Jordan Peterson Blasts Canada's Online Harms Act as 'The Most Authoritarian Law Conceivable'

Anthony Murdoch : Jun 11, 2024  LIfeSiteNews.com

"This is your federal Attorney General literally publicizing the fact that he wants to grant a new authority the power to arrest you on the suspicion that you might at some point commit an (undefinable) "hate crime. This is not only the most authoritarian law ever contemplated in a western democracy but truly the most authoritarian law conceivable." -Jordan Peterson

[LifeSiteNews.com] Jordan Peterson, one of Canada's most prominent and well-known anti-woke psychologists, warned that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's dystopian Online Harms Act will create a pathway to allow for "Orwellian Thought Crime" to become the norm in the nation.

"Canadians, Wake the Hell up," Peterson wrote on X last Thursday in reply to a posting from Trudeau's Justice Minister and Attorney General Arif Virani about his Online Harms Act.

"This is your federal Attorney General literally publicizing the fact that he wants to grant a new authority the power to arrest you on the suspicion that you might at some point commit an (undefinable) "hate crime. This is not only the most authoritarian law ever contemplated in a western democracy but truly the most authoritarian law conceivable."

Virani posted May 31 on X, "We need to define hatred in the Criminal Code. We need strict penalties for violent acts of hate. We need the ability to stop an anticipated hate crime from occurring. The Online Harms Act does all of this. The Conservatives need to get on board. Now."

Peterson observed that what Virani is championing Canadian lawmakers to adopt via the Online Harms Act amounts to "Not just the Orwellian ‘Thought Crime' But the mere possibility of a thought crime."

"And he pronounces the need for such legislation as if anyone who opposes it is evil," he added.

Peterson called on Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre to "take note" of Virani's words.

The Online Harms Act, or Bill C-63, will target internet speech retroactively if it becomes law. The law, if passed, could lead to large fines and even jail time for vaguely defined online "hate speech" infractions... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
