while i recognize that this is probably just bait for a culture war, and that legislation of this type is unlikely to pass parliamentary scrutiny in a state that treasures free speech as much as canada, this remains a dangerous line of thinking that the current ruling party is on the wrong side of history on. it is adamantly not the government's role to protect it's citizens from online speech, and any suggestion that it is should be relentlessly savaged by anything that dares to call itself a free press.

this kind of backwardsness has absolutely no place in the canadian legal or political discourse.
