While the relentless attack upon free speech in the West continues, with developments in the UK and Europe being very disturbing, we should not forget what is going down in Canada. Elon Musk has recently tweeted that Trudeau is “trying to crush free speech“ in Canada. Musk has in mind a new Canadian law, Bill C-18, that requires social media and streaming services with revenues over $10 million to register with the government, beginning in November 2023. Facebook, X, Netflix, and Disney, are also included, and radio stations that livestream online, and podcast services. This is a whole new level of social control, where in a Soviet style registration and regulation regime, social media, particularly the social media that Trudeau does not like, such as Musk’s X (formerly Twitter), are brought to heel. Trudeau has done other things eroding traditional liberties such as the cancellation of the Canadian truckers, and the comprehensive gun ban, so we can be sure that C-18 is the nasty thick edge of an even thicker wedge.
