Technocrats In Canada Moving To Eliminate Free Speech

Technocrats In Canada Moving To Eliminate Free Speech

The U.S. is  following Canada’s lead in eliminating Free Speech altogether. Technocrats cannot tolerate criticism of their pseudo-scientific narrative that pushes the world toward outright Technocracy. They gladly use the politicians into supporting them. — Technocracy News & Trends Editor Patrick Wood

Another doozy from the Canadian government.

Following along several other bills winding their way along the Road to Serfdom…

  • Bill C-11 regulates the internet under the CRTC and paves the way toward institutionalized content moderation, the requirement for licenses to publish online, and regulation of user generated content (in Senate)
  • Bill C-36 the Online Harms Bill sought to designate political dissent as “hate speech” and invoked penalties for criticizing politicians (not sure where this one is at the moment).
  • Bill C-18 throws a funding lifeline to Canada’s flailing agitprop industry (a.k.a the mainsteam media), in that it will require tech platforms to pay licensing fees for content the media outlets post there (passed third reading in November). This bill will reward big media conglomerates like Bell, while freezing out small and independent organizations.

Here comes another one, Bill C-26: An Act respecting cyber security, amending the Telecommunications Act and making consequential amendments to other Acts, which passed first reading last June.

It’s been largely flying under everybody’s radar so far. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has been actively raising awareness and Michael Geist had Brenda McPhail, their Director of the Privacy, Technology and Surveillance Program on his podcast last October.

We mentioned C-26 in AxisOfEasy #273 citing Gowling WLG’s coverage of it by Brent Arnold (Brent Arnold sits on the Internet Society Canada Chapter board, as do I, but I am writing this post from my role as easyDNS CEO, and not ISCC.)

The Government Hereby Grants Itself The Following Powers:

The new bill is ostensibly a cyber-security and critical-infrastructure bill, but it is riddled with nebulous, open-ended terms, Kafka-esque secrecy provisions, onerous penalties and conspicuously absent of any semblance due process:

It effectively subjects Canada’s telecom and internet sectors to the whim of unelected bureaucrats and political functionaries.

Am I being bombastic? You tell me: given that the legislation that grants them the power to order a telecommunications service provider “to do or stop doing anything”

“Part 1 amends the Telecommunications Act to add the promotion of the security of the Canadian telecommunications system as an objective of the Canadian telecommunications policy and to authorize the Governor in Council and the Minister of Industry to direct telecommunications service providers to do anything, or refrain from doing anything, that is necessary to secure the Canadian telecommunications system. It also establishes an administrative monetary penalty scheme to promote compliance with orders and regulations made by the Governor in Council and the Minister of Industry to secure the Canadian telecommunications system as well as rules for judicial review of those orders and regulations.”

I guess it all comes down to what you mean by “anything”.

Speaking of anything, the government can deem “any” service or system a vital service or system – which then makes that entity subject to requirements, that…

(a) authorizes the Governor in Council to designate any service or system as a vital service or vital system;

(b) authorizes the Governor in Council to establish classes of operators in respect of a vital service or vital system;

(c) requires designated operators to, among other things, establish and implement cyber security programs, mitigate supply-chain and third-party risks, report cyber security incidents and comply with cyber security directions;

(d) provides for the exchange of information between relevant parties; and

(e) authorizes the enforcement of the obligations under the Act and imposes consequences for non-compliance.

Each one of these bullet points opens a can of worms unto itself,  combined they have the potential to effectively nationalize Canada’s information infrastructure.

The penalties for non-compliance are onerous: $1 million per day for individuals and $15 million /day for any other entity.

But wait, there’s more:

Under C-26, orders are filed in secret, telecommunications service providers (TSPs) can be ordered to cut off any user (including another TSP) while being barred from even informing the entity that it’s happening, let alone why.

The contents of said orders are secret and not even divulged to the target. I recommend listening to the Michael Geist / Brenda McPhail podcast above to understand the threat to Canadians’ privacy.

Me, sitting here with my easyDNS hat on, running an internet service provider, I’m dialled in on the due process aspects.

More accurately, the complete absence of due process. We’ve got twenty-five years experience of being told by various governments and their agencies to forgo due process and do things that would otherwise disrupt businesses, individual rights and even the network itself if we listened to them.

Being told to do or stop doing “anything” seems overly broad.

It gets worse:

Similar to previous legislation, there are provisions for warrantless entry into places of business, or private homes, to search, copy or remove anything they deem relevant – including documents or telecommunications equipment.

C-26 also permits the government to share data with foreign entities. Again, this is all done without any of the privacy safeguards most citizens think they have as a constitutional right, because this bill, and this government, mostly ignores that those rights exist.

Non-Hypothetical Example

Last year, around this time, the same government that is introducing this bill arbitrarily enacted bank account seizures, not only against protestors, but also targeting crowdfunded contributions to their fundraisers

This was done under the aegis of the Emergencies Act, however the seizures started before the EA was even ratified in Parliament, and the list of fundraising contributors was largely sourced from a third-party spreadsheet that was hacked from a foreign crowdfunding platform.

Never mind that the entire thing went away within a week – rationalized as “mission accomplished” (the reality was the measure sparked a run on banks and nearly blew up the Canadian financial system),

The 2022 invocation of the Emergencies Act  made it clear that our government is perfectly willing to act unilaterally, without due process, in contravention of basic human rights to unbank people at whim.

Bill C-26 will give them a veneer of Soviet-era legislation to unperson you in the online realm.

Large crowd gathered on Parliament Hill in Ottawa to celebrate the 1 year anniversary of the freedom convoy. At this time last year, the surrounding area was completely filled up with trucks. Hard to believe it has been one year already!

Στήνουν το μπλόκο οι αγρότες στον κυκλικό κόμβο Καρδίτσας – Τρακτέρ ξεκινούν από όλη την Ελλάδα εναντίον της πολιτικής εξαθλίωσης του εθνικού προδότη!

Στήνουν το μπλόκο οι αγρότες στον κυκλικό κόμβο Καρδίτσας – Τρακτέρ ξεκινούν από όλη την Ελλάδα εναντίον της πολιτικής εξαθλίωσης του εθνικού προδότη!


 «Μπλόκο» στον κυκλικό κόμβο της Καρδίτσας αναμένεται να στήσουν σήμερα γύρω στις 12:00 το μεσημέρι οι αγρότες της Θεσσαλίας. Η απόφαση πάρθηκε κατά τη διάρκεια σύσκεψης που έγινε στην Καρδίτσα με τη συμμετοχή Αγροτικών Ομοσπονδιών και Συλλόγων απ’ όλη τη Θεσσαλία.

Οι σύλλογοι αγροτών από όλη τη Θεσσαλία και τη Βοιωτία θα βρεθούν επί του αυτοκινητόδρομου Ε65, σε μία προσπάθεια να περάσουν το δικό τους μήνυμα.

Οι εκπρόσωποι των αγροτών αναφέρθηκαν στα οξυμένα προβλήματα του κλάδου, που τους αναγκάζουν να βγουν ξανά στους δρόμους. Ο πρόεδρος του ΕΟΑΣΚ, Κώστας Τζέλλας, μίλησε νωρίτερα σήμερα το πρωί σε τηλεοπτική εκπομπή σχετικά με τα αιτήματα των αγροτών.

«Είναι η εθνική οδός Καρδίτσας – Λάρισας και η παλιά εθνική Καρδίτσας – Αθηνών, εκεί έχουμε αποφασίσει να βγούμε, με τη συμπαράσταση και των συναδέλφων από τα Τρίκαλα και αύριο θα έχουμε και από τη Λάρισα στήριξη. Δεν ξεκινούν οι κινητοποιήσεις, συνεχίζουν απλά έφτασε ο «κόμπος στο χτένι». Το κόστος παραγωγής είναι πάρα πολύ υψηλό, σε πολλά προϊόντα η τιμή δε καλύπτει το κόστος παραγωγής», είπε αρχικά και συμπλήρωσε:

«Περιμένουμε όλοι ένα νέο κύμα ακρίβειας, το πετρέλαιο έχει ακριβύνει. Διεκδικούμε επιδότηση στο πετρέλαιο και φθηνότερο ρεύμα. Τα λιπάσματα επίσης είναι ένα πρόβλημα, αγοράζαμε ένα τσουβάλι 20 ευρώ, πλέον το αγοράζουμε 40-50 ευρώ. Είμαστε λιγότεροι φέτος, γιατί οι πολιτικές που ακολουθούνται μας διώχνουν από το επάγγελμα».
