The loathsome little toad is at it again:
Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault’s web regulations would “make Canada’s internet one of the most censored and surveilled in the democratic world,” an advocacy group said yesterday. Open Media of Vancouver launched a petition drive to counter any reintroduction of two cabinet bills that lapsed in the last Parliament: “Our newly-elected government is cynically taking advantage of our political fatigue.”

Most Canadians consider online information reliable and are confident they can tell when it’s not, says internal polling by Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault’s department. Guilbeault has proposed “concrete action” to police news and information on the internet: “66 percent feel confident in their ability to tell if online content is fair and balanced.”
Goebbels Guilbeault does not care:
The Canadian chapter of the Internet Society has petitioned Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault’s department to drop a censorship bill so sweeping it would ban satire or jokes, impact news gathering and blacklist free speech “on social and political issues,” it said. “It cannot be justified in a free and democratic society,” said the Society whose members include a former federal judge: “This is completely wrong.”
Also:
Cabinet will fully implement a facial recognition system for 25 million Canadian passport holders within two years despite little proof of identity fraud. The program would see federal agencies compile a database of millions of Canadians’ faces: “Don’t you think it’s a bit too late to prevent the misuse of that information?”

An internet kill switch is a device/software/configuration that allows one to shut down all internet access within a region or country indefinitely. If activated, the kill switch would prevent everyone from checking social media, shopping online, using online messenger services, sending emails, or anything else involving an internet connection.
In many cases, this may also include any form of phone contact (it varies).
