#BillC63, the Online Harms Act, is mocked in the Spectator. It's as if Scotland's hate speech laws weren't a bad enough example, Canada says, "Hold my beer." spectator.co.uk/article/even-o…
Sale of new $22,000 ventilators as scrap metal for $6 apiece is inexplicable, says MP. @GovCanHealth said it had no records on the purchase of devices it licensed. “Was it incompetence or corruption?” blacklocks.ca/no-records-say… @markhollandlib @cherylgallant #cdnpoli

Former Chair of the CHRT here, @althiaraj . Good discussion, but the Minister dodged the hard questions. No, judges will not decide what is hate speech in the first instance. It will be appointed CHRT members, who are not even required to be legally trained. Too much subjectivity…

Peter Menzies: Scotland’s Draconian Hate Speech Laws Can Serve as Canada’s Canary in the Coal Mine theepochtimes.com/opinion/peter-… via @EpochTimes
My thanks to @Pagmenzies for amplifying my message of concern about #billC63. Scotland is already experiencing the mess I predict we will have here if the Online Harms Act is passed into law. Scotland’s Draconian Hate Speech Laws Can Serve as Canada’s Canary in the Coal Mine:…

Taxpayers' hard earned dollars going up in another bonfire. (Someone obviously made a lot of money, though...)
Let's recap China's interference in Canada's elections: * CCP was helping the Liberals win ridings. * China "clandestinely and deceptively" interfered in the 2019 and 2021 federal elections. * over 18 candidates and 13 staff were implicated in the PRC foreign interference…
The sad irony is that, yet again, NDP decisions based on ideology, not reality, will end up hurting those they intend to help. Create a toxic environment for landlords and there will be less rental units available. Guaranteed.

More deserved criticism of #BillC63, the proposed Online Harms Act. There is no mandate for the government to impose such a draconian regime on Canadians. The proposed cure is definitely worse than the problem. Canada’s descent into tyranny is almost complete: David Collins in…
It sounds like a nice idea with good intentions, but like so many other decisions made by naive politicians, it will likely have the opposite effect of making the housing market worse for renters. Governments should aim to guide market forces, not try to block them head on.

I agree with @cvangeyn here. Threatening prosecution for severe penalties for minor offenses is common in the USA and we should steer clear up here. I have practiced law long enough to see exactly this, where the Minster says, "Oh, the law will never be applied like that!" But…

PMO says open to C-63 changes based on expert advice but appears to think expert critics are delusional kooks. The gaslighting is just exhausting.

The business climate in Canada is bad. Taxes are too high, businesses are over-regulated and the rule of law is in doubt. Why should anyone be surprised we are falling behind?

@AngusReid The top 1% in Canada pay 22% of the taxes and voters endorse the idea that the rich don't pay their fair share. A country where everybody loves entitlements as long as someone else (rich) is paying for it. Canada certainly isn't done chasing away talent.
I put my Toronto Star subscription to some use this evening. nationalpost.com/opinion/carson…
@humanrightsprez @GovCanHealth @JulieVignolaBL Documents show the Canadian Emergency Ventilators were auctioned as scrap as late as February 8, 2023 while still licensed by the Department of Health. Licenses were revoked weeks later on March 22 only AFTER dozens of units were sold.
If you’re a tenured prof married to a tenured prof, you never have to worry for the rest of your life. You get 💯 job security, regular increases to salary, and when you retire you get an indexed pension. Courtesy of the taxpayer and students who won’t be able to afford a home.
I am a professor and I am married to a professor. We will never have to worry about paying off our mortgage, making car payments or affording food. If the changes in capital gains means we pay more tax so that social programs are more economically viable, we’re OK with that
BC NDP going full woke. Not learning from years of Trudeau errors. Not learning that anti racism is racism. Not learning that anti racism is divisive. bclaws.gov.bc.ca/civix/document…
@MPelletierCIO Fair share leads to equal poverty
@MPelletierCIO The greatest gift a parent (government) can give a child (the people) is independence. This current culture of entitlement does no one any favours.
@awudrick @AlbertaLeonidas But also you should have sympathy because they're not in any sort of universal sense "rich" - they just have had their retirement plan (say, selling their business for a million dollars) that they planned their lives around skimmed.

@NyaPfanner Divide and conquer, now they are trying to put the older generations against the younger. There wouldn’t be a tax problem if there wasn’t a spending problem and both the young and the old would be doing ok.
@Calculator60 @Swiftie01 What you don't see is the wording All corporations, even a one person corporation, will pay tax on 100% of capital gains. Retired people living off of there dividends, no matter how small they are, will pay capital gains on 100 % of the gains.
If you own a corp with investments in it Take a breath Call an accountant And prepare to sell your shit before June 25th.
Oh really? You think that people should pay 58% of their income in taxes followed by a 15% sales tax on the money that they are "allowed" to keep, in addition to property tax, school tax, capital gains tax, carbon tax, etc. So you disagree with me that it might be excessive to…

We know that online harms have real world consequences, and now is the critical moment to make the digital world a safe space. With industry experts at the Governor General’s Symposium, we discussed this and our Online Harms Act to create a safe experience for everyone.
@KnightLegg Of course, there is a direct connection between the situation which Maher critiques and the fact that millions of Canadians – including many accomplished and talented people – have opted to live and work overseas.
@rupasubramanya Also, public sector employees don't pay tax. They are paid out of the taxes of real workers.
