Official Lies

One can a Liberal is lying because his mouth is open:

CRTC censors must mandate corrections to “errors of fact” in newspaper and online news articles, says the National Council of Canadian Muslims. Members of the Senate transport and communications committee expressed alarm over the proposal: “Are you actually calling for regulation of the free print media?”

 

And what would these "errors of fact" be, special-interest group that benefits from censorship bills?

The Liberal government is keen to tackle the problem of disinformation, but that will not include regulating the use of sources, Labour Minister Seamus O’Regan said Wednesday.

He said the government will not move on a policy resolution approved at the federal Liberal party convention May 6. The resolution could venture into regulating journalistic practices, which O’Regan said is a non-starter.

“We would never allow that to become law,” O’Regan said.

“Not on my watch.”

The resolution speaks to the rise of disinformation, particularly online, and the problems that has created for trust in government and media.

It specifically calls for fighting the rise of disinformation through efforts that include holding “online information services” accountable for what they publish and barring the use of sources that cannot be traced.

O’Regan said while the policy doesn’t directly address media sources, there could be ramifications for them and therefore for freedom of the press.

 

According to the Liberals, Michael Chong was never in any danger.

So there's that.
