The Same Drugs: Jay Cameron on Bill C-10—the Liberal's attempt to regulate Canadians' online speech

The Liberal government is currently working to pass Bill C-10, the Broadcasting Act reform bill, which aims to treat platforms like YouTube and Facebook as broadcasters, and subject "user-generated content" to Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) regulation. Until recently there had been an exclusion in the Act for social-media sites, protecting individuals from being subject to CRTC hearing, but the Liberals recently removed Section 4.1, the clause excluding user-generated content.

I spoke with Jay Cameron, Litigation Director at the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), a non-profit law firm dedicated to the education and defence of Canadians constitutional rights, about the bill and how it will curtail free speech in Canada.
