2024-10-12 Saturday Peaceful Freedom Rally

11:00am - 12 noon Markham and Lawrence

Online Harms Bill C-63; Self Amplifying mRNA; Kittens

“The Democracy Fund (TDF) has now reviewed the Bill [C-63 Online Harms]. In our view, it creates a comprehensive system of online speech surveillance, and suppresses public speech through fear of prosecution. If it passes, it will eliminate free speech in Canada.”

For example the actual brief it points out the extensive overlap with existing Criminal Code provisions, but C-63 tends to have language that is broader and less precise than the existing statutes. This is going to cause uncertainty until the courts sort out the new terms which will make it more expensive and uncertain to defend charges …

Open Media has a petition here, although Open Media doesn’t take as deep a legal dive into the bill as TDF.

From the Defender: Japan Approves World’s First ‘Self-amplifying’ mRNA COVID Shot “Self-amplifying mRNA injections also contain a foreign protein[foreign mRNA that the body’s cells translate into a protein] — but in addition, they contain an enzyme that instructs the body on how to make more mRNA.” What could possibly go wrong?

Kittens available for adoption in Scarborough Guildwood (presumably one week older):

Rally at Markham and Lawrence this Saturday from 11:00am - 12 noon

Please bring a freedom related sign, flag, flyers etc. if you have them.

I will be at or near Markham and Lawrence, ending up directly outside Healthy Planet in Cedarbrae Mall towards noon.
