Quebec Is "Special"

As one can plainly see:

A national regulator yesterday cited a Montréal TV station for broadcasting pornography to 13-year olds. The National Broadcast Standards Council said while Québecers have different viewing habits than the rest of the country, depicting sex acts as suitable viewing for Grade Six students went too far: “A Francophone market might tolerate more explicit sexual content than would an Anglophone market.”

 

I'll just leave these right here: 

All members of the Quebec Solidaire and Parti Quebecois who support Quebec’s independence voted in favor of the bill which would grant regulatory power to the CRTC, a federal regulatory body. 

The motion in-favor of the controversial Bill C-10 was tabled by Catherine Dorion, an MNA for Quebec Solidaire, the province’s far-left party.

The motion asked the National Assembly to recognize “that Quebec’s cultural production and its specificity are threatened by the lack of regulation of large online content platforms such as Netflix or Spotify”.

The Liberal government’s long-promised online harms bill would create a new regulator called the Digital Safety Commissioner of Canada in charge of ensuring online platforms remove illegal content within 24 hours of being flagged.

Dr. Michael Geist, law professor at the University of Ottawa where he holds the Canada Research Chair in Internet Law, recently commented on the Trudeau government’s censorship bills:

“As government moves to create the Great Canadian Internet Firewall, net neutrality is out and mandated internet blocking is in.”

 

(Sidebar: like this China.)

 

Also - there is only "transparency":

If anything, the poll — which surveyed 1,519 Canadians online between July 23 and 25 — shows that respondents hold divided (if not sometimes contradictory) views on the state of free speech in Canada and what should be done to address it.

For example, nearly half of all respondents (45 per cent) say that speech is more restrictive today that it was between five and 10 years ago. But a nearly equal part (38 per cent) believes the opposite, arguing that speech is even freer now than it was within the past decade.

The data also show that many Canadians are concerned about the future of free speech in the country, with 40 per cent saying they suspect it will be harder to speak freely on controversial topics within the next decade.

 

And:

Quebec will implement a vaccine passport system in September in an effort to tamp down the threat of a fourth wave, becoming only the second province, after Manitoba, to restrict some activities to fully inoculated residents.

 

Even if one were to implement such a thing and Quebeckers would naturally take to it, that wouldn't stop the Chinese-spread flu as viruses mutate and spread, Canadian airports are flooded with infected people everyday and forcing people, even those in the public sector, will only create a discontented class angered that the simple act of going out to buy milk may be treated as revolutionary.

Good luck with that.
