Scrap Bill C-18. Don’t give any money to foreign owned media (Post Media). Make disseminating propaganda illegal. This must include AI generated and deep fake videos. Ban all un-moderated media especially social media like: X, Truth Social, and all Meta products. If they can’t follow Canadian laws, they ain’t welcome. Blue Sky and the other moderated social media can replace them all.
Then classify Elon Musk a national security threat and ban him and his companies from operating in or above Canada. Shoot down his fucking satellites!
