Trudeau's Insane Online Harms Censorship Bill · Radio Baloney - The Richie Baloney Show!

  Well, I hope every Canadian is ready to desperately scramble to erase everything that
• 0:07
  they've ever put on the Internet, because well, I'll just read you the
• 0:11
  headline here. Trudeau's Internet Online Harms Act would provide retroactive punishment for not deleting
• 0:19
  hate speech, whatever that's going to be. So let me set the scene
• 0:23
  for you. Some random person who will forever remain anonymous, you'll never know
• 0:28
  who they are. We'll be able to pour through your Twitter feed, say,
• 0:33
  and find something from ten years ago, which was perfectly acceptable back then,
• 0:37
  but far left lunatics have now decided is hate speech. Well, next
• 0:41
  thing you know, you're spending thousands of dollars to defend yourself in a human
• 0:45
  rights tribunal, which is a leftist kangaroo court in Canada, a parallel legal
• 0:51
  system where you do not have presumption of innocence by the way, and at
• 0:55
  the end of it, you might have to pay up to seventy thousand dollars
• 0:58
  in fines. And if they think that you might do another hate again some
• 1:03
  point in the future, well then you can also get a year of house
• 1:06
  arrest, amongst other restrictions. That's right, because some anonymous person complain to
• 1:11
  the Canadian Stazi about you says here. On Monday, the Trudeau Liberals unveiled
• 1:17
  the Online Harms Act, a bill that Justice Minister A Referrani claimed would make
• 1:22
  the Internet a safer place for all, especially children. Parts of the Act,
• 1:26
  however, have been criticized, namely those dealing with what the government has
• 1:30
  deemed to be hate speech. If passed, the bill would amend the Canadian
• 1:36
  Human Rights Act to find someone spreading hate speech is liable so long as the
• 1:42
  speech is not deleted, which some have interpreted to mean that the government wants
• 1:47
  to retroactively come after people for potentially violative content they've posted in the past.
• 1:53
  Let's look at this tweet from ezra Levant responding to this tweet, Here's a
• 1:57
  question, will the retroactive punishments using new hate speech legislation like when they passed
• 2:05
  the EA the Emergencies Act and made it illegal to donate to what had previously
• 2:09
  been a legal protest. Ezra Levant wrote yes. The Online Harms Act specifically
• 2:15
  states that if there is an offensive publication that is still online and you have
• 2:21
  the ability to delete it, you are liable for it. Literally everything and
• 2:25
  everything you've ever written online will now be actionable against you. And let's go
• 2:30
  to the bill. A person communicates or causes to be communicated hate speech so
• 2:36
  long as the hate speech remains public, and the person can remove or block
• 2:40
  access to it. So if you've posted something online and you don't remove it,
• 2:46
  and somebody decides to pour through years of your posts and they find something,
• 2:51
  well, guess what you're in trouble. Jordan Peterson said, excellent,
• 2:54
  retroactive crime. Thanks Justin Trudeau. That's an evil I hadn't considered. Sincerely,
• 3:00
  Satan. The bill also quote authorizes the Canadian Human Rights Commission to deal
• 3:07
  with complaints alleging that discriminatory practice, and authorizes the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to
• 3:15
  inquire into such complaints and order remedies. And this isn't a normal court of
• 3:20
  law, this is a human rights tribunal. And there's no guilty beyond a
• 3:23
  reasonable doubt or anything like that. This goes off the preponderance of evidence model,
• 3:28
  which just means the judge could just say, oh, yeah, I
• 3:30
  don't like you. And again you don't even have the right to confront your
• 3:35
  accuser. Those found who have violated the Act can be ordered to cease the
• 3:38
  discriminatory practice, pay any victim identified in the communication up to twenty thousand dollars,
• 3:46
  or pay receiver general a fine of up to fifty thousand dollars. And
• 3:51
  I've got a feeling you're gonna end up paying the twenty and the fifty together.
• 3:54
  So again, twenty thousand dollars for an anonymous complainant who has to do
• 4:00
  nothing. It's all free for them. The government will take care of it
• 4:02
  for them. But then another fine of up to fifty thousand dollars for the
• 4:06
  government. These are perverse incentives. So what it comes down to is if
• 4:11
  you criticize anything that anybody from a protected group in Canada says, or just
• 4:17
  generally say anything negative about, say mass immigration or radical gender theory, or
• 4:25
  just anything that's offensive to far left orthodoxy, there's certainly the possibility that you'll
• 4:30
  end up getting hauled into a human rights tribunal, a far left kangaroo court.
• 4:35
  Now, what this is really about is crushing descent, because all institutions
• 4:42
  in Canada are far left at this point, all of them. So this
• 4:44
  will be used by activists. I believe it's designed to be used by activists
• 4:49
  to punish those who dissent online and to go after independent media. And keep
• 4:55
  in mind this applies to every tweet, every video you've ever put out.
• 5:00
  This isn't going to be a one time thing. They're going to keep coming
• 5:03
  after you. There's going to be armies of people pouring through social media accounts
• 5:09
  looking for something that they know a human rights tribunal will think is hate.
• 5:14
  This is Trudeau trying to create an army of activists that will do his work
• 5:18
  of censorship for him by intimidating any Canadian from saying anything that anybody might find
• 5:25
  offensive. Sorry, not anyone that a leftist might find offensive that Trudeau might
• 5:30
  find politically inconvenient for him. And why wouldn't people do this? I mean,
• 5:35
  it's anonymous, it's free, The government does all the work for them,
• 5:41
  and there's no downside, there's no accountability. This will just be the
• 5:44
  end of social media in Canada. It'll be the end of free speech and
• 5:47
  the end of independent journalism. Oh in the punishments of eight percent of global
• 5:53
  gross revenue for the social media companies themselves if they fall a foul of the
• 5:57
  Human Rights Commission, I think you're going to infect all the social media companies
• 6:01
  just pulling out of Canada entirely. Probably ultimately, that's what Trudeau really wants,
• 6:09
  a few media sources that he controls and nothing else. Anyway. That's
• 6:14
  all I gotta say about that. Please like, share, and subscribe.
• 6:16
  Sharing really helps me out. I thank you for that. I will see
• 6:19
  you next time.
