Mark Carney Vows Internet Speech Crackdown if Elected

It was supposed to be a routine campaign pit stop, the kind of low-stakes political affair where candidates smile like used car salesmen and dish out platitudes thicker than Ontario maple syrup. Instead, Mark Carney found himself dodging verbal bricks in a Hamilton hall, facing hecklers who lobbed Jeffrey Epstein references like Molotovs. No rebuttal, no denial. Just a pivot worthy of an Olympic gymnast, straight to the perils of digital discourse.
“There are many serious issues that we’re dealing with,” he said, ignoring the criticism that had just lobbed his way. “One of them is the sea of misogyny, antisemitism, hatred, and conspiracy theories — this sort of pollution online that washes over our virtual borders from the United States.”
Ah yes, the dreaded digital tide. Forget inflation or the fact that owning a home now requires a GoFundMe. According to Carney, the real catastrophe is memes from Buffalo.
The Ghost of Bills Past
Carney’s new plan to battle the internet; whatever it may be, because details are apparently for peasants, would revive a long-dead Liberal Party obsession: regulating online speech in a country that still pretends to value free expression.
It’s an effort so cursed, it’s been killed more times than Jason Voorhees. First, there was Bill C-36, which flopped in 2021. Then came its undead cousin, Bill C-63, awkwardly titled the Online Harms Act, which proposed giving the Canadian Human Rights Commission the power to act as digital inquisitors, sniffing out content that “foments detestation or vilification.”
Naturally, it died too, not from public support, but because Parliament decided it had better things to do, like not passing it in time.
But as every horror franchise teaches us, the villain never stays away for long. Carney’s speech didn’t include specifics, which is usually code for “we’ll make it up later,” but the intent is clear: the Liberals are once again oiling up the guillotine of speech regulation, ready to let it fall on anything remotely edgy, impolite, or, God forbid, unpopular.
“Won’t Someone Think of the Children?”
“The more serious thing is when it affects how people behave — when Canadians are threatened going to their community centers or their places of worship or their school or, God forbid, when it affects our children,” Carney warned, pulling the emergency brake on the national sympathy train. It’s the same tired tactic every aspiring control freak uses, wrap the pitch in the soft fuzz of public safety and pray nobody notices the jackboot behind the curtain.
Nothing stirs the legislative loins like invoking the children. But vague terror about online contagion infecting impressionable minds has become the go-to excuse for internet crackdowns across the Western world. Canada’s Liberals are no different. They just dress it up and pretend it’s for your own good.
“Free Speech Is Important, But…”
Former Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge, doing her best impression of a benevolent censor, also piped up earlier this year with a classic verbal pretzel: “We need to make sure [freedom of expression] exists and that it’s protected. Yet the same freedom of expression is currently being exploited and undermined.”
Protecting free speech by regulating it is the sort of logic that keeps satire writers out of work.
St-Onge’s lament about algorithms monetizing debate sounds suspiciously like a pitch from someone who can’t get a word in on X. It’s the familiar cry of technocrats and bureaucrats who can’t fathom a world where regular people might say things that aren’t government-approved. “Respect is lacking in public discourse,” she whined on February 20. She’s right. People are tired of pretending to respect politicians who think governing a country means babysitting the internet.

Governments and corporations are working hand in hand to control what you can say, what you can read; and soon, who you are allowed to be.
New laws promise to “protect” you; but instead criminalize dissent.
Platforms deplatform, demonetize, and disappear accounts that step out of line.
AI-driven surveillance tracks everything you do, feeding a system built to monitor, profile, and ultimately control.
Now, they’re pushing for centralized digital IDs; a tool that could link your identity to everything you say and do online. No anonymity. No privacy. No escape.
This isn’t about safety, it’s about power.

2025 Federal Election
Liberals edge closer to majority as judicial recount flips another Ontario seat
From LifeSiteNews
The Liberal Party is two seats away from a majority government after a recount flipped an Ontario riding in its favor, marking the second riding to switch to the Liberals post-election.
The chances of a Liberal Party majority government are increasing after another judicial recount flipped a riding.
On May 16, a judicial recount switched the southern Ontario riding of Milton East-Halton Hills South to a Liberal victory with a 21-vote difference between the Liberal and Conservative parties.
“Just before midnight, an official recount confirmed the outcome of the race in our riding of Milton East-Halton Hills South,” Liberal Kristina Tesser Derksen celebrated on X.
“It is a profound honour to be elected as your MP,” she continued.
On election night in April, the riding had been called for the Conservative Party, which previously took the riding with a narrow lead. However, a judicial recount is automatically ordered when the top two candidates are separated by less than 0.1 percent of the valid votes cast.
According to election laws, the ballots must be recounted in the presence of a provincial or territorial Superior Court judge.
The riding is the second to flip in the Liberal’s favour after post-election recounts. Earlier this month, the Quebec riding of Terrebonne flipped to the Liberals, beating the Bloc Québécois by one vote.
There are two remaining judicial recounts in Canada. One is the Newfoundland and Labrador riding of Terra Nova-The Peninsulas, where the Liberal candidate won by 12 votes.
The second is the Ontario riding of Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore, where the Conservative candidate won by 77 votes.
Currently, the Liberal Party, led by Prime Minister Mark Carney, holds 170 seats in Parliament, two away from a majority government. The Conservatives hold 143 seats, the Bloc Québécois 22, the NDP seven and the Green Party one.
Under Carney, the Liberals are expected to continue much of what they did under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, including the party’s zealous push in favor of euthanasia, radical gender ideology, internet regulation and so-called “climate change” policies. Indeed, Carney, like Trudeau, seems to have extensive ties to both China and the globalist World Economic Forum, connections that were brought up routinely by conservatives in the lead-up to the election.
2025 Federal Election
Judicial recounts could hand Mark Carney’s Liberals a near-majority government
From LifeSiteNews
Three official federal recounts are underway in ridings and the Liberal Party could gain one more seat, leaving it just one short of establishing a majority government.
Three judicial recounts are underway in Canadian federal ridings from the April 28 federal election, the outcomes of which could mean Prime Minister Mark Carney’s Liberals possibly securing a majority government if he gets help from the New Democratic Party.
A recent recount in the Quebec riding of Terrebonne saw the Liberals win by one vote over the Bloc Québécois, the closest election call since 1963.
There is a recount underway in the Terra Nova-The Peninsulas riding in Newfoundland and Labrador that the Liberals won by just 12 votes on election night.
In another riding, in Milton East-Halton Hills South, Ontario, a recount is taking place after the Liberals won by only 29 votes.
In the riding of Windsor-Tecumseh-Lakeshore, Ontario, a recount is occurring after the Conservatives won the riding by 77 votes.
Should the Liberals manage to hold onto and flip another riding in their favor, they would be ever closer to forming a majority government.
Carney was elected Prime Minister after his party won a minority government. Carney beat out Conservative rival Pierre Poilievre, who lost his seat. The Conservatives managed to pick up over 20 new seats, however, and Poilievre has vowed to stay on as party leader for now before running in a by-election.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, the interim leader of Canada’s far-left New Democratic Party (NDP) has claimed the Liberal Party is contacting its MPs to find out whether they want to cross the floor to help secure a majority government under Carney.
The Liberals have 170 seats, just two shy of a majority. The NDP has seven seats, which is 12 short of official party status. Former NDP leader Jagmeet Singh resigned after losing his seat in the April election.
Under Carney, the Liberals are expected to continue much of what they did under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, including the party’s zealous push in favor of abortion, euthanasia, radical gender ideology, internet regulation, and so-called “climate change” policies.
