Alberta senator wants to revive lapsed Trudeau internet censorship bill

From LifeSiteNews
Senator Kristopher Wells and other senators are ‘interested’ in reviving the controversial Online Harms Act legislation that was abandoned after the election call.
A recent Trudeau-appointed Canadian senator said that he and other āinterested senatorsā want the current Liberal government of Prime Minister Mark Carney to revive a controversial Trudeau-era internet censorship bill that lapsed.
Kristopher Wells, appointed by former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau last year as a senator from Alberta, made the comments about reviving an internet censorship bill recently in the Senate.
āIn the last Parliament, the government proposed important changes to theĀ Criminal CodeĀ of Canada designed to strengthen penalties for hate crime offences,ā he said of Bill C-63 that lapsed earlier this year after the federal election was called.
Bill C-63, or theĀ Online Harms Act, was put forth under the guise of protecting children from exploitation online.
While protecting children is indeed a duty of the state, the bill included several measures that targeted vaguely defined āhate speechā infractions involving race, gender, and religion, among other categories. The proposal was thusĀ blastedĀ by many legal experts.
The Online Harms ActĀ would have in essence censored legal internet content that the government thought ālikely to foment detestation or vilification of an individual or group.ā It would be up to the Canadian Human Rights Commission to investigate complaints.
Wells said that āBill C-63 did not come to a vote in the other place and in the dying days of the last Parliament the government signaled it would be prioritizing other aspects of the bill.ā
āI believe Canada must get tougher on hate and send a clear and unequivocal message that hate and extremism will never be tolerated in this country no matter who it targets,ā he said.
Carney, asĀ reported by LifeSiteNews, vowed to continue in Trudeauās footsteps, promising even more legislation to crack down on lawful internet content.
Before the April 28 election call, the Liberals were pushingĀ Bill C-63.
Wells asked if the current Carney government remains ācommitted to tabling legislation that will amend theĀ Criminal CodeĀ as proposed in the previous Bill C-63 and will it commit to working with interested senators and community stakeholders to make the changes needed to ensure this important legislation is passed?ā
Seasoned Senator Marc Gold replied that he is not in āa position to speculateā on whether a new bill would be brought forward.
Before Bill C-63, a similar law, Bill C-36, lapsed in 2021 due to that yearās general election.
AsĀ noted byĀ LifeSiteNews, Wells has in the past advocated for closing Christian schools that refuse to violate their religious principles by accepting so-called Gay-Straight Alliance Clubs and spearheaded so-called āconversion therapy bans.ā
Other internet censorship bills that have become law have yet to be fully implemented.
Last month, LifeSiteNewsĀ reported thatĀ former Minister of Environment Steven Guilbeault, known for his radical climate views, will be the person in charge of implementing Bill C-11, a controversial bill passed in 2023 that aims to censor legal internet content in Canada.

FBI urged to release withheld records on Hunter Biden laptop, other āTwitter Filesā

From LifeSiteNews
By Dan Frieth
Judicial Watch initiated theĀ lawsuitĀ in April 2023, targeting the DOJ, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence
A hearing took place Wednesday, before U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan, in a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit brought by Judicial Watch against the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The case seeks records related to the āTwitter Files,ā particularly those involving Hunter Bidenās laptop and allegations of censorship.
The only matter still pending is the FBIās withholding of records detailing two meetings between agency officials and Twitter representatives from the Biden administration.
Judicial Watch initiated theĀ lawsuitĀ in April 2023, targeting the DOJ, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.
The legal action followed the FBIās failure to respond to a December 2022 FOIA request for communications between FBI personnel and key Twitter figures, includingĀ Yoel Roth,Ā Vijaya Gadde, andĀ Jim Baker, from June 2020 to December 2022.
These individuals were involved in discussions about suppressing theĀ New York Postās Hunter Biden laptop story, as disclosed in journalist Matt Taibbiās December 2022 āTwitter Files.ā
Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, expressed strong disappointment: āIt is frustrating beyond belief for Judicial Watch to have to go to federal court for basic information on Bidenās abuse of the FBI, using Twitter to censor and monitor Americans.ā
Through a mix of FOIA requests and legal action, Judicial Watch continues to document extensive censorship efforts that affected tens of millions of Americans.
In November 2024, it obtained DHS records showing a widespread campaign, by both government and private groups, to police and suppress social media posts concerning election fraud in 2020.
Additional records from June 2024, released through Judicial Watch litigation, revealed that just before and after the 2020 election, state officials flagged alleged misinformation and sent it to entities like the Center for Internet Security, CISA, and the Election Integrity Partnership (EIP), a DHS-backed nonprofit known for targeting online election discourse.
In December 2023, DHS documents exposed coordination between CISA and the EIP to conduct āreal-time narrative trackingā on major social media platforms in the run-up to the 2020 vote.
Similar records surfaced in November 2023, showing EIPās influence over platforms such as Google, Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, Pinterest, and Reddit to suppress ādisinformation.ā

Jordan Peterson reveals DEI āexpertā serving as his āre-education coachā for opposing LGBT agenda

From LifeSiteNews
The Ontario College of Psychologists has selected Jordan Petersonās āre-education coachā for having publicly opposed the LGBT agenda.
In a June 16 op-edĀ publishedĀ by theĀ National Post, Canadian psychologist Dr. Jordan Peterson revealed that U.K. citizen Harry Cayton will guide him through the mandatory training.
āIn the last week ⦠the College has re-established contact, after months of unnecessary delay, which occurred in violation of their own order and guidelines. They have made me an entirely new offer, all the while insisting that this was their intent all along, which it most clearly was not,ā Peterson said.
āAll they really want, it turns out, is one two-hour session, which will not involve any āsocial mediaā training,ā he further explained. āThis will be conducted by a man ā one Harry Cayton ā a citizen of the U.K., who is neither social media expert, according to the College and is definitely not a psychologist.ā
Harry Cayton, a supposed expert on āprofessional regulation and governance,ā is known professionally for promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.
In 2021, he was appointed to conduct anĀ independent reviewĀ of the British Columbia Law Societyās governance structure, specifically examining how it supports DEI goals.
Additionally, in 2022, while appearing on Ascend Radioās podcast, CaytonĀ argued there should be more DEI regulations in professional associations.
Peterson has promised to make the details of his āre-educationā public, questioning why the College wishes to hide what Cayton plans to discuss with him.
āIf I am the intransigent fool, and he is the wizard to set things right, why not bless everyone interested with his wisdom, and allow them to participate in the restructuring of my psyche and eventual enlightening? Why the concern with confidentiality?ā he asked.
Peterson also explained that he will publicize the training āso that people who are interested can decide for themselves what is going on.ā
In January 2024, PetersonĀ lostĀ his appeal of the boardās decision to compel him to undergo mandatory re-education, meaning that he must attend the training or risk losing his license to practice psychology in Ontario.
Peterson alsoĀ revealedĀ that his ālegal options haveā now ābeen exhaustedā after Ontarioās highest courtĀ rejectedāÆhis appeal of the Collegeās 2022 ruling that his public political statements ran afoul of the administrative boardās rules and that he must therefore submit to, and personally pay for, a ācoaching programā on professionalism.
Peterson is a widely-known critic of Canadaās increasingly totalitarian government. He has also spoken frequently on the need for young men to accept and take on personal responsibility. While he has seeminglyāÆinspiredāÆothers to explore Christianity, he has not yet espoused a personal belief in any religion, though he affirmed his wife Tammy in her decision toĀ convertāÆto Catholicism in 2024.
