Our new "Online harms act" Bill C-63 is going to be the law of the land come this fall, following in the UK's footsteps people will be jailed for saying things online the government deems "hateful".
We are fast becoming a communist state here.
Not quite right, people are being jailed in the UK real quick for inciting riots, people have been jailed from both sides of the debate.they are now jailing people over social media postings against their narratives

It is damned hard in the UK to get jailed for anything !! Inciting a riot is one of them though. There is a place in London called speakers corner, you can go there and speak to the small audience of listeners and like I said it is damned hard to get arrested.

Their corruption program for 2024 has begun, with more ramping up to follow....indubitably. Obviously, the majority of US voter's are stuck on stupid, thanks to their consumption of MSM propaganda. It is what it is...appears many can't think on their own.We're following close behind down here. The 2024 election will be pivotal for the US. The liberal candidate's handlers have her completely side-stepping and dodging the hot-button items that are core freedom's such as the Second Amendment. They are Projecting their failures while in office upon the opposing candidate and completely dodging the other issues. She'll walk up to a podium for 20 minutes and not say anything tangible - she never has, just blabbering non-sensical politically charged rhetoric.

If you read the article it was a public order offence, he just happened to swear a lot, even the guy who was arrested said that he had behaved like a prat, the UK remains a very free country where you can very sensibly express yourself in public.
Being arrested and put in jail over night is just part of a legal process, where we are innocent until proved guilty.
Thames Valley Police denied the case was a waste of public money. A spokesman said: "He was arrested for shouting and swearing. We don't arrest people for calling a police horse gay."
Terry"Thames Valley Police have stood by their decision to take the case to court and said he was warned five times that 'homophobic comments' directed at a police horse had caused offence to passers-by, before being arrested."
Sadly we are following in your footsteps here in Kanuckistan with intentionally vague laws that allow too much "interpretation" by government prosecutors and judges:
Harassment, alarm or distress.
(1)A person is guilty of an offence if he—
(a)uses threatening [F1or abusive] words or behaviour, or disorderly behaviour, or
(b)displays any writing, sign or other visible representation which is threatening [F1or abusive],
https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1986/64/section/5
Up to six months in jail for using "abusive words", oh the horror!
I wonder if your government would be able to bring Elon Musk to the UK for prosecution?
TerryYa, two sides to a story for sure but I draw the line when government passes laws that that take away freedom of speech and property rights of their citizens.
There has been a constant attack on our freedoms here under Justin Trudeau and his Liberal/NDP coalition government including the banning of previously legal firearm ownership, online censorship legislation, people being trampled by horses, pepper sprayed and imprisoned for peaceful demonstrations and now this new bill C-63 "online harms act" that can bring you charges (with the associated legal costs etc.) for something you might say online.
When I looked at the current turmoil in your country I saw the laws are very similar to what is being passed here and realized where our current government wants to take us.
Not at all good IMHO.
TRUE THAT!.... Media=Govt propaganda arm....all part and partisan of ever growing governments.......'don't believe everything the media say'......
