New Governor, Same As The Old Governor

Lifesite explains;

A new Canadian bill introduced by the Liberal government of Prime Minister Mark Carney has raised privacy concerns as it appears that, should it become law, it would give officials the power to ban anyone deemed a dissident from accessing the internet.

Bill C-8, which is now in its second reading in the House of Commons, was introduced in June by Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree and has a provision in which the federal government could stop “any specified person” from accessing the internet.

All that would be needed is the O.K. from Minister of Industry Mélanie Joly for an individual to be denied internet service.

The bill is titled “An Act respecting cyber security, amending the Telecommunications Act and making consequential amendments to other Acts,” and it contains a clause that mandates all internet providers to pull internet services from anyone whom the government demands.

The bill would allow the industry minister to “prohibit a telecommunications service provider from providing any service to any specified person,” all without a warrant. The only recourse a banned person would have is after the order is given. They would have to get a federal court to look at the ban order for a judicial review.

Sincere Praise for Based Canadian Women

If you look at voting patterns in Canada and America, you’ll see that women, especially young single women, typically vote in disastrous ways that clearly harm society. But we must never forget that there are great women in our midst. Kate, the founder of SDA, is certainly one. Another amazing woman, who rose to prominence in recent years, is Tamara Lich. SDA regular commenter ‘Marc from Calgary’ pointed out this recent post from her about why she refuses to apologize for her role in the Freedom Convoy.

The Canadian establishment hate both Tamara & Kate because they refuse to buckle under to the Current Narrative™. Both of these honourable women should receive the Order of Canada IMO.

Bravo, Lawrence Greenspon!

The Propaganda arm of the Lieberal Party of Canada – aka CBC News – clearly is not happy about this:

Breaking News: The Sentences for Chris Barber and Tamara Lich Have Been Announced

Chris Barber

Tamara Lich

Lest anyone forget, this is a reminder of how they, and others in the Freedom Convoy, freed Canadians from oppression.

Update: Following up on the comment from ‘Stan’, Grok was asked this: “Regarding the convictions of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, compare their trials and sentences to leftwing protesters who have openly and violently broken laws in Canada.” The response was stunning. Here are some highlights:

In comparison, left-wing protesters in Canada involved in violent or disruptive actions—such as anti-pipeline blockades (often tied to environmental and Indigenous rights causes) or Black Lives Matter (BLM) demonstrations against racism and police violence—have typically faced shorter trials and lighter sentences for similar or more destructive offenses. These cases often involve civil disobedience escalating to property damage, blockades, or clashes with police, but convictions emphasize non-violent intent or police misconduct, leading to minimal incarceration.

Overall, Lich and Barber’s cases drew unusually aggressive prosecution (e.g., multi-year sentences sought) despite no violence, contrasting with lighter outcomes for left-wing actions involving property destruction or direct confrontations. This disparity has fueled debates on selective enforcement, though courts in both contexts prioritize deterrence while considering protest motivations.

The Revolution Will Be Streamed

I’ve been traveling a lot recently and somewhat out of touch with the news. While driving today, I was playing a bunch of shows from Podcast of the Lotus Eaters and listened to this episode. I had heard a little bit about the Generation Z revolution in Nepal, but had no idea that Harry Jackson, an English traveler/vlogger had captured much of it live. The videos he captured are unreal. If you only want to watch one, let it be this one. A story about all of this can be read here.

Update: More context on what helped start this revolution.

Good Riddance

One down, one to go.

“For more than 20 years under their ownership, Ben & Jerry’s stood up and spoke out in support of peace, justice and human rights, not as abstract concepts, but in relation to real events happening in our world,” he wrote. “That independence existed in no small part because of the unique merger agreement Ben and I negotiated with Unilever, one that enshrined our social mission and values in the company’s governance structure in perpetuity. It’s profoundly disappointing to come to the conclusion that that independence, the very basis of our sale to Unilever, is gone.”

Hate Speech?

Pam Bondi is probably going to have to walk this statement back. The First Amendment actually protects hate speech, provided that no threat of physical violence was made against a specific individual.  We already have laws against criminal threats, so there’s no need to conflate that with hate speech. You might not like someone’s advocacy of political violence or even assassination, but as long as no identifiable individual was mentioned, you can’t be prosecuted for it. At least not in the United States. And we’re all well aware of what happens in other nations when hate speech becomes a criminal offense all on its own.

“Hate speech that crosses the line into threats of violence is NOT protected by the First Amendment,” Bondi wrote. “It’s a crime. For far too long, we’ve watched the radical left normalize threats, call for assassinations, and cheer on political violence. That era is over.”

Another less than encouraging comment from Bondi, this time over a business that did not want to print some posters for a vigil held to honor Charlie Kirk.

“Businesses cannot discriminate. If you wanna go in and print posters with Charlie’s pictures on them for a vigil, you have to let them do that. We can prosecute you for that,” Bondi said during a Monday appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity.”

 

Discord, Call Your Lawyer

New, via Data Republican:

Armed Queers SLC is under investigation for possible foreknowledge of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.

Their leader, Ermiya Fanaeian, was recognized by a State Dept–affiliated NGO, Utah Global Diplomacy, as a recipient of the “7 for 17” Award for advancing the UN’s 17 Goals

Utah Global Diplomacy has since scrubbed Fanaeian’s presence from their website. Unknown when this purge happened. The receipts remain.
