anonymous. Findings would be based on a mere “balance of probabilities” standard rather than the criminal standard of proof beyond a reasonable doubt.

Really disappointed to see the inaccuracies in this CBC story for kids. @CBCAlerts @CBCNews @cbckids @CBCKidsNews I'll point out some of the corrections you need to make in this thread

cbc.ca/kidsnews/post/… No. The @CDNConstFound and @cancivlib did not represent protesters. This is false. We were public interest litigants.

URGENT BREAKING NEWS: CCF announces legal challenge to Trudeau’s invocation of federal Emergencies Act

theccf.ca/legal-challeng…

#cdnpoli The Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) has announced it is launching a legal challenge to the federal government’s invocation of the Emergencies Act. The challenge will be by way of urgent application for judicial review at the Federal Court.

NEWS RELEASE: Tomorrow (Feb 16) the @CDNConstFound will be appearing at the @SCC_eng in a case dealing with the test for de facto expropriation.

Read about the case here: theccf.ca/de-facto-expro… @CDNConstFound @SCC_eng “The facts of the case in Annapolis are compelling and any casual observer would assume that what happened to Annapolis amounts to an expropriation. The city has used its powers to obtain the benefit of a park without paying for it." - @cvangeyn

I’ve been reviewing the fed’s interim order on proof of vaccination for flights, and as usual, there are a few interesting things and absurdities to point out.

A thread🧵 First, there is no mention of medical or other exemptions for passengers, although the Charter and human rights laws obviously require this type of accommodation.

New enforcement powers, @fordnation? Let’s walk through what this could mean. For now, police have been instructed not to stop people outside for the sole purpose of asking if they are out for an essential reason. Will this change? What will this change mean? A thread /1

#onpoli @fordnation Who will bear the brunt of increased enforcement? Will it be women in Yorkville out with a stroller? Or will it be over-policed low income and minority communities that have also borne the brunt of the virus? /2 #onpoli

Our Charter explicitly protects the right of Canadians to enter, remain in and leave Canada. Imposing these quarantine prison hotels is a clear violation of the right of Canadians to enter their own country

#cdnpoli

/1 The federal government’s plan for prison hotels is redundant when put on top of existing requirements. Forcibly confining Canadians at their own expense is an unjustified infringement on our fundamental mobility rights.
