Careful! If the law is passed, you may no longer be able to say that.

And that's the scary part.

Indeed. 

I really do fear for the future.  Our current proclivities toward political correctness and cancel culture are just the beginning.

Back to the party that didn't make government officials available to the media and tried to set up a snitch line so we could report our neighbors to the Dear Leader?
Be wary of people who tell you what's in a bill without actually quoting from it.  I've read it.  I interpret it as broadcasters who put an over the air signal online will be subject to similar rules to the ones they already follow and the rest of us will be governed by the charter of rights.  They're basically preempting Rogers and Bell from trying to get out of Canadian Content rules, closed captioning, descriptive video, diversity of voices, etc, after shutting off their transmitters and solely broadcasting online.  He also said your use of social media will be regulated.  The bill says it won't, twice, although it hints that social media companies themselves will be regulated, which we already knew was coming.  But don't take my word for it.
