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’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.

      1. Current laws work
      2. The Liberals are trying to enact laws that excessively curtail privacy, similar to those in the UK

      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.
