Canada is considering the introduction of the Online Harms Act, also known as Bill C-63, which has sparked widespread concern among citizens, legal experts, and public figures. The proposed legislation aims to tackle hate speech and hate-motivated crimes online, granting authorities the power to impose severe penalties, including life imprisonment, for violations. Critics argue that the bill could lead to draconian sentences for online speech, surpassing those for physical crimes such as assault or murder. High-profile individuals, including a former Canadian Human Rights Tribunal chair and author Margaret Atwood, have voiced alarm over the bill's potential to infringe on free speech and create a dystopian future. Jonathan Turley warns that the bill represents a "sinister" and "shocking" overreach, potentially leading to the persecution of White Christians and granting far-left activists the authority to prosecute private citizens for expressing right-wing opinions. A Leger survey indicates that a majority of Canadians do not believe the bill will lead to a safer internet landscape, adding to the controversy surrounding the government's push for its passage.
