  1. The bigger question of course is whether our ermine bedecked judicial potted plants will hear the challenges that will surely come.
    Or is taking time out of your busy schedules reserved only for the purveyors of child porn.
    Y’know…those rulings that affect all Canadians.

  2. Interesting video. Not being familiar with your legislative process, I brought up one of the bills he mentioned. Bill C216, according to the video “mandates mandatory ID checks on line so they know where to send the thought police.”

    I’m sure that’s part of the bill. But, that’s only a fraction of the overreach associated with that bill, and the way I interpret the wording, it directly effects SmallDeadAnimals.

    The legislation is disguised as something to protect minor children, but there are a number of “Trojan Horses” included. For example, this would become a criminal offense: ” (a) prohibit the publication of the image of a person created or edited through the use of computer software that falsely represents the person, in a manner that is intended to make the image appear authentic.” In other words, no more Memes.

    Or this: Safety settings
    5 (1) Every operator must provide any parent of a user whom the operator knows or should reasonably know is a child, as well as that user, with clear and readily accessible safety settings on its platform, including settings to
    (a) control the ability of other individuals to communicate with the child;
    (c) reduce features that increase, encourage or extend the use of the platform by the child, including automatic displaying of content, rewards for time spent on the platform, notifications and other features that could result in addictive use of the platform by the child;
    (d) control personalized recommendation systems, including the right to
    (i) opt out of such systems, while still allowing content to be displayed in chronological order, with the latest published content displayed first, and
    (ii) limit types or categories of recommendations from such systems;

    In other words, a site owner is obligated to tailor the format to allow people to opt out of content. I don’t know if minors visit this site. I’d hope there are some kids in Canada who have a healthy interest in their Country’s activities. That’s not just the main thread, but the chat portion as well. The list of requirements is mind blowing in length. And, this is just one of the five (5) bills under consideration. There is even a section that requires the social media provider to do age checks and develop and algorithm to assure that no content unsafe to minors (which I might add isn’t defined) can be displayed.

    And in case you’re wondering what “social media service” refers to… (3.‍003) In subparagraph (3.‍002)‍(b)‍(ii), social media service means a website or application that is accessible in Canada, the primary purpose of which is to facilitate interprovincial or international online communication among users of the website or application by enabling them to access and share content.

    Yeah, that’s this place and others like this place. It’s ridiculous over reach disguised as “protecting the children” …and I only mentioned a tiny fraction of the bill above. Any one of these requirements overlooked can result in criminal charges. And, don’t think your political adversaries aren’t above setting you up for a fall creatively.

    This is scary stuff. Real scary.

  3. In my youth, I talked relentlessly about how much I loved the US…hated “stupid socialist Canada”…and couldn’t wait to leave or, in the alternative, wake up one morning to see the M1 Abrams coming up over the horizon to vanquish this land of freedom-lukewarm idiots.

    About 22 years ago, I met two entrepreneurs: one Canadian and one American – both of whom owned businesses on both sides of the border. They set me straight with words that I utterly rejected and (at the time) hated them for:

    “All bad ‘Canadian’ ideas you’ve ever heard of – from stifling taxation programs to medicare to gun control to speech control – originated in the US. It always starts at the state level…usually in either California, New York, or Oregon. Then, some Canadian wannabe hippie (hippies also being an American invention) snatches up the idea and makes it national in Canada. Thus creating the illusion that the ideas are Canadian. But all anti-freedom ideas in the English-speaking world are born in the USA. You can look it up.”

    I spent years trying desperately to prove them wrong. And, in all that time, all I can say is that the medicare part is debatable. Americans were first for income tax, first for gun control (search sawed-off shotguns), first for “hate speech” and “hate” crimes in general, first in mandating gender pronoun use (Oregon and New York – two years before anyone ever heard of Jordan Peterson), first in human rights tribunals (New Mexico, 1968/69). First to mandate what kind of door-handle businesses may use (Americans with Disabilities Act), etc…etc.

    Now this gentleman, while making 100% percent accurate points about Canada’s slide, inadvertently points out the same evolution by calling Bill C-2 “a Canadian Patriot Act.” He meant to (justifiably) slag Canada for its craziness under the Liberals…but accidentally pointed out that America invented the same suppressive laws more than 24 years earlier.

    My old mentors were of the mind that, in the English speaking world, would-be tyrants were naturally hesitant to try their repressive laws…until they saw that Americans were willing to accept them first.

    1. Good points, B-man.
      Even though they initially spawned many of those idea, at least in the States a significant swath of the population (and politics) know that they are in an ideological war, and are fighting back.
      Here in Canada, when draconian laws are introduced with “nice” sounding names, the vast majority of the population just shrugs and says, “It sounds warm and fuzzy.”
      The media, academia, and courts are full on board. And my, how most of the population loves it so! No conflict, just go along.

    2. Ayn Rand referred to Canada as a nation of “second-handers” which dove tails with your comment.

  4. The Canadian electorate are a real pig stupid bunch. They’re killing themselves and smiling while doing it. Disgusting.

  5. This list of Canadian bills about to be unleashed on us has been tossed around X/Twitter for a few weeks, when I read though I start to think it’s all a bit much, but we’ll see shortly if Canada’s parliament ever returns to work.
    Perhaps with Marx Carnage visiting his mentor in The People’s Republic of China, there may be some late additions.
    I didn’t save a link to whoever posted it.

    “Bills attacking due process and court rights.
    Bill S-206 — Administrative Monetary Penalties (the central pillar) enables penalties without hearings, judges, trials, or common-law protections.
    Bill C-63 — Online Harms Act. Undefined “harm,” digital speech penalties, CRTC enforcement authority.
    Bill C-27 — Digital Charter Act. Creates federal AI regulators empowered to issue compliance orders without court oversight.
    Bill C-52 — Beneficial Ownership Transparency. Expands federal surveillance and administrative enforcement.

    Bills attacking parliamentary supremacy (power shift to agencies).
    Bill C-26 — Critical Cyber Systems Act. Sweeping regulation by order-in-council, bypassing Parliament.
    Bill C-11 — Online Streaming Act. Gives the CRTC unprecedented control over content curation and digital reach.
    Bill C-18 — Online News Act. Allows federal regulators to determine access to, and compensation for, digital journalism.

    Bills attacking property rights.
    Bill C-234 — Agricultural Fuel Restrictions. Expands federal control over farm operations and production.
    Bill S-241 — Jane Goodall Act. Sweeping biosafety authority over wildlife, land, and private property.
    Bill C-49 — Atlantic Accord Amendments. Expands federal control over offshore land, climate restrictions, and energy development.

    Bills attacking freedom of speech and assembly
    Bill C-63 — Online Harms Act. Criminalizes undefined “harm,” empowers bureaucrats to judge speech.
    Bill C-261 — Misleading Communications Act. Penalties for “misleading” speech — undefined and discretionary.
    Bill C-70 — Foreign Interference Act. Mass surveillance powers with vague thresholds.

    Bill attacking religion freedom.
    Bill C-9 — “Harmful Conduct” Redefinition. Allows the state to regulate spiritual beliefs and pastoral work under “harm.”

    The critical pattern. Different bills, different sectors and different rights being attacked. But here is the truth: Every single one of these bills depends on ONE central enforcement pillar, and that pillar is:
    Bill S-206 — The Administrative Penalty Switch

    Bill S-206, the hub of the entire system, gives federal departments the power to issue penalties without:
    ▪︎ a hearing
    ▪︎ a judge
    ▪︎ a trial
    ▪︎ due process
    ▪︎ common-law protections
    ▪︎ judicial review in practice

    It turns federal agencies into their own courts — investigator, prosecutor, judge, and enforcer. No democracy on Earth should tolerate this.

    This is the enforcement engine behind:
    ▪︎ Digital ID
    ▪︎ CBDCs
    ▪︎ Carbon allowances
    ▪︎ Biosafety / One Health rules
    ▪︎ Smart-meter penalties
    ▪︎ Travel scoring
    ▪︎ Online speech controls
    ▪︎ Zoning & land-use mandates

    Data alone cannot control a population. They need the power to punish. S-206 provides it. Remove the keystone → the arch collapses.

    Why scatter us with other bills? Because if Canadians focus on S-206, the agenda dies The distraction bills serve one purpose:
    ▪︎ to scatter attention and exhaust the public.
    ▪︎ to keep citizens debating side issues
    ▪︎ to hide the enforcement bill under noise
    ▪︎ to make resistance impossible to organize
    ▪︎ to create outrage fatigue
    This is how large control systems are built — through distraction around the edges while the core is slipped into place.

    What are they building – and why S-206 is the core. Here is the architecture of the planned digital-governance system:
    ▪︎ Digital ID → who you are
    ▪︎ CBDCs → what you buy
    ▪︎ Carbon scoring → how you move & heat your home”

    1. “One ring to rule them all, one ring to find them, one ring to bring them all, and in the darkness bind them.”

  6. Heh,more ever more repressive rules,regulations and law..
    Once you acknowledge the obvious,we will not be voting our way out from under the Parasitic Overload, then all these new “laws” no longer matter.

    Our government made their position clear,with Dread Covid Theatre and the declaration of “A State of Emergency”.
    Know them all for what they are.
    Thieves and Thugs.
    If you can still pretend that Canadians have Rights,Freedoms and “Good Government” after these actions..you might be a Liberal.
    And if you refuse your consent to those who seek to rule over us?
    You are “an enemy of the State”.

    Many of these idiotic over reaching attempts to hold power,are very revealing.
    Lawfare,naked use of the process, to punish citizens.
    Censorship,we the serial liars of record,will tell you what truth is.
    “Respect muh authority”.

    We will see more declarations ,more claims of “Its an emergency” by the minions..
    For people with delusions of adequacy will always blame external sources for their personal failure.

    Can Ahh Duh is doomed.
    Bill C 45 ,from the Harper days,made being an employer a criminal risk..
    Liberal Tory same old story.
    Only a bureaucrat could be so “wise”.
    Command Economy Madness has destroyed productivity.
    Welfare “investments” just iced the corpse.

    The truckers protest revealed the idiocy of all our elected and appointed “elites”,while proving that Canadians will support real political opposition,when it arises.

    I believe the upcoming referendum in Alberta is going to reveal far more people have already abandoned Can Ahh Duh,than “polls” might claim.
    A State that takes 50% of the return on your labour while insisting you get no say..
    Corrupt Institutes ,the very best in governance.
    40% of eligible voters who don’t.
    We have so many laws,regulations and rules..that we effectively have none.

    So what if these fools and bandits pass more?
    We are long past the obedience phase.
    Weak men have created hard times.
    We can either leave them to their misery,self inflicted misery..
    Or we can suffer through their stealing and virtue signalling..
    Kleptocracy..Ain’t it grand?

    1. … “We have so many laws,regulations and rules..that we effectively have none.”

      Precisely, the Liberal Party of Canada is so fearful of the people,
      it requires every citizen (including themselves) to be a criminal-in-waiting.

      They’ve lost control, they know it,
      and doubling down is like carrying water with their hands.

      Scare the citizens? it’s their last gasp;
      Fear of Government! is the only antidote to their fear the people.
