Oh, I'm sure that was entirely unintentional. /s

Mark Carney’s liberals attacking Canadians protesting against genocide again…
Just means we need more protests, like it should be a daily occurrence.
How is criminalizing "obstruction and intimidation aimed at protecting places of worship and institutions -- including schools, daycares and seniors’ residences" controversial?
How are obstruction and intimidation defined in the law? What is haye being fefined as?
If you haven't noticed, people holding signs that say "end the genocide" or "free Gaza" are being targeted as hate speech mongers because pro-Israeli governments are equating Zionism and Semitism, an old tactic actually used by hate groups targeting Jews.
Then it will never pass. Canadian laws are subject to an extensive review process that determines whether or not the bill is in conflict with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
There is no point in passing a law, that cannot be enforced. If everyone who gets arrested under this legislation can simply point out the obvious fact that their rights have been violated, then the courts will have no choice but to toss out every single case involving this law.
There is no point in passing a law, that cannot be enforced.
That never stopped Harper's government from doing it anyway.
And in the process wasting the court's time, and unfairly punishing people until those bad laws were eventually and inevitably nullified by the court.
Exactly. Every time they've passed a law that violates the Charter, it eventually gets repealed. They've done this enough times that at this point, that it isn't likely to pass at all if it isn't compliant with the Charter. We've seen this over and over again, whenever they try and pass these types of laws. They fail before they ever get out in place now.
The point of the law isn't for it to be enforced fairly, it will be selectively enforced to purge dissenting voices on issues like Israel's genocide in Gaza (which Carney still supports, despite the performative recognition in the UN), much like how the UK has made supporting Palestine a terrorism offense.
It isn't about it being enforced "fairly". If every conviction you try to get, just ends up getting thrown out of court because it violates the Charter, then the law is effectively unenforceable altogether.
They've done this in the past, and every time, the law inevitably gets repealed, even if it does pass through Parliament.
Meanwhile all the people who were arrested and charged unfairly have had their lives completely upended.
Some may sue the government, and possibly get justice, but that'll take years and they'll be targeted by bootlickers and the US-backed media.
The government knows it'll be overturned but in the time it takes, they can use it to suppress legitimate free speech and target the groups they don't like.
It's all about disrupting speech the government doesn't like now.
Real talk, run far away from trying to emulate anything the US is doing/wants to do cos we’re fucked down here and out of our fucking minds.
