Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s new Online Harms Act will allow judges to give life sentences to those who commit speech crimes on social media, as critics slam it as “Orwellian” and an “overreach”. The Mail has more.
The Handmaid’s Tale author Margaret Atwood said the bill was “Lettres de Cachet all over again”, referring to royal diktat for imprisoning citizens made by former Kings of France.
“The possibilities for revenge false accusations and thoughtcrime stuff are sooo inviting!” Atwood warned on X, formerly Twitter. “Trudeau’s Orwellian online harms bill.”
The proposed law, introduced last month by the Liberal Government, gives judges the power to imprison adults for life if they advocate genocide online, up from the previous maximum penalty of five years in prison.
The bill also increases the maximum term in prison from two years to five years for the willful promotion of hatred online.
It also allows a provincial judge to impose house arrest and a fine if there were reasonable grounds to believe a defendant “will commit” an offence.
Conservative writer Stephen Moore called the law “the most shocking of all the totalitarian, illiberal and anti-Enlightenment pieces of legislation that have been introduced in the Western world in decades”.
Justice Minister Arif Virani, who introduced the bill, said, as a father, he was “terrified of the dangers that lurk on the internet for our children”.
He argued that laws exist regulating the safety of toys his kids play with, but not the “screen that is in our children’s faces”.
Sadly, popular opinion backs the censorious legislation, with nearly 70% of Canadians supporting it according to the National Post, despite only 41% saying they believe it will actually make the internet safer for children.

Not a bad article and it is relatively easily summarised.
A number of wholly spurious “world” organisations have decided to take over the running of our world, organisations such as the WHO and the World Bank. These outfits are peopled largely by nefarious persons who have largely surrendered any allegiances they might have had to their mother countries and now draw incomes from the taxes paid by the people of the world.
Nominally these “world” organisations are funded by grants from national governments and “donations” from wealthy donors such as Bill and Melinda Gates. However, as we all know, governments don’t have any money except that which they filch off their citizens via taxation and the large “donors” make their money from dubious products.
Bill Gates, increasingly tied to the world chemistry industry profits from the sale of dangerous drugs which are invariably paid for by national governments on behalf of their citizens via, yep – taxes. The other large donors, the Big Pharma companies similarly generate their incomes from selling a huge and increasingly dangerous product range in to the nation’s of the world where they receive generous promotion from governments.
The “world” organisations, peopled by wholly unelected and faceless bureaucrats spend their time promoting and dreaming up useless health programmes designed solely to cream a huge and increasing revenue fund from governments, which will so impoverish nation states as to ensure that the population’s of said nation states will be in a consistent state of ill health.
In order to maintain the illusion of care the “world” organisations have bought up all the Main Stream Media outlets who have been given the job of stoking a constant fear of ill health across the world and which can only be assuaged by constant use of the Big Pharma products which will be constantly tinkered with in order to deal with an increasingly poorly world population.
Nation states will be ground out of existence except where they perform a window-dressing function until we arrive at a de facto one world government where effectively ‘we own nothing but are happy.’
As I have commented previously, pandemics are a once in 500 years event and not a once or twice a decade occurrence. Unfortunately, the author of the article appears to swallow the lie that the world must constantly live on tenterhooks for the next “pandemic.” This has to be immediately and firmly put to bed.
In short, unless nation states reassert their sovereignty the end result will be a severely diminished world population, as a result of the uptake of each successive wonder drug, working solely to provide wealth for the elites of Big Pharma and the self-proclaimed “world” organisations.
This is coming at us like a WWII Blitzkrieg and our chances of escape are looking increasingly French like.
The picture isn’t pretty.
I wonder, is it true that people will be able to receive these drugs through the exhalations of other people (among other horrors)? Is there to be no escape?
How would the elites police that?
They can’t. Two ways of mitigation for them.
1) Prophylaxis as detailed above in my reply to Hugh
2) Spike protein least effects anyone with a K26R ACE2 receptor. The spike has been designed to not or only attach with difficulty to the ACE2 receptors of this cohort. The families who are leading all of this have this K26R receptor.
The puppets don’t & they will be discarded once they have served their usefulness.
The toxic spike protein is a racially specific bioweapon designed to kill off the majority of the European population, which is spread throughout Europe, US, Australia, Canada, New Zealand. Asian, African, South American genotypes are also effected but to a lesser degree.
The Military medic who passed on this information stated that interestingly the Finns are one European population who are likely to be less effected. Think back to the 1930s ideal of the perfect Aryan & you have an indication of how far back this has been planned.
Hugh, shedding of the toxic spike protein is already happening. This is all planned. There is no respect for bodily sovereignty.
This is why so many enlightened medics are advocating a prophylaxis of VitD3+K2, Vit C, zinc, a zinc ionophere ie quercetin & ivermectin or black seed oil with N-acetylcysteine thrown in to help with mitrochondrial repair & to degrade any graphene oxide which has made it into your system.
The thinking in these circles is that the bioweapon was seeded in the 2019 flu jabs to then get the bioweapon injection into as many arms as possible through fear. The data hidden in the Pfizer document dump warns against skin to skin contact if pregnant or planning a pregnancy for about 1 month after injection. Why??
We’re at war with these hidden & not so hidden actors who are pushing for a One World Government, the bioweapons for which have long been in the planning.
Thanks for the summary, HP. A bleak outlook indeed. I can’t think of an obvious answer to the increasing madness. I’m not too worried about myself, I’m fairly resilient in myself but I am worried for the youth of today.
I am terrified for the youth.
“Increased surveillance” would expand the market for the proponents, but at the expense of diverting worthwhile resources for normal people, perhaps. Appropriately elected politicians, and the associated governments, need to remember who they are supposed to serve, not the other way round, and put global organisations back in their place.
“Public health”
Has been turned into an oxymoron
I think we’d be better off without it
Going for a walk in the fresh air and sunshine is one of the healthiest things you can do, especially if you take a dog which ensures that you get to chat to other dog owners you meet.
Public health guidelines in Spring 2020 recommended minimising that activity.
Every single NPI introduced under Covid1984 measures was intended to seriously undermine public health.
Every Single One.
I agree with you.
Every single one was experimental as a medical intervention, therefore every single one was unlawful if one consented to not participate in a medical experiment.
Spot on. I have come to know quite a few people via their dogs; they are naturally sociable animals.
Public health is an oxymoron (the Latin contradictio in adiecto describes this even better). Health is necessarily always a property of individuals, at least insofar the kind of health supposed to be maintained with the help of the health system is concerned.
Bill Gates still thinks that viruses can be eliminated by the application of money, c.f. the early viruses that affected his software and the ‘patches’ that were provided. He is so far up his own anus that he cannot tell the differences between humans and machines. His sycophantic operatives were Farrer and Fauci.
Simple answer is to not get involved with anything he funds.
Great quote by Dr Mike Yeadon regarding Covid
‘’I tried to follow the science, but it was simply not there – I then followed the money, that’s where I found the science.’’ Dr Mike Yeadon
That’s a great remark hadn’t heard it before. Thank God for people like Mike Yeadon.
Seconded
Message to the WEF : Don’t worry the people will do it for you.
I recall that some time time back, possibly around about when the development of the first Covid 19 Vaccines were announced, Bojo claimed that the UK would become a world leading vaccine manufacturer (or something of that nature). The MHRA has now evolved from a regulator to an ‘enabler’ for the Pharmaceutical Industry and recently was the first to authorise the new bivalent vaccine. It seems that the UK may well have a prebooked first class ticket on the PPR gravy train?
The City of London is the Banker for the World…. It is at the centre of all of this.
Trying to be optimistic, whilst I have very little trust in Truss, she will be challenged to be even worse than Bunter.
By similar thought process, other than following Pol Pot’s process, it will be challenging to devise a worse approach to public health and wellbeing, than the ludicrous and frankly evil policies of the last two and a half years.
For a start, WEF, World Bank, WHO, Bill and Melinda, CEIF and all the rest should accurately be described as terrorist organisations and banned.
The likes of Whitty, Vallance, Ferguson, Michie, Hunt and Farrar should be arrested and charged for the crimes they committed.
I’m not holding my breath. But anything much less will fail to stop the rot
It seems to me we need to reconstitute a new very competently scientific based government advisory body to replace the majority of clowns in the SAGE committe that contributed to so much damage over Covid. They should have top knowledge and experience in the field they are advising on with members aware of all aspects of the effects of advice they give.They should use not only their own resources but be able to properly investigate alternative advice and be inteligent enough to establish a correct and balanced view of the advice they give. Something that was missing from the last shambles. To output responsibility to external groups like WHO or the new entities being setup to control what governments can do should not be in control of what our government can do, as they all will have bias in one form or another particularly from those who are financing them.
SAGE was the acting government of England and the supposedly elected government just a bit of traditional red tape sometimes stopping it from directly issueing orders to the civil service (optimistic perspective). And the known figureheads were just the tip of the fatberg. In principle, everybody with the right academic titles willing to support its general policy was entitled to contribute to its ‘advice’. This model of government can’t be fixed. It has to be abolished forever.
Those that stated that the whole covid reaction by governments, including throwing out the existing pandemic response plans and the one solution of Vax only while outlawing early treatments, were all painted as conspiracy theory nuts! So Bill Gates traveling the world before the lockdowns, getting private meetings with Prime Ministers was entirely innocent! These are very powerful and well funded entities that see a huge cash cow in rich countries treasuries. Need a cash flow? Create a virus! They certainly have the ability. Our elected hapless politicians are no match for these organizations. The “Deep State” is alive and well and getting larger by the minute.
