00:00:00.000 It's happening, Canada. The Liberal Party has introduced a thought crime bill, a.k.a. the Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63.
00:00:09.700 Did you think Bill C-11 was bad? That now prevents Facebook and Instagram from sharing news on your newsfeed if you're a Canadian?
00:00:17.120 Well, this is even worse. Let me explain.
00:00:19.760 With this so-called Online Harms Act, the Canadian government will now have the power to fine you, put you on house arrest, or throw you in jail if you say something that is hateful.
00:00:32.300 Oh, not only that, you can get charged if someone presents information that leads people to believe on reasonable grounds that you might, that you might, maybe, will say something hateful in the future, i.e. thought crime.
00:00:46.660 You can get in trouble if people think you might say something hateful.
00:00:50.680 Have the receipts right here. Everyone who, by communicating statements in any public space, incites hatred against any identifiable group where such incitement is likely to lead to a breach of the peace.
00:00:59.960 And everyone who, by communicating statements, willfully promotes hatred against any identifiable group is guilty.
00:01:04.660 Personally, I hate the corrupt bureaucrats in Ottawa, Canada, who are in the House of Commons and work for those people.
00:01:11.180 Is that, is that a hateful statement? Is that gonna get me thrown in jail?
00:01:14.260 This will obviously be used by people in power to persecute political dissidents or anybody who criticizes people in the government.
00:01:22.380 Historically, that's exactly how these laws are used and abused.
00:01:25.780 But I didn't even get to the worst part.
00:01:27.620 This part of the bill that reads,
00:01:29.220 Fear of hate propaganda, offense, or hate crime.
00:01:31.420 A person may, with the Attorney General's consent, lay an information before a provincial court judge
00:01:36.640 if the person fears, on reasonable grounds, that another person will commit.
00:01:41.720 Those two things that I just said before.
00:01:43.140 This bill is not just about preventing the hate of an identifiable group or communicating such.
00:01:47.880 It's, no, no, no, if we think, if we think that you might commit a hate crime by hating a group of people
00:01:55.480 or implying that you hate a group of people, then we can also charge you, put you on house arrest, potentially throw you in jail.
00:02:02.060 That's what's in this bill.
00:02:03.520 The Online Harms Act.
00:02:04.920 And it's very, very concerning, Canada, because very few people are talking about the thought crime aspect of this bill.
00:02:11.620 No, they're actually believing the lie being told by the Liberal Party, which is, this is going to protect children online.
00:02:18.720 We have rigorous safety standards for things like my son's Lego at home.
00:02:23.380 It's somehow none for the most dangerous toy, not just in my home, but every Canadian home.
00:02:28.880 The screen that is in front of our children's faces.
00:02:31.460 There is so many layers of bullshit in this bill that people need to realize.
00:02:35.580 First of all, how do you qualify hate?
00:02:37.540 What the qualifies hate?
00:02:38.720 They're expanding the definition of hate speech, by the way, which means if you vilify someone or detest someone.
00:02:45.940 Personally, I think Trudeau is a villain.
00:02:48.380 I think he is detestable.
00:02:50.180 This would qualify, technically, as a hate crime.
00:02:53.740 Me just saying that would qualify as a hate crime now in Canada if this bill passes.
00:02:59.780 And you think when people say, oh, F white people, white people suck, you know, Christians suck, conservatives suck.
00:03:06.860 They are, you know, they're horrible bigots, racists.
00:03:10.180 Do you think that is vilifying somebody and basically encouraging people to detest conservatives?
00:03:16.420 Do you think that's going to be enforced by the bill?
00:03:18.660 Of course not.
00:03:20.060 Of course not.
00:03:20.900 Of course they're not going to enforce this equally.
00:03:23.420 There is so much BS to sift through with this bill, but we need to get started and share this video to get people talking about it.
00:03:29.880 We need way more people coming into the fray here to help out because I don't think the Conservative Party of Canada
00:03:36.360 and Pierre Polyev is going to come out very strongly against this bill.
00:03:39.880 They've actually voiced some sympathy for aspects of the bill, which is very concerning because it would be,
00:03:45.640 it would be the end of freedom of speech in Canada.
00:03:49.180 You think political correctness and wokeness is bad now in Canada?
00:03:52.940 This bill would essentially state mandate it.
00:03:55.100 It would enforce it.
00:03:56.200 If you have the wrong opinion, you can get fined.
00:03:59.020 Not even by a police officer.
00:04:00.280 Just somebody, some weird woke freak could come and charge you for a thought crime.
00:04:06.220 It would create the worst kind of culture imaginable of tattletales and losers.
00:04:14.140 And it would create this kind of culture of Canada of like, oh, I don't want to say anything inappropriate.
00:04:18.260 It would literally like enforce that by law.
00:04:20.900 It would be a nightmare.
00:04:22.280 It would be a nightmare.
