Are you gentlemen as disturbed as I am about the crackdown on free speech north of the border in Canada? I know they don't have a 1st Amendment, but they do have a Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that is supposed to govern these things. After reading about Robert Hoogland, a man who has been in jail for months for "misgendering" is own daughter, I read a little more on this Bill C-16. Seven years ago Jordan Petersen was highly critical of this law as "compelled speech," and apparently it has only gotten worse. Now Bill C-11 gives the Canadian government incredible control over Canadian content over social media and the internet. This looks, smells and stinks like government-sponsored censorship. I don't think Biden, or whoever is pulling his strings these days, has given up on the idea of a Disinformation Governance Board. I thought Western leaders were supposed to be staunch defenders of free speech and were not to be confused with closed societies like China, North Korea and Afghanistan.
