The House of Commons is days from passing Bill S-210, a dangerously broad age verification bill that would put an age lock on most of Canada’s Internet and threaten every Canadian’s privacy.

    UPDATE October 16, 2024: Bill S-210 is set for FINAL vote in the House this November—with ZERO fixes in sight! This is our LAST CHANCE!

    Little late.

    The bill hasn’t passed third reading yet; hopefully it will die with the upcoming election.

      The Cons have been pushing this bill and others like it for ages, so expect to see more of it.

      What disappoints me the most is that the other parties (Green, NDP, PQ) are all backing it. It’s garbage - even if you support a nanny state, it’s garbage. The only real purpose of this bill is to eventually ban pornography entirely.

        All the parties are colluding together again? They must have been called up to Ottawa again for another “Solidarity Meeting”

      We’re gonna elect the fuckwit greaser, and this dog of a bill will be gently pushed along. They’ve successfully made us hate the best non-conservative we’ve had in a while, and their 9-year quest is complete. Our best chance is a minority-cheesedick gov, but even then the opposition will be a feckless post-justin red party.

      We’re doomed, Mr Harry.

      I guess it was filibustered last time it came up. I’m hoping it will die as well, but I won’t count on it.
