Bill C-63 is bad news for free speech in Canada, and I'm here to talk about it. If this passes, the government will be able to do whatever they want with your right to free speech, and it could very well be the end of free speech.

00:00:00.000 Canadians still don't know about the carbon rebate.
00:00:03.180 What do we do?
00:00:04.060 Make them give it back.
00:00:05.060 That's a clip from a recent episode of This Hour Has 22 Minutes,
00:00:08.680 a comedy satire show paid for and on the CBC.
00:00:13.340 For a while now, I've called This Hour Has 22 Minutes state-approved comedy,
00:00:17.880 but that is just straight-up propaganda at this point.
00:00:20.900 They're actually shoehorning in liberal talking points into the sketch.
00:00:26.620 Aside from the terrible writing, they're literally just explicitly saying,
00:00:30.680 isn't it weird that Canadians aren't talking about the carbon tax rebate?
00:00:35.140 Comedy and satire is supposed to challenge the status quo, challenge those in power,
00:00:42.760 but instead the CBC, and This Hour Has 22 Minutes, is just underlining it and saying,
00:00:47.440 hey, remember the people in power said this?
00:00:50.120 Just a reminder.
00:00:51.320 You can make a whole documentary on the rich history of Canadian comedy and satire
00:00:56.000 and how right now it's really at risk.
00:00:57.980 It's really dying.
00:00:59.900 And the worst, worst, worst thing ever is happening right now in Canada.
00:01:03.440 It's the Online Harms Act or Bill C-63.
00:01:07.700 If you've heard of this, it is bad, bad news for free speech.
00:01:11.740 It's going to be the end of free speech.
00:01:13.680 If this passes, essentially the state or an anonymous person can say,
00:01:18.560 hey, that person's hateful, or I think that person is going to do something hateful.
00:01:22.280 I want to find them. 0.96
00:01:23.500 I want to throw them in jail. 0.63
00:01:24.620 Uh, I want them on house arrest. 0.61
00:01:27.000 Yes, this is real.
00:01:28.060 The Online Harms Act, Bill C-63, they're trying to dress it up and say it's going to protect
00:01:33.180 kids from cyber bullying, but no, no, no, no, no, no.
00:01:35.740 If this passes the way it is, it could very well be the end of free speech in Canada.
00:01:40.060 So because of that, I am doing daily uploads to talk about it because if you don't use free
00:01:46.000 speech, you will lose it.
00:01:49.160 Thanks for watching, we'll talk to you tomorrow.
