Canada/Law: Online Harms Legislation, Revisited

[dewline]

The earlier version of the bill died on the order paper thanks to the latest election call. However, anyone paying attention to the issue expects the bill to be re-introduced soon, however renumbered for House of Commons record-keeping purposes. I hope that the concerns of its critics get more serious consideration, respect and careful incorporation into the phrasing of the next version.

And meanwhile, this crap's being sorted out, too. We hope. I just hope it doesn't get used as cover for making Canada a better client state of either the Xi Regime or Putin or whatever lunatic forces themselves into Biden's job over too many objections to count.

I really wish Ottawa would open talks re: full membership in the EU. Today, if possible.
