The opposition to SOPA is not limited to the right in the United States. In Canada, Blogging Tories, which aggregates dozens of right-leaning blogs, went dark in support of the SOPA protest and the National Post was the only major Canadian paper to publish an editorial on the issue, concluding:
On Wednesday, Wikipedia and a handful of other sites will shut down in protest of SOPA and PIPA. They have our full support. Governments should not be in the business of propping up outdated business models, nor of blocking legitimate speech. This draft legislation would do both.
All of this raises the question of whether the government’s approach in Bill C-11 is consistent with this trend. The overall talking points certainly are as the government talks about letting the market rule, protecting creators by targeting piracy, and giving consumers new freedoms. The devil is in the details, however.
Haha! I get it! A copy, right?
Seems to me, Obama and the left (here in Canada as well ). Want to stiffle conservative conversation. Witness the outrage from the MSM over the NCC’s ad for Bob Rae. Free speech if it’s speech about progressive ideals. Conservatives need not apply.
Censorship is always a weapon in the left’s arsenal.
