This legislation undermines Canadians’ fundamental rights and freedoms and puts their civil liberties at risk. The passage of Bill C-11 would enable government censorship, empowering the Liberals to amplify voices it deems favourable and silence those it does not.and “level the playing field” for Canadian content creators. However, these claims fall completely flat in the face of evidence that it would do the exact opposite.
By forcing online platforms to favour nationality over engagement, creators in Canada are at risk of having their reach to global audiences limited, their viewership drastically reduced and their content demoted. Justin Trudeau should not be able to control what Canadians see on their playlist. Canadians can decide for themselves what they want to watch or listen to.
