EXTRACT (Peter Menzies) - If you want a preview of the sort of chaos Canada’s Online Harms Act could lead to, you need look no further than the land of my ancestors—Scotland.

Famous for expressing his profound alarm at the number of white people in charge of things in Scotland (where 95 percent of people are white), First Minister Humza Yousaf
has made himself the target of civil libertarians due to a crackdown on what he calls hate speech.
.
It is now illegal in Scotland to behave toward or communicate material to anyone in a fashion that a “reasonable person” (let me know when you find one) would agree is “threatening or abusive.” If a court finds that the statements are capable of stirring up hatred against a protected group (race, religion, orientation, age, etc.). The person convicted of saying these bad things could be sentenced to up to seven years in prison.

Free Speech is the right required to defend all our other Rights and Freedoms. In a nutshell … If Bill C-63 is passed in CANADA we are screwed. Arif Virani recently appointed 65 new Judges in Canada. You can be very certain that the large majority have close ties to the Liberals or NDP. The WOKE army for the all-out assault on your rights is being built.
.
You can anticipate an increase in abuse of process and even malicious prosecution. That has been well in progress for some time now, however Bill C-63 will open the floodgates.
