From the Most Corrupt Government Ever Re-Elected

It's called censorship:

Attorney General David Lametti says his department seeks “legal remedies” for unregulated content on the internet. Lametti’s department in a private discussion paper sent to advocacy groups complained of the “double-edged nature of the internet”.

Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault is taking an increasingly aggressive posture toward digital tech firm Facebook in its use of online news content, as his office prepares policy changes to address concerns among publishers and broadcasters.

In an interview with National Post on Friday, Guilbeault said he would continue to push back against what he calls “bullying attitudes” displayed by Facebook as part of a rift with the Australia government, which some observers say could spill over into Canada in coming months.

Australian officials have proposed new regulations that would compel Facebook, Google and other U.S. tech giants to pay news outlets for the content shared on their platforms. Facebook has pushed back against the regulatory change, and earlier this month threatened to bar Australian users from sharing news on their platform in retaliation.

Guilbeault has repeatedly signalled his desire to introduce similar rules in Canada, and says Facebook will need to get comfortable with what he believes is an eventual international policy shift on the issue.

 

It's a shakedown from corrupt social media giants and mini-fascists like Guilbeault.

 

 

Parliament should restart on September 23, but there is no plan in place, The Canadian Press reports. Trudeau's government wants a limited number of the 338 MPs to return to Ottawa, with the majority taking part online, potentially via Zoom or other virtual methods.

 

I wonder why:

When asked whether or not Trudeau took any responsibility for WE closing, Trudeau said:

"We moved very quickly to try and support young people with a range of different measures. What we tried to do with the Canada Student grant was encourage young people to volunteer in communities across this country, as they were, and give them recognition for that. In order to do that, we moved rapidly with a partner that we felt was able to actually deliver it ... The way it ended up working out was really unfortunate for everyone involved."

Easy scripted questions and reports on his hair (which he will lose) are more Justin's speed.
