Rip Canada
“Speech crimes”
The bill says “advocating genocide”
Yes, and do you honestly think it will stop there? Human rights in Canada are dead, and Trudeau killed them.
The right to…checks notes…advocate genocide is dead and you think it’s a slippery slope?
I mean, that tracks with the conservative understanding of language as another frontier in the competition of life, but still…well, let me ask you a question:
Would you defend my right to advocate for the genocide of white people or whatever nationality, ethnicity, color of skin, or etc you are? (To be crystal clear, I’m not doing that, nor do I ever intend to do that, or even support anyone that would do that)
Free speech is dead in Canada. Guess what, speech falls under the category of speech.
Nice far right bullshit. lol
Look at the text of the bill for yourself. https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/44-1/bill/C-63/first-reading
Just ctrl-f for prison
I’ve read the bill. There are ZERO passages that indicate life sentences for ‘speech crimes’
“Every person who advocates or promotes genocide is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for life.”
“Everyone who commits an offence under this Act or any other Act of Parliament, if the commission of the offence is motivated by hatred based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for life.”
