Bill C-9 = Defines what you can and cannot say, the consequences of hurting people’s feelings

Bill C-22 = Provides the government with the proof (metadata) they need to go after you for hate-speech.

Bill C-8 = Gives the power to our government to cut you off the internet and prohibit Internet Service Providers from selling you services.

Unlike what they want you to believe, these bills are not separate, they are interconnected.

The government wants to put in place the legal framework to spy on us and use AI to keep us in check.

This is not about safety; this is about crushing dissent.

@EvanLSolomon The existential threat isn’t AI.

It’s government control of AI.

@jengerson @the_lineca And that is why we pay for your journalism.

I just completed the 2026 census last night and I'm still shaking my head. Of all of the potentially useful questions they could have asked, multiple questions on my gender and what language I speak (at least 4 on that topic) were absolutely baffling.

Not a single question that could actually inform strategy or policy.

[Greg Brady @gregbradyx]

Just phenomenal journalism from @politico & @MickeyDjuric on how 🇨🇦 & 🇺🇸 trade talks fell apart.

If you wanted this to be all about Trump….you’ll be terribly disappointed. Canada’s fingerprints are all over some huge mistakes.

Andy gets it. Carney is basically latest in a line of Canada China Business Council leaders, that’s it. That is the way to parse his policies. The eurolove and Trump antidote messaging is just fluff.

[Sam Cooper @scoopercooper]

Same month Carney was named as Trudeau economic advisor; October met with Beijing mayor, expressed keen interest in CCP administered investment inside China (per CCP readout); November 2024 secured 276 million loan for Brookfield … Jan 2025 runs for LPC leadership; January 26 strategic PRC partner…

@TristinHopper Those with means are quietly planning, moving assets and building the exit strategy. We want to fight, but appropriate for May 4th, a reference to how democracy dies, to the sound of thunderous applause.

@KMLOnt @Canada The tip of the iceberg

[David Knight Legg @KnightLegg]

Canada’s Chief Justice Richard Wagner has installed a lifelike bronze bust of himself in our highest court.

It should be called ‘Narcissus Canadiannus”

- There is no precedent for something this vulgar in the history of the Court. It should be taken down. Richard fancies himself.

- Richard also fancies his own opinion on things. He violated legal due process and the Courts reputation by publicly accusing the Convoy - who protested backwards federal Covid policies that were soon dropped of ‘anarchy’ and ‘hostage taking’.

Now that the Convoys freedom of speech, assembly and due process rights have been asserted by lower courts the Supreme Court has to consider the appeal of the federal govt and weigh the rights of citizens against the decision of the federal government to impose the Emergencies Act to suspend those rights.

Wagners lack of judicial discretion in the first instance makes his recusal from such an important rights-defining case important because it signals not just fairness in the content of the decision but in the way the decision gets reached by the highest Court.

He has already shown his bias. Any decision against the convoy poisons the integrity of the Court if he remains present.

But Richard - the man with the bust of himself in our Court - doesn’t imagine himself under the law he imposes on others. He hasn’t completed any graduate work in law or published any academic work in law, philosophy or jurisprudence so it’s hard to know how he justifies himself in these matters.

Ironically, he has a reputation for warning others - including those far more qualified in formal jurisprudence than he is - not to critique Canadian judges like himself or their (increasingly bizarre and politicized) decisions.

But, from the Magna Carta onwards, Richard should know that in law as in politics dissent is democracy.

The dissent of the Convoy and the growing critique of Richards own bizarre behaviour and inability to articulate a judicial philosophy is exactly what’s needed to save Canada - and the Court’s reputation as a place where justice - not the ego of the Justices - is at stake.

Richard should recuse himself. And remove that vulgar bust from the Supreme Court.

The greatest threat to public confidence in our institutions isn't foreign interference or AI slop or right/left-wing disinfo or unfair partisan attacks.

It's observed performance.
