To judge by the actions of the government he leads, Justin Trudeau is now entering the Kim Jong Un phase of megalomania, such that it will surely soon be illegal in Canada to speak of our Supreme Leader except in terms of the highest flattery acknowledging his divinity. In the meantime, driven apparently by a sense of unlimited power and authority, his government is now intent on the criminalization of emotion: specirfically, the emotion of hate.
As for penalties, we're not talking a slap on the wrist. If this, let us not call it hateful legislation, so, um, insane legislation, the Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63, is enacted, the penalties for the willul promotion of hate will be two to five years imprisonment.
So yes, under this legislation Canadians will live in fear. Think carefully before calling for "Death to Hamas," be aware that saying "fuck off" may be an imprisonable offense, and be sure that saying "Fuck Trudeau" surely is an imprisonable offense. And will it be illegal to speak hatefully of rats, rapists, warmongers or thieves? Will it be considered criminally hateful to say that Justin Trudeau is an insane dictator wannabee? A megalomaniac? An idiot?
