Mark Carney Vows Internet Speech Crackdown if Elected
By Christina Maas
Mark Carney dodges Epstein jabs in Hamilton while reviving failed Liberal plans for speech control via Bill C-36 and Bill C-63.

It was supposed to be a routine campaign pit stop, the kind of low-stakes political affair where candidates smile like used car salesmen and dish out platitudes thicker than Ontario maple syrup. Instead, Mark Carney found himself dodging verbal bricks in a Hamilton hall, facing hecklers who lobbed Jeffrey Epstein references like Molotovs. No rebuttal, no denial. Just a pivot worthy of an Olympic gymnast, straight to the perils of digital discourse.
“There are many serious issues that we’re dealing with,” he said, ignoring the criticism that had just lobbed his way. “One of them is the sea of misogyny, antisemitism, hatred, and conspiracy theories — this sort of pollution online that washes over our virtual borders from the United States.”
Ah yes, the dreaded digital tide. Forget inflation or the fact that owning a home now requires a GoFundMe. According to Carney, the real catastrophe is memes from Buffalo.
The Ghost of Bills Past
Carney’s new plan to battle the internet; whatever it may be, because details are apparently for peasants, would revive a long-dead Liberal Party obsession: regulating online speech in a country that still pretends to value free expression.
It’s an effort so cursed, it’s been killed more times than Jason Voorhees. First, there was Bill C-36, which flopped in 2021. Then came its undead cousin, Bill C-63, awkwardly titled the Online Harms Act, which proposed giving the Canadian Human Rights Commission the power to act as digital inquisitors, sniffing out content that “foments detestation or vilification.”
Naturally, it died too, not from public support, but because Parliament decided it had better things to do, like not passing it in time.
But as every horror franchise teaches us, the villain never stays away for long. Carney’s speech didn’t include specifics, which is usually code for “we’ll make it up later,” but the intent is clear: the Liberals are once again oiling up the guillotine of speech regulation, ready to let it fall on anything remotely edgy, impolite, or, God forbid, unpopular.
“Won’t Someone Think of the Children?”
“The more serious thing is when it affects how people behave — when Canadians are threatened going to their community centers or their places of worship or their school or, God forbid, when it affects our children,” Carney warned, pulling the emergency brake on the national sympathy train. It’s the same tired tactic every aspiring control freak uses, wrap the pitch in the soft fuzz of public safety and pray nobody notices the jackboot behind the curtain.
Nothing stirs the legislative loins like invoking the children. But vague terror about online contagion infecting impressionable minds has become the go-to excuse for internet crackdowns across the Western world. Canada’s Liberals are no different. They just dress it up and pretend it’s for your own good.
“Free Speech Is Important, But…”
Former Heritage Minister Pascale St-Onge, doing her best impression of a benevolent censor, also piped up earlier this year with a classic verbal pretzel: “We need to make sure [freedom of expression] exists and that it’s protected. Yet the same freedom of expression is currently being exploited and undermined.”
Protecting free speech by regulating it is the sort of logic that keeps satire writers out of work.
St-Onge’s lament about algorithms monetizing debate sounds suspiciously like a pitch from someone who can’t get a word in on X. It’s the familiar cry of technocrats and bureaucrats who can’t fathom a world where regular people might say things that aren’t government-approved. “Respect is lacking in public discourse,” she whined on February 20. She’s right. People are tired of pretending to respect politicians who think governing a country means babysitting the internet.

Powerful forces want to silence independent voices online

Governments and corporations are working hand in hand to control what you can say, what you can read; and soon, who you are allowed to be.
New laws promise to “protect” you; but instead criminalize dissent.
Platforms deplatform, demonetize, and disappear accounts that step out of line.
AI-driven surveillance tracks everything you do, feeding a system built to monitor, profile, and ultimately control.
Now, they’re pushing for centralized digital IDs; a tool that could link your identity to everything you say and do online. No anonymity. No privacy. No escape.
This isn’t about safety, it’s about power.
If you believe in a truly free and open internet; where ideas can be debated without fear, where privacy is a right, and where no government or corporation dictates what’s true; please become a supporter.

Tucker Carlson Interviews Maxime Bernier: Trump’s Tariffs, Mass Immigration, and the Oncoming Canadian Revolution
From Tucker Carson on Youtube
It’s hard to overstate how dystopian and threatening Canada has become. An update from longtime Canadian government official Maxime Bernier.
Trish Wood
and bad news for our actual Freedom Fighters
On the same day I confirmed my worst fears about the Crown’s intentions for Tamara and Chris — Neil Young, one of the leading freedom fighters of my generation has made an ass of himself, yet again. But first, Chris Barber confirmed last night that the Crown is seeking two years in prison for both he and Tamara.
 |
I spoke to Chris briefly and he is stoic but concerned. Chris and his family are blue-collar working people/farmers who live on the remote prairies. The possible dismantling of this truck feels vindictive to me. Never forget Mark Carney’s Op Ed calling for the financial destruction of the protesters and their supporters.
 |
The Crown’s position seems over-the-top and believe me, he would not being doing this without approval from people higher up the food chain. Guess who?
I haven’t been a Neil Young fan since his tantrum in 2022 in favour of vaccines. While the great Eric Clapton was speaking out over his own vaccine injury — Young was firing missiles from the safety of his compound in California at those of us demanding scrutiny of an untested shot that didn’t even work. Specifically Neil’s target was Joe Rogan.
 |
Until this morning I’d nearly forgotten about this absurd move by Young, along with Joni Mitchell, who also erupted — from her LA mansion to weigh in on a subject she knows zilch about.
Back in BC, in the 70s, as a young musician and poet, I was inspired by Joni’s earliest music and open-tuning guitar idiosyncrasies that were both enchanting and frustrating. Neil and Joni — two humans I’d believed all my life were actual rebels showed themselves to be Big Pharma shills, captured by propaganda and The Man in ways I’d never expected. I always believed Neil, whom I took my son to see on his sixteenth birthday — with Oasis — what a show — was perhaps the one person from my era who would remain eternally cool. But to quote my mother — we can’t have anything nice.
Here is the world-salad, fact-free, non-granular statement from Neil Young endorsing Mark Carney. It could have been written by Meghan Markle.
 |
The full statement was not without a warning about Terrible Trump — as if Young has drunk every bit of Liberal-talking-point Kool-Aid down to the last drop.
So now, here we are again. Canada is facing threats to its very existence, incredibly from people we thought were our friends. They want our resources, they want our land, they want our fisheries, they want our water, they want our Arctic, maybe they want our souls. I know the US president could use a soul.
It takes more than bravado to fight this kind of a threat. It takes brains, deep economic knowledge of how the world works, it takes strong, intelligent strategies, and the ability to recognize and seize opportunities both at home and on the world stage, opportunities that can bring a new level of prosperity and safety to people…..people who right now may be paralyzed with fear as they look to the future of Canada and the world.
The PEACE sign-off was at best, ironic. Mark Carney is the very emblem of a globo/cap, bellicose, anti-human, pro-censorship agenda.
Carney thanked Neil in an X post for his support, invoking off course “Keep on Rockin’ in the Free World” — an anthem that represents the opposite of Carney’s plans for the country. We are not free now and will be less so should Neil’s current man-crush make it through. Carney is already hinting at more censorship.
The clip below captures how far political discourse in this country has fallen. Watch Carney ginning up more Trump hatred and fear on a day it looks like the polls are turning against the Liberals over Button Gate and his tepid response to the fraud committed by his campaign staff.
When in doubt, trot Trump out.
Something something Trump. Something something 51st state. Something Something – I will save you.
Hey, Neil and Mark — this is what Rockin’ in the Free World looks like in Canada today.

We were bound to end up here.
Former Yippie and activist Jerry Rubin started the trend when he tossed his beliefs to become a stock broker.
 |
Sometime in the mid-1970s, Rubin reinvented himself as a businessman. Friend and fellow Yippie Stew Albert claimed Rubin’s new ambition was giving capitalists a social consciousness. In 1980 he began a new career on Wall Street as stockbroker with the brokerage firm John Muir & Co. “I know that I can be more effective today wearing a suit and tie and working on Wall Street than I can be dancing outside the walls of power,”[8] he said.
Maybe Rubin was correct. Those of us who “dance outside the walls of power” have none. Our current “banker” whose policies will condemn the working class to globalist feudalism is considered our saviour while Lich/Barber are facing prison for peaceful protests that actually saved lives.
Moral inversion. Legal inversion. Hold tight to your beliefs and the goodness in your hearts. There’s a possibility the judge will stay a prison sentence. But we must prepare for a bad outcome. I don’t even know how to think about it right now. It is indeed unthinkable.
What’s even worse is that people in this country will cheer, including our current and previous prime ministers.
Maxime Bernier confirmed to me last night that he is being interviewed by Tucker Carlson. This gives me some hope.
Live not by Lies….nurture this thought.
Stay critical.
