The Liberal government has introduced a bill it says will protect Canadians from online hate speech. It would amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to reinstate an amended version of a controversial section that was repealed in 2013 amid widespread criticism that it violated freedom of speech rights.

OTTAWA -- The Liberal government has introduced a bill it says will protect Canadians from online hate speech.

It would more narrowly define hatred to mean "the emotion that involves detestation or vilification" that is "stronger than dislike or disdain." The bill would allow individuals or groups to file hate speech complaints with the Canadian Human Rights Commission, which would be empowered to order perpetrators to cease communications or, in some cases, to pay monetary compensation and penalties.

The government says the bill will be complemented by a regulatory framework to tackle harmful content online and, in the coming weeks, it will engage Canadians on a discussion paper that will outline the proposal for holding social media platforms accountable for hateful content online.

So the more we fucking swear and curse at how wonderful JustinTrudeau and his government is doing for this country is considered hate now? Well there goes our free speech in telling our 'wonderful' government to go to hell! How about not voting Liberal in the next election.

But the CCC already covers that?

What will the government consider 'hate speech' Negative comments directed at the government could be considered 'hate speech'

I think Trudeau speed hate every day. He should be cancelled. Who’s with me?

Left = 🤡

Welcome to socialism

The pursuit of happiness does not involve an overreaching, tyrannical government telling you how to live.

fascism a political philosophy, movement, or regime that exalts nation and often race above the individual and that stands for a centralized autocratic government headed by a dictatorial leader, severe economic and social regimentation, and forcible suppression of opposition 1/2

Lisa 'Breaking News ' Laflamme should cover this but only once she finishes with the Britney Spears story. Then back to ignoring the Trudeau Liberals defying Parliament and hiding the truth on the Winnipeg high-security virology lab firings.

Will this be part of C10? Justin wanting to control the message online? He's doing it by paying the media isn't he?

Free speech is our most important liberty. We can read the hateful idiots online and be saddened or offended, but we should not circumscribe their stupidity.

Who defines hate speech?

Will strongly-dislike speach still be legal?

It has NOTHING to do with hate speech but all to do with SILENCING and CONTROLLING citizens. I'm 50yo and I've ALWAYS voted liberal but I will NEVER vote liberal again. Had enough of it freedoms taken from us this last year. Time to find a new party to support

Freedom is dead

And freedom of speech in Canada is now gone.

👍

Does that include saying factual things?

'Hate speech' = anything these far-left doesn't agree with. Liberals, NDP & Green = fascism.

First up: Anti-Liberal Hatred

Is criticizing a sitting PM going to be hate speech now? :) Because, heck, damaging a statute of his dad is considered a 'hate crime' :)

Silence for the crook

❄️ Rules rules rules laws laws laws. This government is communist Canada.

I love hate speech...must be a liberal or Democrat!

We have weapons that can wipe out continents. And we are worried that words hurt? WTF.

'Goebbels was in favor of free speech for views he liked. So was Stalin. If you’re really in favor of free speech, then you’re in favor of freedom of speech for precisely the views you despise. Otherwise, you’re not in favor of free speech.'-Noam Chomsky

'combat hatespeech' You mean censorship! How are 'Liberals' turning into dictators? Between this and BillC10, maybe this party does need to go

'Hey, guys! Here's a new idea for a law. We can talk about it when we come back in a few months.' It's almost like he's not being serious.

Government: we will protect our citizens from hate speech Patriots: WAHHHHH ITS OUR RIGHT TO PROMOTE HATE SPEECH

Hey, JustinTrudeau, if I tell it like it is and call you a douchebag who couldn't lead a stray dog out of the garden, much less a country like Canada, is that hate speech? I'm asking because I sure as hell hate you. cdnpoli

Liberals to introduce new hate speech bill, possibly bringing back controversial Section 13Consultation included questions about reintroducing a form of a hate speech law — Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act — that was widely criticized over… I don’t like HATE speech but I don’t like this bill. How about you spend time actually putting away violent criminals, helping aboriginal people move forward, shape a Canadian culture, etc, instead of focusing on something that won’t change bigots. LibertarianCDN On the bright side, this would be probably ban Critical Race Theory due to its dehumanizing and pre-genocidal language, right?

MPs scramble to pass priority bills before summer but they could stall in SenateThe House of Commons is poised to break today for the summer -- and possibly for an election -- after giving eleventh-hour approval to what the minority Liberal government considers its priority legislation. Let's not blame the Senate for being slow. The MPs all know the timetable it's up to them to get their legislation ready in time. Let us pray that they do. Go senate go have never been as important. Canadian’s freedoms are under attack by liberals Ndp and bloc.

Conservative MPs caved on conversion therapy bill, but they’ve likely already accomplished their missionThanks to a stalled vote, the Liberal legislation is unlikely to pass before Parliament’s summer break So, is Jason Kenney's bedtime routine now illegal? Hypocrisy will bite them in their crotches! A party game played on the backs the weakest. The idea that affirmation, surgery and hardcore drug treatments isn't it's own form of conversion therapy is just silly.
