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?

These weren’t isolated fumbles, they were self-inflicted wounds from chasing social justice optics at the expense of reality. Now, Canada is the latest casualty, with “woke” poli...
