Bill C-10 remains a threat

Canada’s Conservatives are calling out this Liberal government, along with the Bloc Quebecois and the New Democratic Party, for their collective action to muzzle debate on Bill C-10, which ironically limits your freedom of speech online. 

In a time where Canadians are stuck at home and using social media as a primary source of information, the Liberal government is discretely ramming through legislation which changes how Canadians will view online content. 

Social media has developed into a platform to call out abuses of authority with prominent examples being the Me Too movement and human rights abuses in Hong Kong. Bill C-10, however, allows room for massive abuses of power that would compromise the fundamental rights of the people of Canada. 

My conservative colleagues and I support equality between larger foreign streaming services and Canadian broadcasters to champion Canadian arts and culture in a way that does not compromise freedom of speech or expression. 

While the NDP and Bloc may be turning a blind eye to freedom of expression, Canada’s Conservatives are prepared to stand up and repeal this flawed legislation if the Trudeau government does not withdraw Bill C-10.
