When Bill C-11 gets passed the last few pages of this thread will be outlawed and the dissidents rounded up.
I'm not too concernedWhen Bill C-11 gets passed the last few pages of this thread will be outlawed and the dissidents rounded up.
And I will be one of them.When Bill C-11 gets passed the last few pages of this thread will be outlawed and the dissidents rounded up.
Minor correction, OS.And I will be one of them38,000,000.
I thought Bill C-11 was dead?When Bill C-11 gets passed the last few pages of this thread will be outlawed and the dissidents rounded up.
It's not dead. The Senate committee examining it just finished their consideration a couple weeks ago before the Christmas break, and proposed quite a number of amendments that should remove most of the real concerns, particularly by ensuring that user created social media content is not captured by the bill's language. It looks liek the Senate is performing the role it's expected to perform on this one.I thought Bill C-11 was dead?
I remember when it was first defeated, to great fanfare. Has it been rekindled from the dead?
Is that possible/allowed?
(How can a party introduce legislation that gets defeated in the house, and then introduce it again a year or so later?
With the NDP not blindly supporting the Liberals anymore, I’d have thought the prospects of it passing would be even worse…
Referring back to another thread that strung at our passions, we discussed constitutional law & how laws passed in Parliament go through enough scrutiny that they are assumed to be constitutional.
How do we feel about a government (and one that consistently does the opposite of what it’s citizens want) deciding what content Canadians can access & what they can’t?
You should look at my 20 minute primer of "How to be a Dictator".The Online Streaming Act in the Senate
What does CRTC getting authority over streaming services got to do with dissident roundups?

By turning everything into Beachcombers and Heartland?You should look at my 20 minute primer of "How to be a Dictator".
One of the main things you need to do as a dictator is seize control of the media and silence the critics. This is one way of doing that.
I call some Canadian TV shows "30 percenters" because the network (CTV and CBC generally) must have 30 % Canadian content. Marilyn Dennis and that stupid Corner Gas are but two examples of sub standard "Canadian"TV - cause the real good ones are Stateside.By turning everything into Beachcombers and Heartland?
I think the more realisitc concern is that the legislation as written is potentially harmful to actual Canadian content creators because of how it's defined and potentially implemented. So shows filmed and edited in Canada with a lot of Canadian actors and suppliers (Supernatural etc) aren't considered Canadian content if the producer isn't Canadian, and smaller folks on You tube etc may get caught up in it as well. The bit about changing algorithms is potentially huge, as understanding how those work is a pretty big part of success on internet businesses.
There are already lots of subsidies and tax breaks to encourage that, we don't need excessive controls on the output as well.
It might be a good idea but I'm not sure how the feds could do that under the Constitution; both property rights and municipalities are provincial powers, and federal encroachment in provincial jurisdiction is bad, at least in the west apparently.If they wanted to do something federally stopping rezoning of farmland in specific areas (ie Golden Horseshoe) would probably be more effective, and also force the cleanup of former industrial zones for redevelopment.
Ahem... any reference to Corner Gas being sub standard is blasphemy...I call some Canadian TV shows "30 percenters" because the network (CTV and CBC generally) must have 30 % Canadian content. Marilyn Dennis and that stupid Corner Gas are but two examples of sub standard "Canadian"TV - cause the real good ones are Stateside.
Thank You for clarifying that for me. I was under the impression it was no longer a thing...It's not dead. The Senate committee examining it just finished their consideration a couple weeks ago before the Christmas break, and proposed quite a number of amendments that should remove most of the real concerns, particularly by ensuring that user created social media content is not captured by the bill's language.
