The government is building a full super-digital regulator in Canada. On top of the online harms and social media powers in Bill C-34, Bill C-36 hands the same Commission responsibility for private sector privacy. The power vested in this single body is unprecedented in Canada.
Guess this is how Canadians find out Carney is travelling to Brasil next month "I'm going to go see Lula. You okay with Lula?"
The absentee Prime Minister...
I've always favoured incompetence and stupidity as the more reasonable explanations for this government's actions, but this desperate, Orwellian crusade to regulate the internet 'to save the kids' feels downright sinister.
This is the point. Same will happen in all countries that will make social media age restrictions. “Won’t someone think of the children” is usually not about the children
When China unfairly subsidizes its steel industry to sell into Canada at lower prices than domestic manufacturers it's called Dumping.
When China subsidizes its EV industry to undercut our domestic auto manufacturers it's call affordability.
From @WSJFreeEx via @WSJOpinion: Prepare yourself for a hot, wet storm of stupidity. This is an El Niño year. Get ready for spiking levels of uninformed hysteria about allegedly weird and supposedly unnatural weather, writes @MattHennessey.

“The real goal should be reduced government spending, rather than balanced budgets achieved by ever rising tax rates to cover ever rising spending.”

The kids’ social media ban gets the headlines, but my post argues Bill C-34’s most consequential element may be the Commission, a super-regulator overseeing the system with its own rules of evidence, potentially secret hearings, and wide-ranging powers.

Did anyone have Mark Carney running deficits DOUBLE what Justin Trudeau was planning on their bingo card?
The federal debt is now over $1.3 TRILLION.
This fiscal recklessness is bankrupting Canada.
And future generations are being left with the bill.
