People should understand, Canada's heritage minister (Guilbeault) has been trying to implement an online blocking system for a while now.
The current government (Liberals) have shut down parliament, during covid, only to prevent investigations into their WE charity corruption.
When a 3rd party candidate Maxime Bernier attempted his own party ... the media by law had to give him equal air time, but his reach was censored (ex: they set his youtube videos to unlisted).
The "Rebel Media" a right wing news org was prevented from entering a federal debate. They had to get an 11th hour injunction to be let in, and even after, the Liberal leader (Trudeau) refused to answer any questions.
This will be used to silence political dissidence, and "hate speech" law violators.

- Ticklee 5y agoI don't reckon he is honestly, deindexing and blocking piracy sites is just another facet of the same censorious tendencies.
- codeecan 5y agoHeres an article from Feb 2020 (last year) were Guilbeault was backtracking after a report came out that the government wanted to issue licenses for content creators. https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/2020/02/03/liberals-say-they-will-never-licence-news-media-but-heres-what-they-might-do.html https://www.thestar.com/politics/federal/2020/02/03/liberals... > Asked if the government would block foreign websites like Breitbart News, the New York Times ... if they failed to comply ... Guilbeault said no one has said sites should be blocked in Canada but he added, “Frankly, I’m not sure I see what the big deal is.” These are the people you're dealing with, they don't see any issue with this type of censorship. Authoritarian regimes don't happen at once, they grow over time.
