Trudeau Minister Proposes Forcing News Websites to Have Govt Licence

Breitbart:

Canadian Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault has stated that news websites, along with social media companies, could be forced to obtain government licences to operate in Canada.

The minister, who has been tasked with updating Canada’s broadcasting laws using the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), stated that internet news sites will be “asked” to obtain a government-approved licence, broadcaster CTV reports.

The report, entitled “Canada’s communications future: Time to act”, was released on January 29th and included 97 recommendations. It details how the CRTC would be vastly expanded to not only regulate radio and television broadcasters but news websites as well.

“If you’re a distributor of content in Canada and obviously if you’re a very small media organisation the requirement probably wouldn’t be the same if you’re Facebook, or Google. There would have to be some proportionality embedded into this,” he said during a CTV interview. read more

  1. The French Canadians have a lock on the government up there now and as you can see they’re as leftist as they come.
    There’s a lesson for us there too and that’s to make sure you never skip a vote because those people are always out there lurking and ready to get in control.

    Got some bad news for ya … they’re already in the CIA, FBI, NSA, FISA, Supreme Court, House, Senate, Federal Agencies, State Houses, Police Forces, Sheriff’s Departments, and the local DMV.
    Wait.
    As soon as we adopt any – ANY – of their idiotic totalitarian notions (“Green” Energy, Nationalizing “Student” debt, Nationalizing HealthCare, Nationalizing Union Pensions, Nullifying the Second Amendment, “Celebration” of perversion) we become complicit in the enslavement and the destruction of America.
    It’s a hundred years past time to cry “STOP!”
    We’ve allowed the nihilistic totalitarians (Progressives, Socialists, Demonrats – whatever they call themselves this week) to subject our country to the “Death of a Thousand Cuts.”

    izlamo delenda est …
