Doubt. If we’re talking large platforms content regulation, then we’re talking. But I doubt that.
The fuck is Juno News? Looks like a fake news site for comservatives
Yeah, title sound editorialized af. From what I’ve read, none of the bill sounds alarming to me.
It further amends the Canadian Human Rights Act to let Canadians file complaints over online hate speech, which will be defined, in line with Supreme Court rulings, as expression amounting to “detestation or vilification,” but not speech that merely offends
The bill also raises maximum Criminal Code penalties for hate propaganda, increasing the sentence for advocating genocide to life imprisonment
Those two part are worrying. What if the law considet my opposition to zionism as hate propaganda and call for genocide when many consider antizionism to be the same as antisremitism. I wouldn’t want life empirsonment even for gaza genocide apologism
Nah, imo laws like that are why we don’t have Alex Jones and Tucker Carlson in Canada. Life in prison is probably the maximum and will probably only be used in extreme cases probably for repeat offenders clearly advocating for genocide.
Imo genocide apologism is very different from actually promoting one.

Just look how those law as was wrongly used in the UK. Those laws are generally very vague that it can be abused

Canada do not even recognize the genocide in palestine and sudan so who is this adressed to? Is it only for people promoting genocide in ukraine because they are our ally?
I don’t really see how it is difference like someone saying Palestinians voted for Hamas so they are responsible for what happened to them (the genocide) that sound like a promotion of the idea to me that israel is forced to do genocide
Considering Canada double standard, i am afraid it will be applied to one side only. Canada for example did nothing when their was occupied land sales in synagogues
Its not about recognizing existing genocides, it’s about promoting genocide. For example, Trump and Netanyahu’s plan of taking over Gaza and turning it into a resort is promotion of genocide. Or calling for the elimination of people based on a protected attribute is promotion of genocide.
Which Israel is doing and many Zionists inside Canada but they didn’t even punish people selling occupied lands in synagogues. Isn’t keeping stealing lands in the west bank not promotion of genocide?
They even consider being antizionism as a call for genocide under the pretext that it would mean to support the expulsion of Israeli from Israel which normal Palestinians supporters would not advocate for it
I am not saying that things I said will happen but there is definitely real worries about laws
But anti zionism is calling for genocide too. What do you think would happen to Israelis if the Israeli state ceased to exist? Especially if Hamas still exists. I don’t believe in collective punishment, and anti-zionism sounds pretty collective punishmenty to me.
