(Natural News) The world’s democracies are quickly devolving into throwbacks of authoritarian regimes as citizens of those countries, pampered by the good life and cowed into inaction by fear, allow their liberties to be taken from them one at a time.
Canada, which is known the world over for its embrace of near-pure democracy, is leading the race to the bottom, so to speak, as a new legislative proposal to criminalize certain speech as “hateful” and which carries a fine of as much as $40,000, edges closer to passage.
PJ Media reported in recent days:
…Canada’s Liberal Party, headed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, proposed new legislation to criminalize “hate speech” online, punishable by a CA$50,000 fine (roughly $40,000), paid to the government. Government officials, including the attorney general and the minister of public safety, announced the new bill [days ago].
[The AG] introduced amendments to Canada’s Criminal Code, the Canadian Human Rights Act, and the Youth Criminal Justice Act. Lametti and his allies justified their Orwellian move by claiming that “hate speech” online can turn into “offline hate.”
“Canadians expect their government to take action against hate speech and hate crimes. These legislative changes would improve the remedies available to victims of hate speech and hate crimes, and would hold individuals accountable. The actions we are taking today will help protect the vulnerable, empower those who are victimized and hold individuals to account for the hatred they spread online,” David Lametti, minister of justice and attorney general, said in a statement.
