Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the death of free speech and even contemplating leaving Canada for good.
Oh no. Not that. Please no.

That train of thought doesn’t make sense. “We need to pass this new law because [gestures at this case] existing laws already work”? If anyone were trying to drum up public support, they would want cases where people got away with it, and this ain’t it.
I might also add that if everyone is misunderstanding what you’re trying to say here, you’re either not explaining it very clearly or your theory simply doesn’t stand up.
That’s my entire point. Existing laws work.
But yet they’ll say “there’s so much of this that we need new laws”
In fact if you Google it, they’re trying to push new ones through now. Coincidence? Maybe.
So since you’re right, the argument doesn’t make sense, why do you believe that the following proposed laws exist?

Two things can both be true without one being caused by the other.
This doesn’t mean that 2 is caused by 1 or that they have anything to do with each other at all. Not everything has to play into some grand conspiracy. If anything, this case severely undermines the Liberals’ position.
