"Trudeau Government's Endorsement of Speech Laws Sparks Controversy"

The Canadian government's Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63, has sparked controversy for its potential to imprison adults for life if they advocate for genocide and impose house arrest and fines based on the belief that a defendant "will commit" an offense. Critics, including author Margaret Atwood, have labeled the bill as Orwellian and totalitarian, while supporters argue it is necessary to protect children from online dangers. The bill, aimed at making social media safer, has drawn criticism for government overreach and concerns about free speech.
