00:00:00.000 Canada, we actually have some good news today.
00:00:02.740 You know the Online Harms Act, this censorship bill they're trying to pass, Bill C-63?
00:00:08.200 Well, Justin Trudeau's Liberal Party is struggling so bad to get traction on this bill
00:00:12.680 that they've actually split it in two.
00:00:15.800 No, no, not like that, although that's exactly what they should do.
00:00:19.500 Justice Minister Arif Farhani came out yesterday and said,
00:00:22.580 no, no, no, we're actually going to split this bill into two different sections.
00:00:26.000 Part A of the Online Harms Act will protect kids online and Part B of the Online Harms Act will stop hate.
00:00:33.460 So you were lying then.
00:00:35.240 What do I mean?
00:00:35.940 Well, the whole premise of the Online Harms Act was we're going to protect kids online.
00:00:41.140 And a lot of people said, including me, said,
00:00:43.280 hey, there's a lot of stuff on hate speech in here that has nothing to do with protecting kids online.
00:00:48.980 And he said, no, it's not, no, it's not.
00:00:51.340 This bill is going to protect kids online.
00:00:52.900 And now he's saying, okay, you know what?
00:00:56.260 To be honest, actually, half of that bill had nothing to do with protecting kids online.
00:01:01.860 I lied.
00:01:02.760 No, but this half, this half, no, seriously, you've got to trust me this time.
00:01:06.720 This half, seriously, seriously, has to do with protecting kids online.
00:01:10.460 Trust me, bro.
00:01:11.300 And the lie detector test determined that was a lie as well.
00:01:14.580 This part of the bill that would protect kids online would create a digital safety commission
00:01:19.700 of unelected bureaucrats where they can decide what to censor, what is harmful,
00:01:25.740 and then challenge big tech to remove it, or big tech will get fined millions of dollars.
00:01:31.280 And what is the harmful content listed in the bill?
00:01:33.800 Well, the top two actually have to do with sexual content in kids, fair enough.
00:01:38.180 But look at all the other content that would be censored or removed from the internet by the Digital Safety Committee.
00:01:44.660 Content that induces a child to harm themselves.
00:01:47.480 Okay, Arif, so what do we do with the Netflix show 13 Reasons Why,
00:01:50.920 which many argue romanticized unaliving yourself to children?
00:01:54.700 Are you going to censor this Netflix show as harmful content?
00:01:57.560 And while we're on the topic of unaliving ourselves, what about made, Arif?
00:02:01.980 What about the fact that the federal government encourages people to unalive themselves now
00:02:07.860 through this medical assistance and dying?
00:02:10.380 Is your content going to be taken down as harmful for encouraging kids to do this and normalizing it?
00:02:15.660 And it gets even worse, folks.
00:02:16.880 Content used to bully a child or content that foments hatred.
00:02:21.540 Unelected bureaucrats in Ottawa are going to determine what content bullies a child on the internet.
00:02:28.240 Surely Canadians can realize why giving the government this amount of power
00:02:32.280 to censor content that bullies a child or foments hatred on the internet is a terrible idea.
00:02:38.280 And for those wondering, fomenting hatred has a very low threshold.
00:02:43.220 Detestation.
00:02:43.840 Any content that expresses detestation on the internet could be removed.
00:02:47.900 And for those who don't know, the definition of detestation is intense dislike.
00:02:52.300 So if you post something on the internet where you intensely dislike something,
00:02:56.320 you could be censored by unelected bureaucrats in Ottawa.
00:02:59.780 So no, Arif, this side of the bill, once again, is not about protecting kids online.
00:03:05.060 It is about giving you and your cronies an insane amount of control and power over the Canadian internet.
00:03:11.020 I think I speak on behalf of most Canadians when I say,
00:03:13.500 Arif, fuck off with this bill, okay?
00:03:16.860 We don't want it.
00:03:18.120 We will find other methods to protect kids online,
00:03:21.160 maybe through educating them on how to navigate the internet,
00:03:24.040 instead of saying that the government is going to babysit every child online.
00:03:29.840 I don't think so.
