Even outlets from across the pond can’t resist taking jabs at Canada’s prime minister.
Justin Trudeau is hated not only in Canada, but in countries all over the world, including the United States and England.
Highlighting this is British media outlet the Telegraph, which has published a series of opinion pieces that put the sitting Canadian prime minister to shame.
Columnist Stephen Pollard used Trudeau as a warning as to what will likely happen to England under its new prime minister.
According to one observer, Labour’s manifesto contains 27 references to new offices, regulators, quangos, councils and authorities. One of those includes the promise of ‘further measures to keep everyone safe online, particularly when using social media.’ Which sounds wonderful. Who could be opposed to that?
The problem, of course, is what ‘safe’ means. It is one of the immutable facts of repressive legislation that it is always claimed to be beneficial. And if you want to see what happens when a party as in thrall to progressive norms as Labour regulates online safety, look at Canada under Justin Trudeau’s Liberals.
Sure enough, the Online Harms Bill, which was introduced in the Canadian parliament in February, has the stated aim of protecting children from online victimization. In reality, however, it is a horrifyingly authoritarian bill which criminalizes thoughts deemed to be hateful, and which serves as a warning as to what a similarly minded Labour government may decide to do.”

Toronto 99 previously reported on the dangers of Trudeau’s Online Harms Bill, which if passed into law could see rule-breakers spend life in prison for social media posts the government deems to be “hateful.”
