Canadian Bill C-63 proposes life sentences for hate crimes

This country is actually brain rot freedom of speech is slowly falling away and even if Pierre gets put in to office there’s nothing he can do and I’m sure he doesn’t want to do any thing cause he a conservative copy of Trudeau Remember once a law gets put in its really hard to take it out

I suppose this doesn’t surprise me anymore. Our current government has a very heavy legislative hand and has a certain self-righteous and controlling tendencies. It borderlines on micromanagement and has led to massive government expansion. We’re talking a 30-40% increase in order to regulate and administer all of these new bills and programs. We’ve nearly doubled our federal debt yet completely tanked due to all of the benefits of micromanaging as you’d expect.

>Advocating genocide

>318 (1) Every person who advocates or promotes genocide is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for life.

>Offence motivated by hatred

>320. 1001 (1) Everyone who commits an offence under this Act or any other Act of Parliament, if the commission of the offence is motivated by hatred based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, or gender identity or expression, is guilty of an indictable offence and liable to imprisonment for life.

Not a serious country.

At this point, anyone supporting the current regime in Canada is commiting a hate crime.

I don't know the Canadian political situation, is there actually a chance this gets passed?

This is a proposed amendment to the 'Online Harms Act' and says hate crime 'under this act' so the changes are to enable possible life sentences for online speech, correct? We can all agree these things are bad, but calling for life imprisonment for hate speech (even for advocating genocide) seems utterly unhinged...
