Americans like to say the first amendment relies on the second amendment, or as Mao Zedong put it, political power grows from the barrel of a gun. When I was younger I thought it was exaggerated, but now it seems like there really are fewer and fewer countries where you can criticise your government online without facing legal repercussions. If things continue at the current rate, in 5-10 years America might be the only English-speaking country with freedom of speech (as long as you don't criticise Israel).

- ulrashida 1y agoWhy do you think Canadians are restricted from criticizing government?
- logicchains 1y agoThe premise of most of the comments here is that individuals in the Canadian government may use this new power to disconnect their critics from the internet.
