00:00:44.800 censor legal internet content should you be concerned i sure am here's the way this works
00:00:53.120 having determined what they want the liberals fund an advocacy group the group then tells the
00:00:58.080 government to do what it has already decided to do and the whole thing looks like a democratic

00:01:42.240 challenging canadian laws this was a racket if they didn't like the law they could have changed it in
00:01:47.920 parliament but the liberals chose to run it through the courts as a well-chosen judge could always be
00:01:54.080 found to advance a progressive cause a cause that would never survive a parliamentary debate
00:02:01.920 when stephen harper took office in 2006 he got rid of it right away when the liberals took power again
00:02:08.400 in 2015 it was one of the first things they put back why because conservatives just want people to have

00:03:08.880 no reason why governments cannot work to restrict certain speech this whole senate discussion arose
00:03:16.400 in the context of islamophobia and let it be said it's always wrong to discriminate against people on
00:03:21.200 the basis of their skin color or their religion however give the left a disinformation reporting system
00:03:27.840 for one thing and they'll get the government to shut down any ideas they don't like and of course
