The Spin

Right narrative

It's ironic that a global liberal icon like Prime Minister Justin Trudeau would conjure up such a dystopian proposal as the proposed Online Harms Act. There's no desperate need for such an autocratic law in a peaceful and prosperous nation like Canada. However well they may package it to make it palatable, Canada's parliament must reject this intrusion into personal liberties outright.

Left narrative

If Canada must remain the haven of peace that it largely still is today, the country must buffet itself from a rising tide of hatred and hate speech. The proposed new law is a step in that direction and sets the bar deliberately high for the provisions that have drawn criticism — including life sentences for serious hate crimes. Nothing will be allowed to jeopardize free speech in Canada and vulnerable communities must also be protected.
