Re: Liberals relent on internet bill, May 4

The attempt to force Bill C-10 upon Canadians is part of an ongoing effort by the Trudeau Liberals to accrue greater control of Canadian society.

Having taken control over a large part of Canada’s economy and shut down all new energy related infrastruc­ture under the new Impact Assessment Agency of Canada, they’re now using that agency to intrude on provincial jurisdicti­on by inserting themselves into the approval process for a new regional highway (413) in Ontario.

Moving on from the economy, Bill C-10 attempts to extend government control over civil society by giving the government the authority to potentiall­y curtail the free speech of private citizens via the internet.

There’s a disturbing correlatio­n at work here, as they accrue a greater number of failures at governing, they keep trying to extend their control over larger portions of Canadian society.

In the past year, all the negative traits and tendencies of this government have accelerate­d.

From corrupt conduct regarding the WE Charity scandal to incompeten­ce in procuring COVID-19 vaccines, to an attempt to curtail free speech with Bill C-10 — and let’s not forget Justin Trudeau’s attempt to govern by fiat and take total control over government finances without any oversight until 2022.

This government is becoming increasing­ly threatenin­g to its citizens.
