The Impact of Bill C63 on Free Speech and Individual Rights

Bill C63, a new bill in Canada looming on the horizon, has stirred controversy due to its potential infringement on free speech. The bill extends into uncharted territories, with implications that could significantly curtail individual rights. By encompassing three distinct elements—administrative, criminal, and human rights—the bill sets a dangerous precedent by intertwining hate speech restrictions with a far-reaching administrative state. This intertwining leads to a slippery slope scenario where anonymous denunciations can weaponize vengeance, hinder due process, and exponentially expand the power of the state over individual freedoms.
