00:00:00.000It's happening, Canada. The Liberal Party has introduced a thought crime bill, a.k.a. the Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63.
00:00:09.700Did you think Bill C-11 was bad? That now prevents Facebook and Instagram from sharing news on your newsfeed if you're a Canadian?
00:00:17.120Well, this is even worse. Let me explain.
00:00:19.760With 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.
00:00:32.300Oh, 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.
00:00:46.660You can get in trouble if people think you might say something hateful.
00:00:50.680Have 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.
00:00:59.960And everyone who, by communicating statements, willfully promotes hatred against any identifiable group is guilty.
00:01:04.660Personally, I hate the corrupt bureaucrats in Ottawa, Canada, who are in the House of Commons and work for those people.
00:01:11.180Is that, is that a hateful statement? Is that gonna get me thrown in jail?
00:01:14.260This will obviously be used by people in power to persecute political dissidents or anybody who criticizes people in the government.
00:01:22.380Historically, that's exactly how these laws are used and abused.
00:01:25.780But I didn't even get to the worst part.
