Goebbels is so confident that Canadians demanded his fascist censorship measures that he thinks that proving it with letters, e-mails or other messages would be a total waste of time:
Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault’s office has not received a single letter or email from the general public in support of internet regulation, say staff. Guilbeault had claimed broad support for first-ever controls on web content, claiming only “a minority” oppose it: “A very high proportion of Canadians are asking the government to step in.”
Let's have it, Steve.
End this debate now by proving WITH VERIFIABLE EVIDENCE that Canadians wanted a criminal like you and the unaccountable CRTC to regulate what they watch on Youtube and what they say publicly.
Everyone will wait.
In such a world it is no surprise to find that Justin Trudeau's ministry is preparing to restore "Section 13" of the Canadian Human Rights Code. The repeal of that vile law represents one of my few victories in the political realm. As the saying goes, there are no permanent victories in politics, and I would have a tougher time winning that battle today: The principled lefties (Margaret Wente) who offered support have themselves been canceled, and the queasier ones (Neil Macdonald) who objected on the grounds that all the attention was merely helping me sell even more books have been supplanted by more committed warriors who feel that, with Zuckerberg and Bezos at your back, there is no one so lofty he can't be brought low.
If people actually read books, they should be able to see where these empty platitudes now coated in the iron fist of the government are going.
