📝 DESCRIPTION
Carney revives C-63—Canada’s most dangerous threat to free speech in a generation.

Once thought dead, the Online Harms Bill is back on the table, and this time with more strategic silence. The government claims it’s about stopping terrorism and exploitation—but we already have laws for that. What C-63 really did—and could do again—is criminalize dissent, turn Big Tech into government enforcers, and erase the line between disagreement and “harm.”

The Democracy Fund is raising the alarm, and they’re not alone. This bill isn’t safety—it’s surveillance. It isn’t justice—it’s a digital dragnet. It weaponizes ambiguity. It punishes speech. It replaces public debate with algorithmic obedience.

Do we want to live in a Canada where the government decides what you’re allowed to say online? Where satire, disagreement, or criticism could become prosecutable?

This is not just about social media—it’s about the survival of open dialogue in a free society. If freedom of expression dies in silence, the next generation will never know what it was.

Is Canada still a place for open debate—or are we watching democracy get filtered out?
When the state defines “harm,” who gets silenced next?
