Yet Another Bill That Threatens Internet Freedom in Canada
Hands up everyone who thinks it’s a good idea to allow kids to watch pornography?
Anyone? No? Sure? Anyone?
I didn’t think so. Neither do I. But that’s exactly why Canada is on the cusp of passing what could turn out to be its most invasive, privacy-threatening, internet-freedom suppressing, anti-free speech legislation yet.
And all in the name of a good cause. Welcome to Bill S-210, the Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography Act. It’s a private member’s bill introduced by Sen. Julie Miville-Dechene. It has passed three readings in the Senate, where it was introduced, and is now in committee with the House of Commons, having sailed through its first two readings there.
It’s a bill with significantly frightening flaws and truly problematic potential. But it might very well become law because there aren’t enough politicians out there with the guts to oppose it.
Halifax privacy lawyer and law school lecturer David Fraser calls it a “clear and present danger to a free and open internet” that “shockingly” has gained political traction.
Feminism is in an unending war against men, families and civilisation. It is undermining our society, destroying relationships between men and women, making both males and females unhappy - and it is destroying our institutions.

Alberta’s future belongs to Albertans—not Ottawa.
That’s Maxime Bernier’s message on his Alberta tour. He’s calling for radical decentralization: getting Ottawa out of provincial affairs and putting decisions back in the hands of the provinces — and closer to the people who live with the consequences.
MAX’S MESSAGE: OTTAWA, GET OUT OF PROVINCIAL AFFAIRS.
Tonight, Max makes his case live from Calgary, joined by Isaias Nolasco of New Generation PPC, Nadine Wellwood Autor of Alberta Rising, and Madison and MayCee Holmes, co-hosts of At Home with Holmes.
