fWotD Episode 2759: Sydney Newman Welcome to Featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia’s finest articles.The featured article for Saturday, 23 November 2024 is Sydney Newman.Sydney Cecil Newman (April 1, 1917 – October 30, 1997) was a Canadian film and television producer, who played a pioneering role in British television drama from the late 1950s to the late 1960s. After his return to Canada in 1970, Newman was appointed acting director of the Broadcast Programs Branch for the Canadian Radio and Television Commission (CRTC) and then head of the National Film Board of Canada (NFB). He also occupied senior positions at the Canadian Film Development Corporation and Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, and acted as an advisor to the Secretary of State.During his time in Britain in the 1950s and 1960s, he worked first with ABC Weekend TV, before moving across to the BBC in 1962, holding the role of Head of Drama with both organisations. During this phase of his career, he created the spy-fi series The Avengers and co-created the science-fiction series Doctor Who, as well as overseeing the production of groundbreaking social realist drama series such as Armchair Theatre and The Wednesday Play.The Museum of Broadcast Communications describes Newman as "the most significant agent in the development of British television drama." His obituary in The Guardian declared that "for ten brief but glorious years, Sydney Newman ... was the most important impresario in Britain ... His death marks not just the end of an era but the laying to rest of a whole philosophy of popular art."In Quebec, as commissioner of the NFB, he attracted controversy for his decision to suppress distribution of several politically sensitive films by French Canadian directors.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 01:14 UTC on Saturday, 23 November 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Sydney Newman on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Danielle.

In February 2019, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (“CRTC” or “Commission”), issued Telecom Notice of Consultation 2019-57 for the purpose of initiating a broad review of mobile wireless services and their associated regulatory framework. The Commission indicated that the review would focus on three key areas, including the future of mobile wireless services in Canada, with a focus on reducing barriers to infrastructure deployment. In inviting comments on the matter, an access issue arose which asked whether the CRTC's jurisdiction over access to municipal infrastructure extended to the installation of 5G small cells. This required the Commission to interpret the term “transmission line” in s. 43 of the Telecommunications Act, S.C. 1993, c. 38. The term “transmission line” is found in the Act's access regime. The access regime authorizes carriers like the appellants to go onto public property to construct, maintain, or operate “transmission lines” with the consent of municipalities. Where terms of access cannot be agreed upon, s. 43(5) accords the CRTC the essentially adjudicative role of considering applications from, and providing redress to, public service providers who cannot gain access to the supporting structure of a transmission line on terms acceptable to them. In the CRTC's view, “transmission line” could not include small cells or any technologies that transmit telecommunications wirelessly such that it did not have jurisdiction to resolve disputes in this area by way of the access regime. The Federal Court of Appeal confirmed this interpretation, and dismissed the appeal brought by Telus Communications Inc. Argued Date 2024-10-16 Keywords Administrative law — Appeals — Boards and tribunals — Regulatory boards — Jurisdiction — Wireless services — Deployment of 5G network — Access regime to public and other property — Transmission lines — CRTC determining that it lacks jurisdiction over carriers' access to municipal infrastructure for the installation of 5G small cells — Application of access regime to 5G small cells turning on interpretation of “transmission line” under Act — Does wireless transmission infrastructure (e.g., 5G small cells) constitute, or is it an integral part of, a “transmission line” within the meaning of s. 43 of the Telecommunications Act, SC 1993, c. 38?

In this interview, Peter Menzies, Senior Fellow with the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, former newspaper executive and past vice chair of the CRTC, discusses the state of the media in Canada. Menzies talks about how the industry is at a point where it needs to adapt or die, how it got to this point, who is to blame, the federal government online legislation, the CBC, and the growth of alternative news publications. Below is a column Menzies wrote for The Hub. By Peter Menzies, November 22, 2023 Twenty years ago, it should have been obvious to all that the jig was up for newspapers and journalism was going to need a new ride. Print had a good run—almost 600 years—but the invention by Tim Berners-Lee of the World Wide Web meant the era of massive presses and the power they bestowed on their owners was coming to an end. The only question, once Craigslist and Kijiji began boring holes in classified advertising, the economic foundation of newspapers, was whether there would even be time to save the furniture. Since the turn of the century, there have only been two alternatives for legacy news organizations: adapt or die. While there has been some evidence of success in terms of the former, public policy support has ignored new ideas in favour of propping up the ones everyone knows won't make it. The results have ranged from inconsequential to catastrophic. In Canada, as author and academic Marc Edge has detailed in his most recent book, The Postmedia Effect, the possibilities for newspapers to adapt have been severely limited by the nation's largest and dominant chain's business and ownership structures. Thousands of jobs have been cut to ensure high-interest debt payments can be made to its U.S. hedge fund owners. Easy to blame management, one supposes, but hedge funds gotta hedge and the primary fault for the mess that is Canada's news industry belongs squarely at the door of the nation's public policymakers. Sadly, outdated foreign ownership regulations restricted the supply of qualified buyers for media organizations, which depressed the cost of acquiring newspapers to a level that facilitated their acquisition en masse by Southam, then Hollinger, then Canwest, then Postmedia. With every step, competition was suppressed through increasingly consolidated ownership only to find the nation's largest newspaper chain owned by Americans. You can't make that up. Piling on, the Competition Bureau in 2015 inexplicably approved Postmedia's acquisition of Quebecor (Sun) Media's newspapers based on the “lack of close rivalry” between newspapers such as the Calgary Herald and the Calgary Sun and “the incentive for the merged entity to retain readership and maintain editorial quality in order to continue to attract advertisers.” All said with a straight face. Anyone who had actually worked in the business—I put in shifts at both the Calgary Sun and the Calgary Herald in their halcyon days—would know that this is sheer nonsense justified only by the extreme narrowness of the analysis the Bureau undertook. Today, the only distinguishable difference in content between the Herald and the Sun is that Don Braid writes a column for the Herald, and Rick Bell writes one for the Sun—a pretense of competition that appears to have allowed both to extend their careers well beyond those of thousands of their colleagues. “No solutions can be found until the issue of the CBC is dealt with.” Thirty years ago, Bell and Braid shared more than 250 newsroom colleagues covering events in a city of fewer than 800,000 people. Today, reflective of their business's demise, a couple of dozen survivors cling to the Herald/Sun lifeboat in a city approaching 1.5 million. Their presses and even their buildings have been sold to feed the hedge fund. Implementation of policies designed to sustain business models that produce results such as these in the hope of “saving journalism” is self-evidently unwise. We live at a time when innovation and entrepreneurship—virtues that are fuelled by competition and suppressed by consolidation—are desperately needed. While those are clearly lacking in the newspaper industry (laudable exceptions apply at the Globe and Mail, Le Devoir, and a plethora of digital startups) it's just as unlikely journalism can find salvation in the arms of Canada's heavily regulated broadcasting industry. For it, with exceptions acknowledged, the provision of news has always been primarily a regulatory obligation and not a core business proposition. Broadcasters are in the business of entertaining people with music, drama, chat, and related programming and have long acknowledged there is little or no money in them for news. All too often, it's just regulatory rent. For those who may believe, though, the ponderous regulatory processes in place at the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) make the entrepreneurship and innovation needed to adapt in an era of massive technological change almost impossible. But all that is now as may be. Rear view mirrors may help protect from encroaching harms but they are not at all useful in terms of actually going places. And journalism clearly needs a new car and new drivers if it is to thrive as a public good. Any doubt that societies require trustworthy and shared sources of information to maintain a peaceful social compact should have been erased by the events of the past few weeks. It is clear from the protests and virulent antisemitism that erupted in the wake of the Hamas attack on Israel that large numbers of Canadians are forming their opinions based not on differing interpretations of the facts but on very incompatible understandings of current reality. In these circumstances, and in this instance at least, the common ground necessary to establish a healthy public square of ideas simply doesn't exist. Without such a venue, societies collapse into warring tribes. But before we can even begin to explore the complexity of THAT problem, there needs to be a sustainable path forward for fair, balanced, and accurate news gathering and delivery. The federal government's best efforts to make that happen have been disastrous. The Online News Act has done more harm than good, with news providers losing access to audiences through Facebook and Instagram while an even more disastrous Google news boycott hovers menacingly over the industry. The five-year-old journalism labour tax credit hasn't stopped newsrooms from continuing to shrink. And while the Local Journalism Initiative has created temporary employment opportunities in news “deserts”, it didn't stop the Alaska Highway News, as just one example, from folding last month. Worse, there is increasing evidence to suggest that the more the public becomes aware of direct government funding to journalism organizations, the less likely it is to trust those organizations and label reporters as toadies with labels such as “#JustinJournos.” Should the government change, they would no doubt be #Pierre'sPravda. None of this ends well. What Canada desperately needs instead is a multi-pronged, coordinated national strategy based on current economic and market realities that will allow journalism to flourish again. A few months ago, Konrad von Finckenstein and I tried to get the ideas rolling with our policy paper for the Macdonald Laurier Institute, “And Now, The News”. Its two flashiest recommendations called for the establishment of a truly independent journalism sustainability fund supported by contributions from web giants such as Meta, Google, and others and, vitally, the de-commercialization of the CBC. The CBC, already government-funded, would not be eligible to draw from this fund, which we proposed should be supported by reasonable levies on tech companies and would only be available to companies whose primary business is the production of news. I have some sympathy for those who would argue that such a fund would best be used to support entrepreneurship as opposed to simply propping up what commentator Jen Gerson has labelled “zombie” newspapers that refuse to either adapt or die. But our proposal would nevertheless eschew such distinctions and make the fund accessible to all industry-verified news organizations solely on a per capita/journalist basis. News providers would still be free to make deals with social media to build readership and make other commercial deals with digital platforms as both parties see fit. But that, on its own, doesn't solve the problem. In fact, no solutions can be found until the issue of the CBC is dealt with. It is one thing to have a public broadcaster. But today's CBC is not that. It has evolved into a publicly funded commercial broadcaster and online content provider. Even its radio content, while broadcast free of advertising over the air, is repurposed to build online audiences and revenue in direct competition with news startups and legacy media attempting to transition into vibrant digital platforms. No industry can survive, let alone prosper, when the government subsidizes one commercial entity—in this case with $1.2 billion annually—to the detriment of all others. There certainly can be an important role for a national, truly public news provider. But CBC must be de-commercialized everywhere it operates, its mandate sharply re-focused, and its content made available at no charge through a Creative Commons license to other domestic news organizations. The removal of the CBC's ability to sell advertising would immediately free up $400 million in revenue for which news organizations could compete. As an added benefit, Canada would get a re-focused public broadcaster, and free access to its news content would allow all journalism providers to benefit from, instead of being punished by, government funding of the CBC. Our other proposals include making subscriptions to news organizations 100 percent tax deductible—a move that would subsidize the consumption of credible news with a market-based incentive for those providing it. We also proposed that: All expenditures by Eligible News Businesses that involve investment in digital transformation technology are eligible to be claimed in their first year as capital cost allowances. Phasing out of the current labour tax credit over a period of five years, declining in value by 20 percent annually in order to wean news organizations from it gradually while they adapt to a more permanent policy framework. Phasing out of the Local Journalism Initiative over a period of five years, declining in value by $4 million per year and with adjustments that would make it available only to news organizations serving market areas of less than 100,000 people and limited to easily defined core coverage beats such as public safety, courts, school boards, and municipal councils. Phasing out of the Canada Periodical Fund, which is no longer relevant in the digital age, over the course of three years. Ensure that the CRTC is engaged in the development of national news policies so that it considers the entire scope of the news industry when contemplating conditions of license for broadcasters. To those, I would add maximizing the value of tax credits for contributions to news organizations structured as not-for-profit businesses. Neither I nor my policy paper co-author, who these days is occupied as interim federal ethics commissioner, pretended to have all the solutions. As we wrote when our paper was published, building a national news industry policy is a tricky business. What we believed was that the pattern of ad hoc subsidies, willful ignorance of the impact of a commercial CBC, fear of failure, and the ill-conceived Online News Act were nothing but trouble and that a thoughtful, multi-pronged national news industry policy was called for. It still is. When it's done—when all the ideas are out there and the best of them are implemented—news organizations will still only survive through the quality of their work. Not all companies will, or should, survive and, frankly, some need to get on with their dying and get out of the way of those building a future for journalism. Fretting over and attempting to preserve the past and its icons is emotionally tempting. But it will not give news organizations the fighting chance they need to transition from unstable business models to those capable of sustaining quality journalism in the years ahead. We are at the end of the end of an era. It's time to embrace a new genesis.

It was perhaps the ultimate example of the old adage that foreign policy in Canada is 100 per cent for domestic consumption Government House Leader Karina Gould sought (and did not receive) unanimous consent to expunge the entire Hunka episode from the official history “Get caught lionizing someone who fought for Hitler … and channel Stalin in response” Many seemed baffled by Gould's proposal to wipe the record clean, but it seems pretty obvious to me what the Liberals had in mind: They're so hopelessly shipwrecked up their own backsides that they actually thought they might productively accuse the Conservatives of being pro-Nazi for not agreeing to expunge the record. Or at least, they thought that was worth a try, at the cost of Gould's reputation   Poland's education minister says he's 'taken steps' to extradite Yaroslav Hunka https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/yaroslav-hunka-poland-minister-extradite-1.6978266 Poland's education minister says he has "taken steps" to effect the extradition to Poland of Yaroslav Hunka, a 98-year-old Ukrainian Canadian, after it emerged that the veteran served in the Nazi SS Galizien formation during the Second World War. Robert Currie, a law professor at Dalhousie University and an expert in extradition law, told CBC News Canada does not have a formal extradition agreement with Poland. "That doesn't prevent extradition. It just makes it a matter of more paperwork between the two governments," he said.Currie said Canada and Poland can agree to extradition in Hunka's case. Before that transfer could happen, he added, Poland would have to present evidence that Hunka committed a crime that Canada would recognize — he could not be extradited on the basis of his membership in the Nazi SS Galizien formation."We do not have crimes of association other than organized crime type-offences which are very, very specialized," he said. Other challenges to extradition in Hunka's case, Currie said, include his advanced age and the question of whether he is fit to stand trial. Hunka could also challenge any extradition in court, a process that could take years. The Netherlands refused an extradition request from Poland in 2020, citing concerns that judges in that country were not sufficiently independent of the Polish government. "When you have the government interfering with the courts, that gives the appearance of the potential for a fair trial being endangered, and that is an argument that a person can make [to avoid extradition]," Currie said.  B.C. Conservative leader under fire for likening teaching of sexuality, gender to residential schools https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-columbia/john-rustad-sept-30-tweet-1.6984159 John Rustad, MLA for Nechako Lakes, acknowledged the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation in a Sept. 30 post on X, formerly known as Twitter."Today we remember what happens when the Canadian government thinks it's better at raising children than parents," read Rustad's post on Saturday, which was also shared on his party's official Facebook page."I will always stand with parents." My tweet was not about the children and the impact that had on on the Indigenous people," said Rustad, a former minister of Aboriginal affairs and reconciliation with the B.C. Liberals, the party now known as B.C. United. "What happened to Indigenous people is obviously a very stark reminder of what happens when government does decide to interfere with the raising of children. And it's a very tragic."But in no way was I trying to compare students today to what students went through, but rather that what parents went through, and parents having their rights taken away, is not right at any level." Who started calling residential school burial sites mass graves? https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/first-nations-graves In the spring of 2021, a series of ground-penetrating radar surveys near the sites of former Indian Residential Schools uncovered anomalies that appeared to be consistent with children's graves. In the nationwide protests that followed, more than 60 Canadian churches were vandalized or destroyed, and statues were pulled down in virtually every major city. The surveys would help spawn a new holiday, Truth and Reconciliation Day, prompt an official visit by Pope Francis and result in Canadian flags being kept at half-mast for a record-breaking five consecutive months. And then, just last month, an excavation at the Pine Creek Residential School in Manitoba determined that 14 “anomalies” suspected to be children's graves were actually nothing. To date, of the hundreds of suspected graves identified starting in 2021, Pine Creek is the only one that has been followed up with an archeological dig. The preliminary claims of First Nations performing the surveys did not state that these were “mass graves,” that they were deliberately concealed or that they were the result of homicide. At least in the beginning, the claims of “mass graves” or mass murder would stem mostly from foreign news outlets. When the Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan announced a survey showing 751 unmarked graves near the site of the former Marieval Indian Residential School, Chief Cadmus Delorme was careful to say they were not a mass grave. Rather, these were plots within a larger Catholic cemetery whose headstones Delorme said had been removed by Catholic authorities. “This is not a mass grave site. These are unmarked graves,” he said.   Trudeau 'trying to crush free speech' with new podcast rules: Musk https://nationalpost.com/news/national/trudeau-trying-to-crush-free-speech-with-new-podcast-rules-musk-says/wcm/03dd1a06-998b-44c2-b52d-90f065c14d53 “Trudeau is trying to crush free speech in Canada,” the owner of X posted on his social-media site in a reply to journalist Glenn Greenwald. “Shameful.” Greenwald, the co-founder of The Intercept, said in his post to X that Canada is now “armed with one of the world's most repressive online censorship schemes.” The two were responding to changes announced on Friday by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission, which plans to “modernize Canada's broadcasting framework and ensure online streaming services make meaningful contributions to Canadian and Indigenous content.” The two were responding to changes announced on Friday by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunication Commission, which plans to “modernize Canada's broadcasting framework and ensure online streaming services make meaningful contributions to Canadian and Indigenous content.” Among the changes are requiring certain streaming services to provide information about their activities and setting conditions for streaming services to operate in Canada, including providing details about their content and subscribership. The second change is already in effect, the CRTC said on its website, while companies that need to provide information about their activities must do so by Nov. 28. Trudeau cuts defence spending to fund socialist pet projects https://nationalpost.com/opinion/trudeau-cuts-defence-spending-to-fund-socialist-pet-projects In July, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz met with their NATO allies in Vilnius, Lithuania, where they pledged their “enduring commitment to invest at least two per cent of our gross domestic product (GDP) annually on defence,” noting that, “in many cases, expenditure beyond two per cent of GDP will be needed in order to remedy existing shortfalls and meet the requirements across all domains arising from a more contested security order.” A few months before reaffirming his commitment to it at the summit, Trudeau reportedly told NATO members behind closed doors that Canada would never spend two per cent of GDP on defence. And indeed, late last week, we learned that his Liberal government is looking to cut $1 billion from the annual defence budget, which would further reduce the measly 1.3 per cent of GDP this country spent on defence last year. Speaking in front of a parliamentary committee on Thursday, Defence Minister Bill Blair said that, “The fiscal environment in Canada right now requires that when we are spending Canadian taxpayers dollars … we do it carefully and thoughtfully.” And he's absolutely right. But it seems a little rich from a government that can't seem to go a week without announcing millions in funding for high-speed internet in some remote part of the country or to virtue-signal for the woke cause du jour, and wastes tens of billions on its fruitless quest to forcibly decarbonize the economy. Having a military that's capable of defending your country's sovereignty may not seem to be “creating public value for Canadians,” as Blair suggested government expenditures should be, and may not be a vote-getter like dental or child care, two areas Treasury Board President Anita Anand insinuated the government needs to find savings in order to fund. Advocates say Ontario minimum wage increase to $16.55 an hour still not a living wage https://nationalpost.com/news/canada/advocates-say-ontario-minimum-wage-increase-to-16-55-an-hour-still-not-a-living-wage Ontario's minimum wage rises today to $16.55 an hour. The increase is tied to inflation, and is up 6.8 per cent from the previous rate of $15.50 an hour. Labour advocates and opposition critics have said Ontario should introduce a $20 minimum wage The Ontario Living Wage Network says a living wage in the Greater Toronto Area is around $23 an hour.

This is Garrison Hardie with your CrossPolitic Daily News Brief for Thursday, October 5th, 2023. Redballoon Not so long ago, the American dream was alive and well. Employees who worked hard were rewarded, and employers looked for people who could do the job, not for people who had the right political views. RedBalloon.work is a job site designed to get us back to what made American businesses successful: free speech, hard work, and having fun. If you are a free speech employer who wants to hire employees who focus on their work and not identity politics, then post a job on RedBalloon. If you are an employee who is being censored at work or is being forced to comply with the current zeitgeist, post your resume on RedBalloon and look for a new job. redballoon.work, the job site where free speech is still alive! www.redballoon.work https://www.breitbart.com/environment/2023/10/03/the-guardian-climate-change-has-made-rainstorms-20-wetter/ The Guardian: Climate Change Has Made Rainstorms ‘20% Wetter’ The UK-based Guardian newspaper has made the remarkable assertion that rainstorms are now 20 percent “wetter” than they used to be, thanks to climate change. New York City’s recent storm and accompanying flooding show the “unmistakable influence of the climate crisis,” the Guardian contended Monday, warning the city may not be “prepared for severe climate shocks.” The type of storm seen on Friday “is now 10-20% wetter than it would have been in the previous century, because of climate change,” the Guardian alleged, citing a new “rapid attribution study.” The Guardian said that such a pounding rainfall is “a symptom of a warming planet” because a hotter atmosphere is “able to hold more moisture.” Curiously, at this time last year, the Guardian declared that droughts are “at least 20 times more likely” than without “human-caused global heating.” In Monday’s article, the newspaper cited climate expert Tommaso Alberti, who said the rainstorm that hit New York was predictable and “aligns with climate change projections.” Human-driven climate change is the “primary driver” of major storms, which underscores “the urgent need for climate mitigation and adaptation efforts,” Alberti argued. Michael Mann, who invented the thoroughly debunked hockey stick graph and has falsely presented himself as a Nobel Prizewinner, agreed that the New York storm was clearly attributable to global warming. “New York is experiencing a very clear increase in these extreme – more than 2in per hour – rainfall events, and that’s clearly tied to a warming atmosphere,” he said. Rohit Aggarwala, the New York City commissioner of environmental protection, has also blamed the city’s reprehensible response to the storm on climate change, a convenient, if mendacious, dog-ate-my-homework excuse. “The sad reality is our climate is changing faster than our infrastructure can respond,” he said. Daniel Zarrilli, the former chief climate policy adviser to New York City, uttered similar lamentations. “It’s clear that our cities and our aging infrastructure were built for a climate that no longer exists, particularly as a warmed atmosphere holds and releases more water,” he said. Reuters joined in the climate change blame game as well, suggesting that New York City’s flooding is just part of the “new normal” ushered in by global warming. https://thepostmillennial.com/trudeaus-internet-censorship-plan-kicks-off-with-government-operated-streaming-registry?utm_campaign=64487 Trudeau's internet censorship plan kicks off with government-operated streaming registry Friday's announcement from the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) that online streaming services in Canada must register with the government agency has sent a chill throughout independent media. Critics say it is the beginning of a broad registry of all online news media, even if the CRTC is currently maintaining that a $10 million threshold exists for broadcasters before they must register. Previous CRTC vice-chairman and former editor of the Calgary Herald posted Monday on X: "Essentially and eventually, @crtceng intends to regulate everything on the Internet pretty much the way it regulates TV, radio and cable. Say g'bye to a free and open internet in Canada." Noted journalist Glenn Greenwald posted on X: "The Canadian government, armed with one of the world's most repressive online censorship schemes, announces that all "online streaming services that offer podcasts" must formally register with the government to permit regulatory controls." In a news release, the CRTC announced that it is setting out which online streaming services need to provide information about their activities in Canada. Online streaming services that operate in Canada, offer broadcasting content, and earn $10 million or more in annual revenues will need to complete a registration form by November 28, 2023." The declaration is part of the Trudeau government's Online Streaming Act, or Bill C-11, which was called a "dangerous first step towards government control of the internet" by Justice Centre for Constitution Freedoms President John Carpay, who wrote that "In the long run, the CRTC could end up regulating much of the content posted on major social media, even where the content is generated or uploaded by religious, political, and charitable non-profits." However, reading further down in the news release, the CRTC uses ambiguous language and apparently contradicts its own guidelines by stating, "online services that offer podcasts must register; however, individuals who use social media to share podcasts do not." The CRTC has previously stated that: "individuals that host podcasts on their own websites or make them available on a subscription service platform other than a social media service are not explicitly excluded from the Broadcasting Act under subsection 2(2.1)" University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist was quick to comprehensively comment on the CRTC announcement in an essay. Geist suggested the government's plans are "not as bad as critics would suggest, but not nearly as benign as the CRTC would have you believe." But Geist says the real danger of the CRTC's announcement is that it is "the thin edge of the wedge with the registration requirement being the first step toward a far broader regulatory framework." "In fact, the rationale for the CRTC to include many of the services is that without such information it is not well positioned to regulate. This creates an obvious contradiction: the Commission claims that the registration requirement is de minimis requiring the disclosure of only limited information but then also argues that such information is important to future decision making on compliance with the Broadcasting Act objectives," he writes. The CRTC hints that a broad registry is in the works: that "exempting online undertakings that provide news services from the requirement to register would prevent the Commission from having an adequate understanding of the players providing such services. Without information about the online broadcasting undertakings involved in the Canadian broadcasting system, it would be much harder for the Commission to develop policies aimed at implementing the above-noted policy objectives of the Broadcasting Act and conform to the proposed direction." The CRTC says "[a] third consultation is ongoing. It considers contributions traditional broadcasters and online streaming services will need to make to support Canadian and Indigenous content. The CRTC will hold a three-week public proceeding starting on November 20, 2023, and will hear from 129 intervenors representing a broad range of interests." https://www.foxnews.com/world/swiss-writer-called-journalist-fat-lesbian-sentenced-60-days-prison-lgbtq-groups-applaud-decision Swiss writer who called journalist 'fat lesbian' sentenced to 60 days in prison, LGBTQ groups applaud decision A court in Switzerland sentenced a writer and commentator to 60 days in jail for calling a journalist a "fat lesbian," and the decision is being lauded by LGBTQ+ groups. On Monday, French-Swiss polemicist Alain Bonnet, who goes by Alain Soral, was sentenced by the Lausanne court for the crimes of defamation, discrimination and incitement to hatred after he criticized Catherine Macherel, a journalist for Swiss newspapers Tribune de Geneve and 24 Heures, in a Facebook video two years ago. "This court decision is an important moment for justice and rights of LGBTQI people in Switzerland," said Murial Waeger, co-director of a lesbian activist group. "The conviction of Alain Soral is a strong signal that homophobic hatred cannot be tolerated in our society." In addition to the prison time, Soral was subsequently ordered to pay legal fees and fines totaling thousands of Swiss francs. Soral’s sentencing came after he called Macherel a "fat lesbian," criticized her work as a "queer activist" and said she was "unhinged" in a social media video, according to Swiss public broadcaster RTS. Pascal Junod, a lawyer for Soral, mockingly blasted the conviction for a "crime of opinion" in an email to The Associated Press. He said the case aimed to probe whether a person had "sinned against the dogmas of single thought." Soral will appeal to Swiss federal court and "if necessary" to the European Court of Human Rights, his lawyer added. In 2020, Swiss voters approved a measure that made it illegal to discriminate against people on the basis of sexual orientation. This conviction was not the first time Soral has gotten into trouble over his words as he was previously and repeatedly convicted in France for denying the Holocaust, which is a crime in France. He was sentenced to jail time in 2019 over the denials. https://dailycaller.com/2023/10/03/sports-governing-body-scraps-open-category-trans-athletes-no-one-signs-up/ Sports Governing Body Scraps ‘Open’ Category For Trans Athletes After No One Signs Up World Aquatics (WA), the international water sports governing body, announced in a press release Tuesday that it is getting rid of its transgender “open” category for the 2023 World Cup since no athletes had decided to sign up. WA said in August that it was opening a category for athletes to swim the 50-meter and 100-meter distances regardless of gender. After athletes failed to show, WA decided to scrap the category for the World Cup in Berlin, Germany, from Oct. 6 to Oct. 8 but noted that the “Open Category Working Group” would still consider reopening the division if demand increased in the future, according to the press release. “The World Aquatics Open Category Working Group will continue its work and engagement with the aquatics community on Open Category events,” the announcement reads. “Even if there is no current demand at the elite level, the working group is planning to look at the possibility of including Open Category races at Masters events in the future.” WA originally planned to debut the open category in July in Fukuoka, Japan, during its congressional meeting but later decided against it. The organization announced its new “gender inclusion policy” in 2022, which made it possible to create the “open category” for future competitions and required male athletes looking to compete in the female division to have transitioned and experienced no puberty symptoms before the age of 12, as well maintaining regular testosterone levels below 2.5 nanomoles per liter. “When World Aquatics instituted its Policy on Eligibility for the Men’s and Women’s Competition Categories, we committed to exploring the creation of an open category,” World Aquatics President Husain Al-Musallam said, according to the press release. “True to our word, a team of experts has diligently worked to make this a reality. I would like to thank all those who have helped World Aquatics to deliver this opportunity.” Other sport governing bodies have opted to not allow transgender athletes to compete in divisions outside of their biological sex, such as the International Cycling Union, which announced in July that males who had transitioned after puberty could not compete in the female category. The International Angling Sports Federation made a similar decision on Sept. 29 after England’s team said that it would boycott the world championship if men were allowed to compete with women.

Last night, journalist Glenn Greenwald broke the news that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission will require “online streaming services that offer podcasts” to register with the government and submit to regulation.Not only is this an infringement on the rights of Canadian citizens, but it is extremely similar to the trucker protest crackdown Sara witnessed last year.

Last night, journalist Glenn Greenwald broke the news that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission will require “online streaming services that offer podcasts” to register with the government and submit to regulation. Not only is this an infringement on the rights of Canadian citizens, but it is extremely similar to the trucker protest crackdown Sara […]

Kenneth Hopkins feels that he is passionate about truth and honesty in those around him. Sincerity in all people. He also feels that when you look for the truth you're on the closest path to God. Kenneth finds our society has been led astray by both its political and religious leaders. His involvement with the UFO phenomena has led to violations of my rights of privacy. With phone taps, listening devices found in my home, computer attacks that steal my research, mail interception, along with vehicle surveillance, he claims not to find any freedoms in the United States of America. He claims to have been a subject of the CIA's MK Ultra at the Hospital for Children in Boston at the age of 5 years old where he witnesses horrific brutality of other children. Kenneth claims that he writes and speaks the truth, and if this is the case, on tonight's show, he admitted to committing two murders. Kenneth says that often in our search for truth, we miss the target. Kenneth claims that the lies fed to us about the UFO phenomena have hurt many experiencers and abductees from knowing the truth about themselves. His work, and proof, include photographs of ETs (Interdimensional) and numerous saucers. He feels that when videos of these incidents, that he claims to have taken, will help people better understand this phenomena and not disbelieve those of us having these experiences.

Last week on Lean Out, we heard from Canadian journalist Jen Gerson. The response from listeners was overwhelming. You asked for more coverage of the collapse of our media, including, of course, controversial new legislation. Bill C-18 aims to save journalism in this country — but Tara's guest this week argues that it has instead “accidentally pushed the news industry into the abyss.” Peter Menzies is a former newspaper executive and a former vice chair of the CRTC, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. He's now a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute and a frequent commentator on the Canadian media.You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com

In this episode, Monica Song has a policy discussion on broadband with Ian Scott, former Chair of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). They discuss barriers, opportunities and topics like how well prepared Canada is for scaling up to seamless online access across cities and metropolitan regions.

Bill C-11, commonly known as the Online Streaming Act, has been riddled with controversy since its introduction in June of last year, through to its adoption as law in April 2023. Canada's first major reform of the Broadcasting Act since 1991, the Act aims to promote Canadian content on online streaming services, in part by extending the regulatory powers of the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). In this episode, we hear from Michael Geist, Canada Research Chair in Internet and E-commerce Law, on why the Act falls flat, and how it misunderstands the nature of on-demand streaming services. This conversation was recorded in January 2023, while Bill C-11 was in its third reading before the Senate.

We're back with special guest Matt Cundill from Sound Off Media, our podcast partner! Canadian Media circumcised themselves again today. Bell Media, Canada's largest broadcaster, TURNED OFF Radio stations across Canada, firing 1300 human beings in the process. The same week, they reported record earnings and profits, including MASSIVE government subsidies to KEEP Canadians working. Dean, Loch, and Matt have a combined 85 years in radio, and they discuss the following: - What does this mean for the future of Radio in Canada (no bueno) - Is it greed or progress that's killed the industry? - Where does TRUST in MSM factor into the death of traditional media - The future of digital media - can it replace free-to-air radio and cable (it already has) - Why media companies don't report on the ACTUAL state of their TERRIBLE business. - The opportunity for us Las Vegas is your Stanley Cup Champion! That's right: 6 years after they were born the Vegas Golden Knights beat the Florida Panthers with Win Lord Stanleys Mug and we talk about the perennial failure of those who still suck (Leafs, Oilers, ETC).

Now That Bill C-11 Is Law What's Next? - Interview With Peter Menzies Beat the censors, sign-up for our newsletter: https://firstfreedoms.ca/call_to_action_pages/stay_informed/ Peter Menzies spent three decades as a working journalist and newspaper executive, most notably with the Calgary Herald where he served as its editorial page editor, editor in chief and, finally, publisher. He won one National Newspaper Award for the detailed objectivity of a series outlining the contents of the Charlottetown Accord and another from the Association of Opinion Page Editors for a similarly objective project. He spent close to 10 years as a member of the Canadian Radio-television Commission, (CRTC), initially in a part-time capacity followed by four years as regional commissioner for Alberta and the Northwest Territories and then four more as Vice Chair of Telecommunications. Given his wide experience as a journalist, as a Vice Chair of CRTC, and his writings against Bill C-11 which is legislation that makes the CRTC the Canadian regulator of the internet, you will want to hear what Mr. Menzies has to share.  There is much for Canadians to be concerned about with government further regulating our speech.  You may follow Mr. Menzie's work as a Senior Fellow at the MacDonald Laurier Institute here:  https://macdonaldlaurier.ca/cm-expert/peter-menzies/ On Twitter: https://twitter.com/Pagmenzies Please note the views expressed by the individual(s) in this video are their own, and do not necessarily reflect the views or principles of the First Freedoms Foundation.

Bud Light has been subject to what many are calling the single most successful boycott in history! And they're crying uncle! The executives at Anheuser-Busch are indeed officially admitting defeat.  Another Soros-backed DA is getting kicked out and Fox News might get banned in Canada.   Highlights:  ●      “The Daily Mail is reporting that in a first-quarter meeting call with investors, Anheuser-Busch CEO Michel Doukeris, in their words, ‘unceremoniously disowned the disastrous Dylan Mulvaney stunt –  insisting it was 'not a campaign', an official ad campaign approved from the top.” ●      “Things are so bad that Bud Light is actually offering their distributers free beer to help offset the purchasing plunge. I'm not sure how that's going to help anything, given that no one's buying the beer in the first place, it's just going to take up more room with supply for which there's no demand!” ●      “It's being widely reported here that the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) has opened a public consultation on a complaint from an LGBTQ rights group to ban Fox News from Canadian cable television.” ●      “What red states like Missouri are doing is they're starting to transfer the way Circuit Attorneys are installed. Rather than getting directly elected by city residents, who keep putting in these Soros-backed leftist radicals, they're going to be appointed either by the governor or by the state District Attorney, and that way, we can finally put an end to all of these radical leftist DAs who are enforcing a de facto anarcho-tyranny on their respective populations.”    Timestamps:    [04:52] How the executives at Anheuser-Busch are distancing themselves to the Dylan Mulvaney stunt [12:00] On Bud Light doubling or tripling their ad spend for the summer [17:06] Why Canada may end up banning Fox News [22:47] How another Soros-backed DA is getting kicked out [27:45] Q&A Resources:  ●      Start the 24/7 Protection of Your Home and Equity Today!

The Bill Kelly Show Podcast: New questions about how the federal government handled a reported Chinese government plot to target MPs are being raised after Conservative MP Michael Chong said Thursday that a 2021 intelligence report on the matter was shared with the prime minister's national security and intelligence adviser. GUEST: Richard Brennan, Former Journalist with The Toronto Star covering both Queen's Park and Parliament Hill - The Online Streaming Act, or Bill C-11, has garnered the most scrutiny to date. The bill, which passed Parliament last week and has become law, allows the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to require platforms such as Spotify and YouTube to produce and promote Canadian content, as it does for radio and television stations. Bill C-11 will meddle with Canadians' ability to pick their own content and content creators' business, in the name of “protecting the economic interests of a niche of Canada's music and video industries,” according to the Canadian arm of the Internet Society. In a scathing submission, the non-profit group argues that “Bill C-11 seeks to turn the Internet into a mere extension of the Canadian broadcasting system – a dying artifact of 20th Century technologies.” GUEST: Justin Ling, Freelance Investigative Journalist who has written for the Globe and Mail, The Guardian and Vice - A "perfect storm" of factors including the 2018 election, inefficient practices and the COVID pandemic has left Ontario's trouble-plagued Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) "fundamentally failing" to provide swift justice, the province's ombudsman says. In a lengthy report published Thursday, Paul Dubé made 61 recommendations to address a backlog of cases at the tribunal that has ballooned to more than 38,000 applications. GUEST: Kayla Andrade, Founder of Ontario Landlords Watch

I'm afraid that Canada is now the most dangerous place in the world for freedom of speech. Look at this insane press conference just this week, from the provincial legislature in Ontario https://twitter.com/realchrisrufo/status/1643578610098356232 In case you missed it, she wants massive fines and even jail for being merely “offensive remarks” or “protests”. You probably didn't notice it, but I called her a "she", instead of "they-them." So I just broke her proposed law, right there. I misgendered her. That's “offensive” to her. It's pretty clear that she is offended all the time. You could say she is offended for a living. But there is no human right not to be offended. That's a counterfeit human right. Which now takes precedence over real human rights, like freedom of speech and freedom of thought. Canada's great history of civil liberties is coming to an end. A few weeks ago, Jyoti Gondek, the mayor of Calgary, Canada's fourth-largest city, announced the same thing: that anyone who says something she finds hateful or vitriolic, or lying should be arrested and fined. Some might say she is hateful and vitriolic and tells lies. Those aren't crimes by the way. That mayor publicly demanded that police arrest a pastor named Derek Reimer because she found him offensive. So they arrested Pastor Reimer, and jailed him — for being offensive.  There are a lot of arrests of peaceful political critics in Canada these days. Pastor Artur Pawlowski was jailed for a month and a half for keeping his church open during the lockdowns. Justin Trudeau invoked martial law and had peaceful trucker protesters arrested and jailed for the sin of embarrassing him on the world stage. He also seized the bank accounts of hundreds of other peaceful critics of his regime. In his defence, he did try to warn us about his beliefs, even before he was elected https://twitter.com/ezralevant/status/1626579644714557442 When a politician says he admires Communist China precisely because of its basic dictatorship, we should believe him. When Fidel Castro died, Trudeau wrote a eulogy like a son would write for a father. Cuban health care is a disaster. “while a controversial figure, both Mr. Castro's supporters and detractors recognized his tremendous dedication and love for the Cuban people who had a deep and lasting affection for “el comandante”." Is that what his “detractors” say, from their prison cells? That Castro was just a loveable old dictator who really had their best interests at heart? So gross. https://twitter.com/ezralevant/status/1621245655850303489 But here's the thing. Arresting peaceful protesters, deploying riot police to stomp on your critics, seizing bank accounts — it looks awful. It's messy. It's so obviously controlled by politicians and it's so obviously designed to stifle political dissent. But if you're going to silence someone, the way to do it in 2023 is much different from how Castor did it a generation ago. And Trudeau knows that. And while his allies are having noisy press conferences where they absolutely make it clear that they're all about silencing their political enemies, Trudeau is smarter than that. You see, the truly modern fascist uses the Internet, not the police, to censor people wherever possible. When you take over the Internet, there are no shocking TV images of cops beating up your opponents. It's all done online. There's nothing to see. And that's what I want to warn the world about — that's the message that everyone who loves or even just likes Canada needs to know: Trudeau has embarked on a massive legislative program to censor the Internet. He's going through it in four stages, the first of which is about to become law within weeks. Trudeau has four laws set up like dominos. The first leads to the second, which leads to the third and so-on. He's doing it in stages. If he were to do it all at once people might panic and rise up. But he's going it incrementally. But the first domino will fall in weeks maybe even days. BILL C-11 Later this month, Trudeau's majority in the Senate will approve bill C-11, which amends the Broadcasting Act. In a way, this is the most important stage, the first domino, because until now, the government hasn't been able to regulate what's on the Internet. Until now, only regular television and radio have been regulated by Trudeau and his hand-picked censors at the CRTC, the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission. It even sounds archaic, doesn't it? What's a radio-television? Is that like a motion picture or something? Anyways, that dinosaur regulator, which has been an utter failure and has driven so much talent out of Canada, will now control the Internet — by declaring that social media companies are now “broadcasters” that can be regulated like TV stations. This enactment amends the Broadcasting Act to, among other things, (a) add online undertakings — undertakings for the transmission or retransmission of programs over the Internet — as a distinct class of broadcasting undertakings” In the past, the government could only bully radio and TV stations into silencing voices the government didn't like. About 20 years ago, the Liberal government refused to renew the licence of a politically incorrect radio station in Quebec called Choi-FM — effectively killing it. It was only saved when 50,000 listeners marched in the streets of Quebec City, and another 5,000 went all the way to Ottawa to protest the censorship — only then did the government relent. Here's a news clip from the Parliament Hill protest: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-yDalFUU8Q That's incredible, and it was incredible to see other media support Choi-FM. These days, the mainstream media takes the lead in censoring and cancelling voices they don't like. So that's the main threat of C-11: it declares that Facebook and Google and YouTube and Twitter are now broadcasters. And they have to do what the government says, or they'll be punished like CHOI-FM was. You can see the outlines of what Trudeau plans to do with his new power. Look at the section. 9.1., called “conditions”. As in, Trudeau can now put editorial conditions on Internet companies. Conditions 9.1 (1) The Commission may, in furtherance of its ob- jects, make orders imposing conditions on the carrying on of broadcasting undertakings that the Commission considers appropriate for the implementation of the broadcasting policy set out in subsection 3(1), including conditions respecting…” and then a list of things. If I were Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk, I might object to a few of these conditions. Like this one: “9o) the provision to the Commission, by persons carrying on broadcasting undertakings, of any other information that the Commission considers necessary for the administration of this Act, including (i) financial or commercial information, (ii) information related to programming, (iii) information related to expenditures made under sections 11.1, and 35 (iv) information related to audience measurement, other than information that could identify any individual audience member So now social media companies — including Elon Musk's privately-held Twitter — now have to answer any private business question put to them by Trudeau. There are sixteen items in that list of conditions. But here's one that really worried me from a censorship point of view. It's subsection e. Trudeau can make orders regarding: "(e) the presentation of programs and programming services for selection by the public, including the showcasing and the discoverability of Canadian pro- grams and programming services…" So Trudeau can order Twitter, Facebook, Google, or YouTube to alter the algorithm to interfere with what you can find. Trudeau can force social media companies to “showcase” whatever content he wants and to alter the “discoverability” of it. So he can boost his friends and have companies hide his enemies. It effectively nationalizes social media — now it is all under Trudeau's control. So it's not just C-11. It's what comes after C-11 that's terrifying. Because once Trudeau has the power to regulate the Internet, only then will he reveal what he will do with it. And as we saw during the trucker convoy, he will suspend civil liberties if it suits him. BILL C-18 C-11 is just step one. But Trudeau already has another bill in Parliament called C-18, or the Online News Act. And just like C-11 makes social media companies “broadcasters” for Trudeau to regulate, C-18 creates a new thing, called “digital intermediaries. Here's how that's defined in the bill: "digital news intermediary means an online communications platform, including a search engine or social media service, that is subject to the legislative authority of Parliament and that makes news content produced by news outlets available to persons in Canada.” So that's a fancy way of saying any sort of search engine. And every social media platform has that, by the way. Not just explicit search engines like Google. But also YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, etc. Anything with a search engine, that if you type in something, like “carbon tax” or “Trudeau blackface” it returns a list of links for news stories. Just the headline, maybe the first sentence, and a link to click if you want to see more. Now, as you know, that's how the Internet works — things link to other things. For free. No one has to pay for a link, no one has to get paid for a link. People generally love getting linked to, since it sends traffic to what you're doing. If a bunch of people post a story to Facebook about a Rebel News story, we love it, because they click the link and come to our site, and that's good for us. In fact, many news companies pay to promote themselves on search engines — sometimes you see ads show up in the search results (marked as ads). So obviously if newspapers are advertising on Facebook or Google, it's because they see value in it. But what C-18 does is it forces social media companies and search engines to pay any news organization they link to. They are literally going to be compelled to pay to link to someone. Here's how a Liberal MP Lisa Hepfner put it: https://twitter.com/lisahepfner/status/1603134194909171714 gov't will always support quality, fact-based and local Canadian journalism in a fair digital marketplace. This bill makes it harder for big digital platforms like Facebook and Google to steal local journalists' articles and repost them without credit on one of their networks 3/3 Yeah, when Google links to a story, it's not stealing. That's disinformation, isn't it? But look at her language — the government will support quality, fact-based journalism. What does that mean? Well, again, it means only journalism that Trudeau likes will be subsidized. It's right in the law: Eligible news businesses — designation 27 (1) At the request of a news business, the Commission must, by order, designate the business as eligible if it 30 (a) is a qualified Canadian journalism organization as defined in subsection 248(1) of the Income Tax Act That qualified Canadian journalism organization designation is really a Canadian news licence — if you have it, it means Trudeau “trusts” you. If you don't, he demonizes you as misinformation. We applied for that QCJO status, and the government reviewed hundreds of Rebel News stories and bizarrely declared that what we do is not news. Huh? It's called Rebel News. It's not sports or weather or cooking. They literally said 99% of what we do isn't newsy. That's bizarre, and we are legally appealing that decision. But it's pretty obvious why we were denied, but hard-left-wing media groups like the Tides Foundation-backed National Observer get the designation: because they're in step with Trudeau's regime. So C-11 commandeers the Internet. And lets Trudeau manipulate the algorithm. C-18 makes big tech companies pay money to journalists in Canada — but only to the journalists that Trudeau likes, not the ones he doesn't like. That's handy. By the way, Facebook has said that if they're forced to pay hundreds of millions of dollars to link to Trudeau's favourite journalists, they just won't link to Trudeau's favourite journalists. They say it's not a moneymaker for them, and if Trudeau really thinks it's “stealing” to link to the Globe and Mail or whoever, then they'll stop doing it. Google is soldiering doing the same — and Trudeau calls that “blocking” news sites. Got it. So if you link to them, you're stealing. If you don't link to them, you're blocking them. The only solution is to give hundreds of millions of dollars — but only to journalists that Trudeau's hand-picked cronies approve. Not to Rebel News — we don't have a government news licence. So that's C-18, it's Trudeau's second censorship bill. BILL C-36 C-36 is the next one. It was actually introduced in the last Parliament but didn't get passed before the election was called. Trudeau has said they'll reintroduce it. It's terrifying. Because it doesn't just deal with money and algorithms. It gets right into what you can or can't say — and it has jail terms and huge fines if you say the things Trudeau doesn't like. Let me read to you its formal name, and you can get the picture:"An Act to amend the Criminal Code and the Canadian Human Rights Act and to make related amendments to another Act (hate propaganda, hate crimes and hate speech)” Yeah. Trudeau calls people haters all the time — Islamophobes, transphobes, racists, whatever. He usually just means those as insults. But now he means them as crimes. So if you oppose him, he'll call you names and charge you with crimes. If you don't believe me, read the bill. Just to start, hate propaganda is already in our Criminal Code. Section 318 of our Criminal Code already makes it a crime to advocate for genocide; section 319 makes it a crime to incite hatred. But C-36 goes much further. It's pretty brief. But it tries to criminalize feelings. Including hate: hatred means the emotion that involves detestation or vilification and that is stronger than dislike or disdain; It's totalitarian to pass laws telling people how to feel and think. You can't tell someone simply not to be upset; try that with your wife or husband: just order them not to feel bad; they'll feel worse. Hate often comes from an underlying grievance; if you don't deal with that in some way, you can “ban” hate all you like, but it won't work — in fact, you'll probably make it worse. So they've defined the feelings you're not allowed to have. And now they're going to ban it. You see, they've decided to regulate the Internet. They've got their bureaucrats at the CRTC through C-11. They're getting the big tech companies through C-18. C-36 is where they really come for you: Communication of hate speech 13 (1) It is a discriminatory practice to communicate or cause to be communicated hate speech by means of the Internet or other means of telecommunication in a context in which the hate speech is likely to foment detestation or vilification of an individual or group of individuals on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination. Who knows if something will foment hate? I'm pretty sure they'll say everything foments hate — these people are professionally offended, it's their job and their hobby and their sense of identity. For the purposes of subsection (1), a person who communicates or causes to be communicated hate speech continues to do so for as long as the hate speech remains public and the person can remove or block access to it. That means if you Tweeted or Facebooked something even years ago, even when you were a kid, you're still guilty of that hate crime today. There is no statute of limitations. You know, in real courts there's the idea of being able to confront your accuser. To look them in the eye and challenge them. Not here — Trudeau is setting up a secret course. Complaints about hate speech will be made in secret — and these secret complainants can get up to $20 grand for their complaints. It's a new industry: Non-disclosure of identity — Commission (8) The Commission may deal with a complaint in rela-tion to a discriminatory practice described in section 13 without disclosing, to the person against whom the com-plaint was filed or to any other person, the identity of the alleged victim, the individual or group of individuals who has filed the complaint or any individual who has given evidence or assisted the Commission in any way in dealing with the complaint, if the Commission considers that there is a real and substantial risk that any of those individuals will be subjected to threats, intimidation or discrimination. Secret courts, secret witnesses, secret complaints. A rival; an ex; a disgruntled former employee; or a political prankster. You can be sued forever, endlessly, and you won't even know by whom. You can be ordered to pay huge fines:  (b) an order to pay compensation of not more than $20,000 to any victim personally identified in the communication that constituted the discriminatory practice But there's something in here even more amazing: "pre-crimes”. Like in the movie Minority Report. Even if you haven't done anything yet, you can still be prosecuted. I'm not kidding: Fear of hate propaganda offence or hate crime 810.012 (1) A person may, with the Attorney General's consent, lay an information before a provincial court judge if the person fears on reasonable grounds that an- other person will commit (a) an offence under section 318 or subsection 319(1) 5 or (2)  (b) an offence under subsection 430(4.1);  (c) an offence motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on race, national or ethnic origin, language, colour, religion, sex, age, mental or physical disability, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, or any other similar factor. So even if someone hasn't broken the law yet, but you're afraid they might, you can go to court and strike first. And if a judge says your fear is reasonable, he'll lock up the person you're afraid of, even if that person hasn't done anything, doesn't do anything, or won't ever do anything. He'll issue an order against him. Do you think this just might, maybe, be abused? Getting your opponents locked up, even before they say anything? You can be put under house arrest, with a curfew; have your firearms seized; have an ankle bracelet put on you; be banned from using drugs or booze; things that normally happen only to convicted criminals who actually did something. THE ONLINE HARMS ACT And they saved the worst for last — the Online Harms Act, which hasn't been introduced yet, or given a number. C-11 uses a slow and dumb bureaucracy called the CRTC. C-18 is the same. C-36 includes huge fines and jail time, but at least involves some judges. But none of that is tough enough and punitive for Trudeau. So his final bill, out of the four, creates a new Internet censorship office, with the Orwelling name of "Digital Safety Commissioner of Canada.” • The Act should provide for the establishment of the Digital Safety Commissioner, whose functions are to: • Oversee and improve online content moderation, by: • Administering and enforcing obligations; • Engaging with and considering the particular needs of and barriers faced by groups disproportionately affected by harmful online content such as women and girls, Indigenous Peoples, members of racialized communities and religious minorities and of LGBTQ2 and gender-diverse communities and persons with disabilities; and • Supporting platforms in reducing harmful content affecting peoples in Canada. • Engage in partnerships, education outreach activities, and research, to help fulfill the policy objectives of the Act. So an ultimate, unaccountable, hunter-killer to silence anything “harmful”. And by harmful, they mean whatever this censor doesn't like. Trudeau proposes extreme ideas like website takedowns within 24 hours — no time for any sort of hearing. If Trudeau or his team don't like something, they order a social media company to take it down, and it must come down within 24 hours. https://www.michaelgeist.ca/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/Twitter-Submission-Online-Harms-Consultation. Twitter's response to this — and let me emphasize, this is from before Elon Musk took over Twitter. So this was when Twitter was pretty pro-censorship itself. Twitter wrote a private memo to Trudeau, warning that this is literally the stuff that North Korea does — they made that comparison: ISSUE: 24-HOUR TAKEDOWN REQUIREMENTS Twitter opposes the recommendation of a time limit on “addressing” any content “flagged” by any person in Canada as “harmful” content. • The proposed time limit does not allow for judicious, thoughtful analysis in a manner that balances the right to freedom of expression in Canada with the right to freedom from discrimination and prejudice. • According to existing research and analysis, the proposed system has a high probability of negatively impacting marginalized, racialized and intersectional groups. More information from Prof. Suzie Dunn at Dalhousie University can be found here. • The 24-hour proposal should be abandoned. Content should be addressed as quickly and as possible and within the scope of existing Canadian jurisprudence, terms of service and rules by the online communication service providers. • Further, any standard applied in the digital world should also be applied in real life. For example, law enforcement should be required to both launch an investigation within 24 hours of “flagging” as well as remove any hateful content - graffiti on a statue for example - that appears within 24 hours across the country. And here's Twitter comparing Trudeau's proposal to China: • ISSUE: WEBSITE BLOCKING The proposal by the government of Canada to allow the Digital Safety Commissioner to block websites is drastic. People around the world have been blocked from accessing Twitter and other services in a similar manner as the one proposed by Canada by multiple authoritarian governments (China, North Korea, and Iran for example) under the false guise of ‘online safety,' impeding peoples' rights to access information online. CONCLUSION Four bills. Falling like dominos. C-11, C-18, C-36 and the Online Harms Act. Each one building on the other, to build a censorship regime whose only comparison is places like North Korea. Trudeau has the support of the NDP, so these simply will become the law. And it's not like any of the mainstream media are actively opposing them — the opposite; they're excited about Trudeau forcing Big Tech to pay them money for links. The media have been bought off, again. Canada is in trouble, and the watchdogs who are supposed to be on guard are all sleeping. I promise that we hear at Rebel News will do what we can. And I see that as three things. Keeping you up to date on the state of censorship in Canada. So, reporting the news — say, have you heard about all of this from the CBC state broadcaster? Yeah, I didn't think so. Making the arguments for why this is morally wrong, legally wrong, impractical and downright unCanadian. So, giving you the facts, and the arguments. What Rebel News does best: actually fighting the good fight. All week I have been speaking with constitutional lawyers about how to fight this censorship onslaught. In court. Because if we don't, who will? I have commissioned an expert litigation law firm to prepare to fight these bills in court. In fact, they are working on the lawsuit already; we're not even waiting for the bills to be officially proclaimed — we're working on it now. We will sue Trudeau in court — and hold him to the Charter of Rights. I know it's a long shot. We'll be outspent ten two one. They will have a swarm of lawyers there to fight against us. But we can win. I know, because we've beaten him twice, on censorship battles. In 2019, he banned us from attending the election debates — we took him to court and won. He tried again in 2021. That time he banned us, and when we sued him, he literally had seven government lawyers against us. But we won again. Twice we beat him. Against all odds. Maybe there's some hope left. This is the battle of 2023. What the trucker convoy was last year, the Internet battle is this year. Help us if you can — learn the facts, learn the arguments, and then help us take this Castro mini-me to court.

It's a Fairbanks Friday edition of the Locked On FLORIDA Panthers Podcast, as Armando Velez(@Mandoman12) is joined by Nick Fairbanks(@prudentia0) to discuss the Panthers 5-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens. The Panthers played mostly a 60 minute game. Panthers let a fluke goal less than 2 minutes into the game, but the Panthers were quick to respond to tie the game at 1 and took over from there. Panthers were not their sharpest on Wednesday against Toronto, but it was a 180 against Montreal when the team was committed to get their bodies in front of shot, help on the board battles and have clean breakouts. The new line of Luostarinen-Lundell-Tkachuk continues to buzz as Anton Lundell gets two goals on the night(3 goals in his last 2) and Matthew Tkachuk getting the hat trick on the night, his second as a Panther. Alex Lyon over the last 48 hours has stopped 56/60 shots(.933 save percentage) to help the Panthers get two big wins in Canada. Now they have a chance to salvage the road trip as they take their show on the road to Columbus on Saturday Night. The guys will also discuss Keith Tkachuk's comments on a Canadian Radio station and how the Panthers have responded since.

Guest: Jon Festinger, adjunct professor at the Allard School of Law The federal government is changing how the internet is regulated in Canada. Bill C-11, also known as the Online Streaming Act, is new legislation that will give the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) the task of regulating companies like Netflix, YouTube and TikTok, similar to what it does with radio and television broadcasting. Many critics point out that internet streaming is very different and question if a similar approach is the right idea. There are also concerns about where user-generated content fits in. Jon Festinger, an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia's Peter A. Allard School of Law and a faculty member in the Centre for Digital Media, joins “This Matters” to discuss. This episode was produced by Brian Bradley, Paulo Marques and Raju Mudhar.

How do you regulate the Internet? It's a question that the federal government in Canada is in the process of trying to answer. But its approach is generating controversy, with several bills raising concerns around freedom of expression.Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, was recently rushed through the House of Commons in a remarkable manner that led one Conservative MP to call it an “affront to democracy.” And Tara's  guest on the podcast today says a subsequent ruling from the CRTC — the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission — on a CBC/Radio-Canada segment is a “freedom of expression wake up call.”Michael Geist is a law professor at the University of Ottawa, the Canada Research Chair in Internet and e-Commerce Law, and a member of the Centre for Law, Technology and Society. He's also a host of the Law Bytes podcast.NOTE: This podcast was recorded on July 5. Today, the CBC responded to the CRTC ruling, stating, “We simply do not accept the CRTC's interference in journalism in Canada.” Also, as Michael Geist notes on his blog today, Bill C-11 has now become a trade issue between the United States and Canada.

We talk about how Canada's Bill C-11 could limit outside access to Canada's consumers and even limit companies in Canada from reaching people in Canada. All this controlled by the government.  About Canada's Bill C-11On February 2, 2022, the Government of Canada introduced Bill C-11, referred to as the Online Streaming Act (Bill). The Bill, which seeks to amend Canada's Broadcasting Act (Act), aims to modernize Canada's broadcasting framework, notably by empowering the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to regulate “online undertakings,” a term that will encompass a range of undertakings, including video and music streaming service providers, as well as social media platforms. Underpinning the Bill are a number of broadcasting policy objectives, including supporting Canadian content creators, increasing access to Canadian content and its visibility, providing increased opportunities to produce programming in French and in Indigenous languages, and promoting diversity and inclusion in the broadcasting sector.
