Trudeau Government Moves to Regulate Podcasts

[Twilight Hue]

A lot of people are lazy and will grab the first source that agrees with them rather than using critical reasoning skills.

Bingo. It's probably good that misinformation and such is let loose.

It keeps freedoms intact , and it also hones the skill of discernment.

Without it and only one centralized source for 'truth' or truth avaliable, depending on one's view, can be as disastrous as those skills of discernment are givin away for complacency.

It's more the observation for the all the claims of things we must have so we can thwart tyrants, like our level of free speech, it is America that fought against an insurrection. It didn't help prevent fascists, it empowered them.

What about if a fascist gains power?
Then your speech regulation would
entrench the thug, as it does in China,
Russia, & N Korea.

China and NK were born of revolutions that sought control rather than liberty. Those rose up and secured power from the start. Russia, it had decades of mostly underwhelming reform following Stalin, collapsed and soon became ruled by a Machaivellien and Soviet minded autocrat who's also ex KGB.
Now let's look at Canada. England. Australia. They have these laws about hate speech and regulate larger outlets. But where's the tyranny? Yeah, England is dealing with the consequences of Brexit but BoJo was tossed out and that was that. Canada is extending an existing law and going to have oversight amd regulations for larger podcasts. Our lack of it didn't prevent an attack on the election or the government and it didn't defend it.
Looking at facts it seems we probably should adopt laws more like theirs given the failures of a near free-for-all right-to free-speech in preventing what it was supposed to prevent. It's not perfect there, but it seems to be working better.

With all the misinformation recently there must be a lot of honing going on.

But I haven’t seen much yet. Have you?

So you're willing to give more authority to regulate
speech to Trump if he becomes President again?
He's already threatened to investigate & shut down
media that have opposed him.

"Prosecute for contempt of court for sitting outside a London trial holding a sign"

That's crazy.

That's crazy.

Yet many, especially liberals, want to grant
such power over us. What's wrong with banning
hate speech, lies, rudeness, etc, etc, eh. We can
trust government to use this power wisely.

That's clearly not what I'm saying. But he might try to do it anyways.

Power granted is power that will inevitably be mis-used.
So it's better to give them less than they want.

No, it really does not. I have seen you and other deniers fall for the first site that agrees with you. Why hasn't this worked for you?

requiring teachers in Canuckistan to pass a
math test is racist. What a goofy country, eh.

"But the government is now suggesting that the court made legal errors in that decision, including using too low of a threshold to determine discrimination, given that the test was only administered once — for the first time last year."

Only administered once. It will just get worse over time.

Well you, just by your comments, explains it perfectly.

You simply think your own sites are superior to others. I don't think so.

I agree with this part from your source article:

"Teachers’ unions objected to the test being applied broadly to all teachers, questioning why a kindergarten teacher needed to be tested on secondary school math concepts or why an art teacher needed to pass a math test."

I suppose that next, Canuckistanian teachers
won't need to know read', write'n, history, &
science.
