Trudeau's Online Harms Bill Threatens Canadians' Basic Rights, Pro-freedom Group Warns

Anthony Murdoch : Mar 15, 2024  LifeSiteNews.com

"If passed into law, the Act will expose you, along with every other Canadian, to being prosecuted by the Canadian Human Rights Commission over anything you say that someone else might view as 'hateful.'"' -the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms
