Our neighbors to the north are poised to pass sweeping 'hate crime' legislation, which is an Orwellian way of saying censorship. If passed, the legislation could compensate victims of 'hate speech' $20,000 and see offenders put in prison for life. You can read about it here.
And if you think this sort of thing can't happen here, well, we hate to break it to you, but the Left has called for 'common sense' limits on the First Amendment for a while and they hate the Constitution.
It also goes full 'Minority Report,' the 2002 Tom Cruise film where government predicts when you'll commit a crime before you do it:
Ezra Levant (@ezralevant) ~ It gets worse. The bill creates a pre-crime called “fear of hate crime”. You can be put under house arrest, with an ankle monitor, forced to give blood samples, banned from talking to any person, etc. if someone “fears” you’ll say something hateful.
Dr Jordan B Peterson (@jordanbpeterson) ~ Excellent! Retroactive crime!
Thanks @JustinTrudeau, that's an evil I hadn't considered before!
Sincerely,
Satan 👿
'Pre-crime'. Because the loony left-wingers in Canada wouldn't use that against any conservative.
It also holds you accountable for retroactive 'crimes', too:
Ezra Levant (@ezralevant) ~ The bill would create a new section 13(2) of the Canadian Human Rights Act. It says you’re liable for anything you’ve ever posted (if you have the power to remove it now).

Just insane.
Never underestimate the government's power to do bad, bad things.
Mark Ashworth (@marklarflash) ~ The intersection of fascism and communism here is extraordinary. That’s why there are no interesting differences between the two.
They're just slightly different shades of left-wing tyranny and oppression.
There is no difference between the two. And Canada is both on steroids.
Skeptic333 (@sceptic333) ~ Just like Mao's Cultural Revolution.
There are leftists who brag about being Maoists. And that should scare us all.
UnBaffle.me (@unbaffle_me) ~
Solid advice.
Phil Labonte, Talent Terrorist (@philthatremains) ~ Yeah, I don’t think it’s safe to travel to Canada anymore.
Probably not. Not if you like free speech.
Lauren Southern (@Lauren_Southern) ~ All my homies going to jail. 🤗 See you there!
Party on cell block A, we guess.
Marina Medvin (@MarinaMedvin) ~ Canada is willing to take away rights and freedoms based on the subjective fears of your accuser. This is a grant of gigantic government power for unethical people to use liberally against their enemies. Chilling.
There's no way this doesn't get abused with the full endorsement of the state.

* Bad cases make bad law.
* Bad legislation makes bad cases.
* And bad government makes bad legislation.
Make it a quote. 😂
Yep. Put it on a t-shirt.
Arthur Frelling Dent (@ArthurFrDent) ~
Major '1984' vibes.
FrowningSphinx (@FrowningSphinx) ~ We're living the dystopian movies one by one ...
Certainly feels that way.
Caleb Sunderland (@farmercaleb) ~ So the left will decide if what you say is “hate”, then potentially lock you up for life if you transgress. To top that off, if they even think you might say something that they decide is “hate,” you're toast.
Yeah, my days on the outside are numbered ...
But if you commit a violent crime, you'll be set free.
Only 'hate speech' deserves life in prison.
Andreas (@sf_andreas) ~ I’ll say it again and again: Justin Trudeau is a dictator.
Yes, he is.
Hope saying that doesn't land you in prison.
Well ... Canadians need to vote him out of power.
Richard Goatcher (@richardgoatcher) ~ Is the Liberal Nanny State about to plunge off the deep end?
Sure seems that way. And they're going to drown everyone with them.
The Fulcrum (@AbeLopezAuthor) ~ *Taps the sign*
This is the perfect analogy.
Just perfect.
