From which this current government takes its cues:
A new report from a government-funded think tank recommends that parliament create new laws to police the internet and punish Canadians for “harmful communications.”
The report, Harms Reduction: A Six-Step Program To Protect Democratic Expression Online, recommends extensive new laters to protect against the “social harms” offensive internet speech brings.
The creator of the report was the Public Policy Forum, an Ottawa think tank that has received $2,848,329 in federal funding since 2019 according to Blacklock’s Reporter.

Canada's spy agency needs a warrant when using a secretive type of technology that could help them "learn about an individual's private activities and personal choices" as part of its foreign intelligence gathering mandate, according to a recent Federal Court decision.
Details of what exactly that technology is and how it's used were redacted in the June 2020 court ruling, which was posted online today.
The Federal Court's findings would only say it concerns technology that allows the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) to collect certain information from mobile devices.
The ruling grew out of a 2017 application for warrants to gather foreign intelligence on an undisclosed entity.
Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Clive Staples Lewis:
Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
Also in "we know what's best for you" news:
A national broadcast ombudsman yesterday cited CTV National News for inaccurate reporting on Donald Trump. The network apologized for what it called an inadvertent error, adding “there was no intent to ‘spin’ the news.”
