Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has taken a page out of China’s basic dictatorship by creating a personal YouTube channel right as his Censorship Bill C-11 is about to kick in.
Bill C-11, the Online Streaming Act, will give the Trudeau Liberals the power to boost whatever content they deem worthy, such as their own.
“In no time at all, Justin Trudeau’s YouTube channel will have millions of followers. Perfectly timed with the rollout of Bill C-11, it will be recommended to all Canadians – organically, of course!” Youtube streamer Viva Frei wrote on Twitter.
“It will be the greatest YouTube channel in Canadian history! It will rival Kim Jong-un’s first round of golf, in which he made an astounding 11 holes-in-one.”
Since creating the channel just weeks ago, YouTubers have been flooding the replies to his videos with mostly criticism.
Bill C-11 passed its third reading in the Senate in early February but with several amendments.
The bill is designed to promote “equity,” namely by propping up woke LGBTQ+-related content that fits the governments’ agenda, in turn de-boosting content that Canadians would otherwise be exposed to.
Even renowned Canadian author Margaret Atwood has called Trudeau’s Bill C-11 “creeping totalitarianism.”
Last week, Conservative Party of Canada leader Pierre Poilievre sounded alarm bells when the Liberals invoked closure in Parliament, shutting down debate on the Senate’s recommendations.
The Senate had conceded that it’s unclear how the Bill would affect independent journalism in Canada moving forward.
“Aspects of this bill may have a sweeping effect on broadcasting in Canada — or modest effect, depending on future CRTC decisions,” the Senate’s website states, as reported by Rebel News.
But the Liberals seem intent to put the Bill to a vote without bothering to address any of the Senate’s concerns.
Justin Trudeau urged viewers to “like” and “subscribe.” At the time this article was published, his channel had approximately 2,500 subscribers.
