NOTE: Please consider signing the petition (see end paragraphs)……….
‘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 cautioned.
One of Canada’s leading pro-freedom constitutional groups warned that the federal government’s Online Harms Act is a dangerous piece of legislation that is not only an “assault” on free speech but will be used to take away “basic rights” by allowing the return of “Kangaroo courts.”
“If the Online Harms Act becomes law, the Canadian Human Rights Commission will not even need to identify a victim of your supposedly ‘hateful’ speech. The Commission will be able to prosecute you on the basis of an anonymous complaint so that you cannot face your accuser, ask questions of your accuser, or even know the name or identity of your accuser.”
‘Unelected and unaccountable bureaucrats’ will have insane new powers
To push back against the Online Harms Act, the JCCF created a petition that calls upon “Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada Arif Virani, and all Parliamentarians, to stop the Online Harms Act.”
The petition, which can be signed here, notes that “No Canadian should face life imprisonment for their expression.”

“If this account of the bill is true, it’s Lettres de Cachet all over again,” Atwood wrote on X, formerly known as Twitter, referring to secret letters sent by the King of France authorizing citizens to be imprisoned without a trial.
“The possibilities for revenge false accusations + thoughtcrime stuff are sooo inviting!” she added sarcastically. “Trudeau’s Orwellian online harms bill.”
