Leaders on the Frontier: Bruce Pardy and host David Leis discuss online censorship and government regulation of online platforms in relation to Bill C-63 (the Online Harms Act) and amendments to Canada’s Criminal Code and Human Rights Act. The upshot: “cancel culture on steroids”. Bruce describes the Act as an extreme example of the trend by government to leverage law as a tool “not to protect you, but manage you … and your thoughts.” Under this Act, “if you commit the crime of mischief motivated by hatred on a prohibited ground, you can be thrown in jail for life.”
