What's with this #government of ours? #Canadians take note.

Bill C-8 is currently in second reading in #parliament. It's nominally about increasing "cyber" security. But it contains one of the most chilling things I've seen in #legislation.

In short, it allows a government minister to, with the stroke of a pen, make it illegal for any telecommunications provider in the country to provide any services to any specified person.

No internet.
No phone.
No anything.

Presto: you're suddenly incommunicado.

Note that's without a warrant, without a judge's approval, without a trial, without a charge, nothing, and there's nothing the person being banished can do about it until after the fact - and then they'll have to sue the government to try to overturn it. Good luck paying a lawyer for that!

This is our own little step towards fascism. Imagine a government hostile to your interests suddenly deciding you can't communicate with anyone because the things you say annoy them.

Please let your MP know that this legislation is NOT okay!

How the world can escape the new Gilded Age
"If #unaccountable #billionaires already wield too much #undue #influence, the last thing we shld want is to give them even bigger public forums -- eg, Musk now has thru his ownership of X. Instead, we shld pursue stronger institutional means of limiting the #power & influence of those who are already privileged, as well as reconsider e #tax, #regulatory & spending #policies tt created such massive #disparities in the 1st place"

"As journalists,” she adds,
“our role is to try to collect information as accurately as possible and analyse it.

If the interpretation leads to describing #Israeli #war #crimes in Gaza
or whether it leads in the direction of describing #Hamas #atrocities in Israel,
that’s what it should do.
⭐️But I think, for example, that it’s a great mistake for universities to announce what their ‘policy’ is on the war…”⭐️

In this regard, I ask, have our governments been cowardly or naive in
not confronting the implications of the great shift in information in our times, the #unaccountable #algorithms of social media?

“We have been very cowardly about that,” she says. ♦️“Anonymity online is a big problem.
🔸If someone walked into the room right now with a mask over his face and stood in the centre of the room and started shouting his opinions,
🔸we would all say: ‘Who’s that crazy person? Why should we listen to him?’
💥And yet online that is what happens.”

"Nothing gets done without #public or #media pressure. I amplify voices to fight for #resources people need in their own #communities.
Putting in [#council] motions means nothing. Literally nothing, even if those are passed. That’s what I didn’t like... A motion would only be acted upon when the #executive are good and ready to act on it.
That’s where the #power lies, in the hands of the executive, who are #unelected and #unaccountable.”

Over the past 2 yrs, the #Murdochs’ patience began to wear thin…. #TuckerCarlson emerged as an almost #unaccountable figure who drew new headaches w/ #ConspiracyTheory programming that included falsely portraying… #Jan6… as possibly orchestrated by the fed govt. Then, as the #Dominion case headed to trial, he told his audience last month that the rioting was… a peaceful exercise, using security footage that the #Republican Speaker of the #House, #KevinMcCarthy, had given to Carlson exclusively.

Forgive us if this sounds like an unusual question but does anyone know whether the #FederalReserve Chairman, #JeromePowell is actually human?

Has anyone heard…it… speak?

He sounds like purposefully low quality #artificialIntelligence, just to rub our faces in the fact that we are controlled by an #unaccountable computer program.
