Canada’s New ‘Pre-Crime’ Bill

Up in Canada they hate “hate” and mean to do something about it.

Do what? Bill C-63 contemplates subjecting to house arrest–with an “electric tag” to keep you honest!–individuals who might commit a “hate crime” (undefined!) sometime in the future… even if he hasn’t committed any crime as yet (https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-justice-minister-defends-house-arrest-power-for-people-feared-to/).

Punishment first, criminal act later!

It’s part of an “online harms bill” being pushed by Canada’s (LOL) Justice Minister, Arif Virani, who is also the Attorney General. But don’t worry, he says. They won’t go overboard with this.

Honk if you believe it. [Cue in chirping crickets.]

Let’s just lock up anyone who might commit a crime someday! Here in America, it would be blatantly unconstitutional. But who knows? Another Democrat presidency, and we might see a few executive orders along these lines. Libs are always jealous of what their counterparts get away with in countries that are not America.
