In this episode of the Crusty Connect Podcast, I discuss the creeping creep of government censorship in Canada and how it affects freedom of speech and the freedom of the press. I read an article from Spencer Fernando and The Western Standard on the matter.
00:00:00.000Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. It is a beautiful 20th of July 2021. Coming up in this episode of the Crusty Connect podcast, episode 143, the lurking agenda of government censorship, protecting us from reality or protecting their feelings, plus other honorable mentions from some stupid, stupid Canadians out there. All that and more coming up with the show. Please stick around and listener and viewer discretion is advised. Stay tuned.
00:00:48.660From Western Canada, this is the Crusty Connect podcast, a Canadian veteran's point of view on political, social, economic issues and life.
00:01:09.140Mama always said I had a face for radio.
00:01:13.400That's right, ladies and gentlemen, the Crusty Connect podcast, episode 143, the lurking agendas.
00:01:19.000Yes, our federal government once again is pondering more censorship issues.
00:01:23.660Based on some articles I will read to you directly from Spencer Fernando and the Western Standard online, there are still lots of people out there that would like to make censorship a factual thing in this country.
00:01:35.620Yes, you know, from Stephen Gobert, Mr. Heritage Minister, to other members of the said party, to Dustin Trudeau and to an RCMP official.
00:01:44.660Now, after all the crap that has been going on in recent months in this country in regards to finding some truth and reconciliation to residential schooling and to finding people that are getting censored by big tech and other companies.
00:01:58.940And our friends in the States, i.e. Joe Biden, and of course, his press secretary, Ms. Saki, talking about how big tech should take more responsibility and harnessing the problematic effects of people posting stuff online.
00:02:13.280Okay. Before I carry on, ladies and gentlemen, if you'd like and hear what you see, by all means, click, click, click, like, and subscribe and all that good stuff.

00:02:29.920Anyway, carrying on, we've got more information in regards to censorship.
00:02:35.660And I'll read a little article that came from Spencer Fernando, a Canadian independent journalist, quite brilliant.
00:02:40.640I've seen his interviews a few times, and I'll leave a link in the description for you guys to follow along there.

00:15:20.860It will be myself, Elle, Sophia Rossetti, Adam Danny-Mizze, and Fred Stockman, and other guests, too, once they decide to come on and join the show.
00:15:28.880Basically, it's just a political panel.
00:16:22.820Anyway, carrying on, more of this censorship garbage and more of this political conundrum that we're facing today.
00:16:29.840It's amazing how the minority government is scrambling and trying to get brownie points, meanwhile, trying to stick it up our nostrils.

00:16:50.480Anyway, carrying on to a story that came out of the Western Standard.
00:16:57.160Now, I'll leave a link in the description for you, too.
00:17:01.040Western Standard, it's a pay-as-you-go website, but it's a media outlet from out here in Alberta.
00:17:08.640Anyway, this came in today, actually, about two hours ago.
00:17:12.240So I just printed it off there, and like I said, I'll leave the link in the description for you guys to follow and read along there, too, if you want to.
00:17:18.540From the Western Standard, on recent news, the RCMP-applauds censorship bill will help in prosecutions.
00:17:26.760Quote-unquote, it may not seem like a massive development in terms of dealing with the scope of everything that's been talked about,
00:17:34.880but it will equip a law enforcement to see more things through to charges in this country.
00:17:40.100And this comes, this is a quote from the RCMP Corporal Anthony Statham.
00:17:44.800All righty, so I'll read along here, you know.
00:17:49.300An internet censorship bill would be useful in prosecuting bloggers and Facebook subscribers,
00:21:37.580You know, so, Bill, C-36 would define hatred as the emotion that involves detestation or vilification and that is stronger than dislike or disdain.
00:21:48.700The amendment will lead to more charges, said statement.
00:21:51.000Well, if somebody hates the situation and they say it in public, would that be deemed offensive too?
00:22:24.760An amendment to this section of the code, I believe, will have a positive effect as far as our ability to do something about online hate when something needs to be done.
00:22:34.640The Bill C-36 would make it a discriminatory practice to communicate or cause to be communicated hate speech by means of the internet and other means of telecommunications in a context which the hate speech is likely to foment the station or vilification of an individual group or individuals on the basis of prohibited ground of discrimination.
00:22:55.520Internet users suspected of vilification would be subject to house arrest on reasonable grounds, quote, unquote, on reasonable grounds.
00:23:15.060So you can say something insulting, but then somebody in that little group might be offended and threaten hate speech against you, and then all of a sudden you're under house arrest.
00:23:29.960The Department of Justice, as in a June 23rd background or document, said the measures would apply to public communications by individual users on the internet, including on social media, on personal websites, and in mass emails, blog posts, online news sites.
00:23:46.580Operators of websites that primarily publish their own content, and user comment sections.
00:23:53.640So basically, they're going to decide what you put online.
00:23:56.380Because what I got out of that article, ladies and gentlemen, what I received out of this article was they have no idea what they're talking about, but they're just going to do their best and try to filter out all the bad words that people see every day.
00:24:07.980Now, I, for one, I'm against bullying.
00:24:12.360I'm against, you know, people being cruel or mean and whatever, too.
00:24:15.800But in my history with the Krusty Connect podcast, I have never said anything spiteful towards anyone's gender, anyone's color, anyone's identity.
00:24:33.200Now, I'm not condemning anybody out there that's transitioning or who has transitioned, and there's a couple of people that can back me up on that.
00:25:32.280Gives you something to think about now, doesn't it?
00:25:33.640So after reading that article, and here's a corporal in the RCMP, so let's assume this individual has been part of the Mounted Police for the better part of 10 to 15 years, or maybe more, okay?
00:25:45.480Individuals like that are going to dictate terms to you and me, okay?
00:25:57.620And I'm a firm believer that if someone types anti-Semitic things or anti-Christian things or anti-Muslim things or racial things, whatever, fine.
00:26:06.660A person should be prosecuted to a certain degree.
00:26:11.300But freedom of expression is, as far as I'm concerned, is the same as free speech, okay?
00:26:18.620And it's the same as free speech, the exact same thing.
00:26:21.240You are allowed to express yourself freely, opinion on religion, on anything, right?
00:26:26.780Would it suit the powers that be better if I did it through interpretive dance, perhaps?
00:27:05.580We still have to sit in our hands and wait for Mr. Overlords to tell us how to do, how to poo, how to think, right?
00:27:12.380It gives you something to think about, right?
00:27:13.900And it keeps lingering, it keeps lurking, it keeps, you get its little heads around the corner, taking its little look at you, thinking, oh, okay.
00:27:24.740Now we'll get you here, we'll get you there, because it's all about control, okay?
00:27:28.280Look at the government spending that this government has promoted.
00:27:32.400Look at the divisions that these governments have promoted the past six years, okay?
00:27:37.620Now, I don't like Stephen Gilbert, I don't like Justin Trudeau, I don't like Christopher Freeland, I don't like Catherine McKenna, I think they're all full of crap.
00:27:48.360Honestly, I don't wish any physical harm on them, I would love to see them humiliated.
00:28:46.820Anyway, ladies and gentlemen, too, please check out my shop at customizedgirl.com forward slash S forward slash Krusty Canuck.

00:32:03.680What I care about is that people can live freely in a democratic state without worrying about any kind of persecution or prosecution for words.
00:32:14.740Now, if some stupid redneck twanker wants to sit there and point fingers at people who happen to be black or happen to be brown or represent this group or that group, and he or she wants to say ridiculous and heinous things, fine.
00:32:29.100Then find a person for doing that, whatever, for being that kind of belligerent and being that bigoted.
00:32:37.440But for what you and I do here online, to the viewer, to the consumer, to the other bloggers, to other podcasters, and presenters and citizen journalists alike, we still got to keep fighting a good fight.
00:34:37.960Every authoritative figure in your life that has told you about this beer bug is more or less trying to tell you that, okay, 98% of Canadians don't poop their pants, but we're going to give you a diaper anyway just in case.
00:34:51.420That's the way I look at this whole thing, okay?
00:34:55.080That's the way I look at this whole freaking monstrosity of a policy, of safety, and of governance, okay?
00:35:02.480And regardless of where you sit on the fence, ladies and gentlemen, I don't care if you're NDP, I don't care if you're liberal, I don't care if you're conservative, I don't care if you're a bloc, I don't care if you're independent, I don't care if you don't vote, whatever, okay?
00:35:12.960We were lied to, we were lied to, okay?
00:35:19.100Now, with the stuff I just mentioned, okay, those two news reports that I just mentioned that came from independent journalists, nothing mainstream, because it's funny the mainstream doesn't talk about it because they're so worried about Anna-Marie Paul or Anna Mae Paul, you know, being ousted by the Green Party.
00:35:35.160You know, she gets elected by the Green Party, represent the Green Party, now the Green Party wants to oust her because of this, because of that, and I did an episode on her too, how she pulled the race card out every time someone questioned her ability.
00:35:47.920Maybe she's not a nice person to work for, or not a nice person to work with, right?
00:35:52.960Then again, maybe the Green Party just can't decide whether it's coming or going, because I look at Green Party policies as borderline communists as far as I'm concerned.
00:36:00.400You know, any political party that keeps telling Canadians what to do with their money and where to spend it, to me, has no respect.
00:36:16.580Pay a flat tax and just carry on about your business to promote proper fairness and proper equality, regardless of color or creed or gender or spectrum or how you identify, okay?
00:36:33.500We've allowed these morons to call the shots.
00:36:37.080So, if a fourth wave comes up, knocking on our door, more policy regulations get up, more mass signs go up, more social distance signs go up, I think it's time to tear them down and stand high for what's right.
00:36:52.720Now, Corporal Statham, is that hateful for me to say?
00:37:02.520Am I undermining democracy when I want people to choose for themselves, when I encourage people to think for themselves, to buy what they want, to sleep with who they want, as long as they're not hitting people, taking their stuff?
00:37:37.040And I say again, please, if you like and hear what you see, please click like, subscribe, and share this around and comment to all of your social media platforms.
00:37:45.660Uh, if anyone's out there, uh, who wants to get in touch with me, you can.

00:41:01.900To find light in this manufactured darkness and, uh, give a little extra, if you can, to people, i.e. effort, time, maybe a few bucks here and there, but, uh, do what you can to each other out.
