You've likely seen the headlines from bills C-34, C-36, and C-22 in the media.

Each may sound reasonable on their own: protect kids online, modernize privacy, help police catch criminals.

But buried within is an emerging Digital Regulatory Superpower unlike anything Canadians have ever seen.

These bills hand one unelected commission power over what Canadians can say, what stays private, and who the state can watch.

As of today, the Federal Government is rushing to enact massive Internet Surveillance Reform into law without proper debate.

Oh good. Racially segregated parking.

For years, Israel has been vilified for “targeting journalists” in Gaza.

Now @pressfreedom has removed more names from its list after admitting said "journalist" participated in combat.

That should be a major media scandal.

Instead, the same outlets that helped spread the accusation against Israel will quietly move on to the next libel.

[Sarah Ettedgui @SarahEttedgui]

Fundamentally, the problem is not that Canada takes Islamophobia seriously. It should. The problem is when Canada gives seriousness, legitimacy, and public-policy weight to organizations whose representatives appear publicly wearing symbols that erase Israel.

A pin shaped like Israel, completely covered in a keffiyeh, says Jewish sovereignty is the problem. It says Jews out of the land.

And that is exactly the problem with how “anti-Palestinian racism” (APR) is being used: to delegitimize Jewish peoplehood, Jewish self-determination, and the existence of Israel itself.

Don’t get it twisted. A pin that covers the entire State of Israel in a keffiyeh is a symbol of elimination. And it should have no place in Canadian anti-racism spaces, government consultations, or public policy advocacy.

Your activism ends when it marks my peoplehood for elimination.

[Donal Moloney @DonalMoloney10]

Everyone knows that a two-state solution would involve an Arab-only Palestine alongside a multiethnic Israel with a sizable Arab minority with full citizenship. Yet we're supposed to believe that Israel is the racist apartheid ethnostate. As ever, hatred of Israel is subrational.

The Government of Canada did not issue a statement when Iran attacked Israel. The Government of Canada only issued a statement after Israel responded to an attack from Iran.

1. The terrorist entity IRGC violated the ceasefire and fired missiles at Israel.
2. The only group that defends the IRGC in Canada is the Iranian Canadian Congress (ICC).
3. The ICC has been led by the same people who are now running Olivia Chow's mayoral campaign.

It is literally insane that this is not an election issue.

This statement by @CanadaFP is the definition of “double standards.”

“The people of Lebanon have endured immense hardship.”

What about the people of Israel? Why didn’t GAC say “the people of Lebanon AND Israel”

Jewish family's horror as posters of their missing daughter, 14, are ripped down by cruel residents in Toronto https://t.co/c8csn30BqY

🇨🇦 2026
Young Muslims openly declare that the main threat to the Islamic nation is Jews.
They wish the world to be “Jew free.”
That translates into “judenrein” in German.
And not a single 🇨🇦 leader has had a thing to say about this.

JEW FREE

[Warren Kinsella @kinsellawarren]

I don't believe Carney is an antisemite. You don't live/work where he did and get away with that.

But he knows that progressive politics - which includes much of his Liberal Party - has now fully succumbed to antisemitism. So he nods to it.

That's worse, to me. It's antisemitism that's motivated by cynicism, not belief.

[CIJA @CIJAinfo]

Let us be clear: this is not a debate about the Middle East. Hanging effigies of Jews in the streets of Montreal evokes some of the darkest antisemitic imagery in history and is completely unacceptable.

This is not “peaceful activism.” It is the promotion of hatred and the incitement of violence that fuels the radicalization of our social climate.

What will it take for authorities to treat these acts as the serious threat they are?

[Marilynne Friedman @marilynnefriedm]

One more pertinent detail: the posters were left alone until it became widely known that this 14-year-old missing child is Jewish. This is #Toronto. Despite what @MayorOliviaChow @fordnation @MarkJCarney say, this is EXACTLY what Canada is. And it became this on their watch.

"It’s astonishing that almost no media outlet has reported on the UN’s downgrading of some of the most extreme climate scenarios that helped drive the urgency behind the Paris Climate Accord and carbon taxes around the world.

The UN-backed scientific community is now acknowledging that the planet is likely not warming as fast as some earlier worst-case projections suggested. Canadians deserve to know this, especially as major policies continue to reshape economies, energy systems, and food affordability."
