EZRA LEVANT: Manny Montenegrino Performs An Ethical Audit of Justin Trudeau

I’m afraid that Canada is now the most dangerous place in the world for freedom of speech. Look at this insane press conference just this week, from the provincial legislature in Ontario

In case you missed it, she wants massive fines and even jail for being merely “offensive remarks” or “protests”.

You probably didn’t notice it, but I called her a "she", instead of "they-them." So I just broke her proposed law, right there. I misgendered her. That’s “offensive” to her. It’s pretty clear that she is offended all the time. You could say she is offended for a living. But there is no human right not to be offended. That’s a counterfeit human right. Which now takes precedence over real human rights, like freedom of speech and freedom of thought. Canada’s great history of civil liberties is coming to an end.

A few weeks ago, Jyoti Gondek, the mayor of Calgary, Canada’s fourth-largest city, announced the same thing: that anyone who says something she finds hateful or vitriolic, or lying should be arrested and fined. Some might say she is hateful and vitriolic and tells lies. Those aren’t crimes by the way. That mayor publicly demanded that police arrest a pastor named Derek Reimer because she found him offensive. So they arrested Pastor Reimer, and jailed him — for being offensive.

There are a lot of arrests of peaceful political critics in Canada these days. Pastor Artur Pawlowski was jailed for a month and a half for keeping his church open during the lockdowns.

Justin Trudeau invoked martial law and had peaceful trucker protesters arrested and jailed for the sin of embarrassing him on the world stage. He also seized the bank accounts of hundreds of other peaceful critics of his regime. In his defence, he did try to warn us about his beliefs, even before he was elected

When a politician says he admires Communist China precisely because of its basic dictatorship, we should believe him. When Fidel Castro died, Trudeau wrote a eulogy like a son would write for a father. Cuban health care is a disaster. “while a controversial figure, both Mr. Castro’s supporters and detractors recognized his tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for “el comandante”." Is that what his “detractors” say, from their prison cells? That Castro was just a loveable old dictator who really had their best interests at heart? So gross.

But here’s the thing. Arresting peaceful protesters, deploying riot police to stomp on your critics, seizing bank accounts — it looks awful. It’s messy. It’s so obviously controlled by politicians and it’s so obviously designed to stifle political dissent. But if you’re going to silence someone, the way to do it in 2023 is much different from how Castor did it a generation ago. And Trudeau knows that. And while his allies are having noisy press conferences where they absolutely make it clear that they’re all about silencing their political enemies, Trudeau is smarter than that.

You see, the truly modern fascist uses the Internet, not the police, to censor people wherever possible. When you take over the Internet, there are no shocking TV images of cops beating up your opponents. It’s all done online. There’s nothing to see.

And that’s what I want to warn the world about — that’s the message that everyone who loves or even just likes Canada needs to know: Trudeau has embarked on a massive legislative program to censor the Internet.

He’s going through it in four stages, the first of which is about to become law within weeks. Trudeau has four laws set up like dominos. The first leads to the second, which leads to the third and so-on. He’s doing it in stages. If he were to do it all at once people might panic and rise up. But he’s going it incrementally. But the first domino will fall in weeks maybe even days.

BILL C-11
Later this month, Trudeau’s majority in the Senate will approve bill C-11, which amends the Broadcasting Act. In a way, this is the most important stage, the first domino, because until now, the government hasn’t been able to regulate what’s on the Internet. Until now, only regular television and radio have been regulated by Trudeau and his hand-picked censors at the CRTC, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. It even sounds archaic, doesn’t it? What’s a radio-television? Is that like a motion picture or something?

Anyways, that dinosaur regulator, which has been an utter fai...
