How is that anything to do with a privacy destroying censorship bill?
But just to clarify they aren’t asking for better tools to combat the epidemic of it yet, that’s just something you’ve invented out of whole cloth and are now getting mad about it?
Last year, the government sent its initial plans for the bill back to the drawing board in after facing criticism. Virani now says he hopes to bring the final bill forward sometime next year. He is taking over the bill from Canadian Heritage, which shepherded two highly controversial media bills on online streaming and compensation for news media.
The group of experts the government tasked with reworking the bill recently published an open letter saying it was time for the Liberals to bring it forward. They said Canadian children are less protected than kids in countries where similar laws are already in effect.
Sounds like people had concerns so they got a group of experts in to rework the previous bill.
Is that an issue to you because it looks to me like it is the opposite of what you just explained.
According to the news article you sent me, a group of experts asked the government to bring the bill forward.
Why was this case written into a big news story when defamation cases halted every day? (Can you try this again because I don’t understand the question)
Canada’s laws for the expectation of privacy is judged on ‘the degree of privacy needed to maintain a free and open society, not necessarily the degree of privacy expected by the individual or respected by the state in a given situation…’
Do you feel this infringes on ability to maintain a free and open society?
According to the article you linked ‘They said Canadian children are less protected than kids in countries where similar laws are already in effect.’
I’m guessing a journalist saw the news and decided to report on it and the editors thought it would bring in the eyeballs to the ads. The other option is that Justin Trudeau told them to print it so he would look good, but that seems a little tin foil hatty for my liking.
I’m no privacy expert I was just letting you know what the expectation of privacy was as a Canadian citizen. I personally think the laws we have strike a good balance between the good of the individual citizen and the society so I don’t know why the new ones wouldn’t either. Especially after it has been gone over by a group of experts after the government listened to their people. Isn’t that how a decent government is supposed to operate?
I think I clearly talked about the balancing act between the good of the individual and the good of society at large, you can’t just hand wave that away.
Like I said in my previous comment I think we as Canadians have struck that balance well and if the new laws don’t then they will be repealed.
I’m not into baseless fear mongering about what ifs and I definitely don’t think Justin Trudeau is an omnipotent dictator with the ability to control all media.
It’s twenty-two years later and we still don’t have those laws here, so that is more of that fear mongering I am talking about.
Can you send me a link about ‘the new law allows police to search your online messages and accounts without warrants’ because I haven’t heard of that and I usually keep myself pretty informed.
I’m not quite sure how to read this comment of yours, are you saying the closure of residential school and women getting rights are examples of bad laws that have stuck around?
We’re talking about laws that have changed for the worse and I don’t think women getting rights or residential schools closing down are examples of that.
I’d go as far saying that those changes are very good things and if that’s the examples you want to use here I’m confused.
