Majority of Canadians support federal government’s plan to regulate internet, poll shows

The federal government’s broad push to regulate the internet has the support of a majority of Canadians, according to a new survey, even though the details of Ottawa’s plans are generating strong pushback from policy experts.

The House of Commons is currently studying two separate pieces of legislation proposing the regulation of online news remuneration and streaming services. It is also in the process of drafting a third bill that will aim to combat various online abuses, including hate speech, terrorist content and child pornography.

A Nanos Research poll commissioned by The Globe and Mail found that 55 per cent of Canadians support or somewhat support greater government regulation of the internet, while 37 per cent oppose or somewhat oppose such regulation and 8 per cent said they are unsure.

I am not buying this poll. Go Incognito.

How Media Transferred Conservatives From Good Citizens To Racist Thugs

Believe it or not, there was a time when being a conservative in Canada was fair and reasonable. In fact, it wasn’t that long ago. It was during the twelve year period that Conservative Stephen Harper served as prime minister that a line of demarcation appeared.

Toward the end of Harper’s tenure, Canadian media began to play the “race card.” One catalyst involved a new arrival to Canada who demanded to cover her face during her citizenship ceremony. General society objected to the idea of Islamic Law overruling 145 years of Canadian tradition. PM Stephen Harper agreed.

An association between conservative politics and “Islamophobia” was born. To this day, mainstream media has clung to the concept. As years passed, a notion of conservatives as racist– both the party and the public– has solidified into a common social perception.

Stephen Maher: How the racial makeup of Poilievre rallies could be used against him

Last week, when Pierre Poilievre held a huge rally in a show-jumping facility on Calgary’s southern edge, I observed on Twitter that the enthusiastic crowd seemed to be mostly made up of white people, which might pose a problem for Poilievre.

This tweet — part of a long, not very interesting thread about Poilievre’s event — struck some people the wrong way, and I have since then been denounced hundreds of times, most recently in the National Post earlier this week by columnist Rupa Subramanya, who implied my comment constitutes a racist attack on Poilievre and his supporters.

Press group won’t investigate fake news by left-wing journalist

The Chair of the National News Media Council is refusing to investigate claims that a left-wing journalist misrepresented her arrest by RCMP officers during an anti-pipeline protest in subsequent reporting.

According to Blacklock’s Reporter, Chair John Fraser claimed that the matter was outside of the organization’s mandate – despite that mandate involving investigating breaches of journalistic standards among members.

What right does the government have to judge Rebel News?

I am awaiting the tempest of outrage and rebuttal from every newspaper, television and radio station, the Canadian Association of Journalists, Journalists for Free Expression, every journalism school and journalism professor about this gross assault on the free press.

I am waiting for them to take a concerted stand in support of their journalistic colleagues at Rebel News, under the long understood principle that an attack on any member of the press is an attack on all. In particular, I await the unanimous support of the Ottawa press gallery, the most prestigious guardian of press independence.

Rex Murphy: Flashbacks of the truckers’ protest are ‘haunting us still’

I know that with such fast-flowing events as the Conservative leadership race, the Liberal budget, and of course Joe Biden’s matchless press conferences — there will someday be a book called Profiles in Incoherence — that the dark hours of the truckers protest are receding from memory. The Emergencies Act has — I think — been lifted, and people are slowly repairing their spirits from that trying episode. Still, we are not completely out from under its shadow. To borrow a phrase, famous from another context, “it haunts us still.”

CBC says racism against white people “doesn’t exist”

In response to a viewer’s complaint that a CBC radio program had discriminated against people of British descent, a CBC director has said that racism against white people “doesn’t exist.”

The complaint focused on a June 30, 2021 airing of CBC Vancouver’s radio show The Early Edition, where a guest had complained that schools were named after “Lord so-and-so or Queen this or Sir whatever.”

Social media needs to be held accountable for Russian propaganda & any forms of disinformation, Mélanie Joly says … Will they go after Freedolph?

OTTAWA—For Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly, there is one tool that’s not only paved the way for, but sustained, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine: disinformation.

And she wants to position Canada as a leader in tackling misleading content online, starting with social media.

“Propaganda is not only happening in Russia, it’s happening in new virtual battlegrounds, which are our social media companies,” Joly said Friday in conversation with Janice Stein, founding director of the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs.

“So what Canada will be doing, and what I want to make sure that we push even more … is (that) social media companies need to do more to prevent propaganda, and to counter any forms of disinformation,” the minister added.

Disinformation? Would that include Freedolph’s successful effort to have the bought and paid for media white-wash her Nazi scarf photo-op?

The Star is on a roll today HMA is your friend.

Free Speech, Freedom Among Top Issues of Concern for Canadians after abuses by Trudeau Liberals: New Poll

Canadians are becoming increasingly concerned about the issues of free speech and freedom, a new poll finds.

Conducted by Nanos Research, the poll found that of all national issues of concern, free speech and freedom came in second as the “most important” to Canadians at 8.3 percent, just behind the coronavirus at 13.1 percent, and of higher priority than the environment at 7.5 percent.

With the latest numbers released on March 15, the ongoing survey has tracked Canadians’ top concerns every week since its launch in Jan. 2020.

Woke Liberals move to dictate what is news

What’s the biggest threat to Canadian democracy?

Horn-honking, bouncy-castling truckers? White nationalists marching with tiki torches held high?

Apparently, the popular backyard mosquito repellants ($14.99 at Canadian Tire online) are occasionally used as a racist symbol by white supremacists.

To hear the federal Liberal government and their media toadies tell it: Yes, truckers and lurking racists (backed by anonymous foreign funders and provocateurs) are seeking to undermine our institutions.

But the biggest threat isn’t even Russian nukes. It’s the Liberal government.

Freeland’s office “pressured” legacy media to change stories critical of her tacit support for Nazis

The legacy media in Canada is every bit as dishonest and corrupted as you and I suspect. Last month when True North broke the story of Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland holding a Nazi banner at a Ukrainian rally in Toronto, a handful of legacy media reporters picked up our scoop.

Most wrote their stories according to Freelend’s Liberal spin – that Freeland had done nothing wrong, the any critics of the Liberals were spreading “Russian disinformation” and that True North’s journalists were to blame for writing this story.

This shit will sap support for Ukraine.

GUNTER: More falsehoods about the convoy are now being retracted

The CBC has retracted a second story it reported about the Freedom Convoy that turned out to be fake.

The first was the absurd allegation that somehow Russians were behind the scenes pulling the convoy’s strings in an effort to destabilize the Canadian government.

The CBC was just doing its job as instructed by the Trudeau Liberal Party – reporting fake news.

CANTIN-NANTEL: I went to Carleton’s “Journalism Under Siege” event, and the legacy media know they’re flawed

Carleton University’s School of Journalism held a panel discussion with members of the legacy media on Tuesday to discuss their role in covering what the school called “the siege of Ottawa” by “the so-called freedom convoy.”

Before it even took place, the event received backlash online for its biased tone and the apparent exclusion of independent and right-of-centre journalists.

Federal department gave money to magazine publishing pandemic misinformation

As the federal government was promising to tackle harmful false claims about the pandemic spreading online, it was giving thousands of dollars to a magazine spreading vaccine misinformation — including unsubstantiated claims that COVID-19 vaccines could cause cancer in children.
