Hate speech is not narrowly defined. It is barely defined. C-9 doesn’t even need hate speech.

The proposed amendments in the Bill would create four new criminal offences: (1) an intimidation offence that prohibits conduct that is intended to provoke a state of fear in another person to impede them from accessing religious or cultural institutions and other specified places

Those of us old enough to remember the satanic panic will remember a lot of pearl clutching christians who can easily be provoked to a state of fear that would impede them from accessing religious or cultural institutions and other specified places.

Whether someone intended to provoke such pearl clutching is a matter of interpretation. And pearl clutters have a proven track record of getting interpretations in their favour - no matter how much evidence indicates otherwise.

Yep 100%

Become the conductor of the choir.

You could also call it logic.

Or empathy.

Or heck just contrarianism.

Lots of room on the anti-capitalism bus.

Sorry, this is a failure of compassion on my part. But it’s like a real life reenactment of Niemöller‘s “First they came”

They are detaining white people? NOW THEY’VE GONE TOO FAR!

This lady is a shill for Israel.

That is much more succinct.

I’m trying to work out the logic in the meme. It seems like it argues against itself somewhat.

A requires B to function

Divided C lowers difficulty of exploitation C. The two lines seems to imply the that exploiting C is required for the functioning of B.

Having something easier does not normally indicate it is a requirement. Typically tha is especially so if there are multiple ways to make something easier.

This meme seems lazy in its argument. But then I’m very very far from a logician.

Let me get this straight: So we want to entrust the institutions committing residential school denialism with the power to throw people in jail for residential school denialism?

How about we make the law shield people who punch the perpetrators of residential school denialism in the face instead.

Just basic decency, compassion, and respect are so very much lacking in most of Canada’s levels of government.

We slip further and further into petty authoritarian states ruled by government buerocrats.

My pants.

What? No. A step would be collecting data on the whereboats of CEOs , gathering information on their movements, securing arms, making contacts, etc. Jumping immediately to the murder of hundreds of thousands is far, far, far from a first step.

I’m not sure this comes even close to the most responsible course of action.

Yeah, don’t these people realize their criticism of the Paedo-in-Chief are playing right into his hands?

This reply is utter nonsense. Where the fuck is the binary?

What exactly makes you think this is the only time he has sold out Canada to the US?

When the fuck did his campaigning on ‘elbows-up’ turn into support in illegal military action in Gaza, Latin America, and Iran. Pull your head out of Carley’s arse long enough to view reality for a few minutes, and maybe you’ll see this isn’t a one-time issue with Carey’s ethics.

What’s the high score for retractions?

To see our Prime Minister support a completely illegal and unjustified war is beyond galling.

Sure, I had concerns about having a central banker for PM, but after campaigning on ‘elbows up’ I didn’t expect a hawkish toadie of the USA.
