Canadians are reportedly being arrested at their homes over social media posts written months or even years ago after Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government enacted a sweeping new “hate speech” law that dramatically expands the state’s power to prosecute online expression.
The alarming reports were revealed by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF).
The JCCF says it has begun hearing from Canadians who have been visited at home by government officials and charged over historical online posts following the implementation of Bill C-9, the “Combating Hate Act.”
Many of those arrested now potentially face years in prison for sharing wrongthink on social media, even if the posts were made before the law came into force.
This should get interesting... LOL
