Liberals love doing things at night, especially when it comes to things like votes.
Well we just officially turned into the UK. Awesome.
The moment it passes the Senate, we have to sue Facebook, Google, Discord, Tencent, Twitch, Steam, Amazon, Hulu, Netflix, Pornhub (the irony that it is headquartered in Canada), Chaturbate, and any other site or corporation that allows streaming in any form. Including all video game companies. And I don't mean just IGN and Kotaku, I mean Blizzard, Naughtydog, EA Games: They all upload movies, music, or pictures.
If they were all banned from Canada, it would frankly only make Canada a better place. Because as it stands, ALL those companies are in violation of C-10.
I mean, i would be highly amused if this actually works, but none of us are that naive to believe they would actually enforce it in this case, right?
You underestimate how draconian and power-hungry the CRTC (well, CCC now) is. The political elites may want to enforce it one particular way, but the CRTC are brain-dead rabid dogs, existing only to infect and harm as many as possible, and are being given much longer leashes.
They aren't like the Human Rights Council of Canada or the Language Police. Their goal is to cause as many problems for as many people as possible, unless they're personally bought off. And there won't have been time for them to be bought off by ALL those groups right at the bill's passing.
You've said exactly why it won't become a problem for 'big' tech.
Give it a week and those with deeper pockets will do so. Smaller ones... well, it's business, if bribing officials does not bring you enough influence/$$$ to justify the bribe, shutting off Canada is also a choice for a smaller service/business. Now, IANAL but i doubt Canada can use it's own draconian laws to prosecute a foreign entity in any meaningful manner (cue Google being fined in Russia for a sum big enough to bankrupt literally anyone).
You still think laws apply blindly and not politically?
I think at least some of those companies won't have paid the weregeld.
all the legitimate votes happen in the dead of night
Fucking this
"You're so cute when you put on that black face, Justin. I don't even have to close my eyes to picture that you're Michael Obama when you wear the strapon!"
"one man one vote" was so obviously a mistake Jesuschrist.
