Mark Carney Proposes Online Speech Regulation During Campaign Rally

Liberal leader Mark Carney unveiled plans to regulate online content during a campaign rally in Hamilton, framing the initiative as a coordinated effort to combat harmful speech on digital platforms.

According to reporting by journalist Dan Knight on X, Carney announced “a series of measures with respect to online harm,” specifically targeting what he described as “misogyny, anti-Semitism, hatred, conspiracy theories” that he claimed “washes over our virtual borders from the United States.”

Knight’s post, which included video from the rally, quoted Carney as saying his government “will be taking action on those American giants who come across our border” if elected.

The proposed measures appear to align with Bill C-63, also known as the Online Harms Act, which would establish a Digital Safety Commission with authority to monitor and investigate online content deemed harmful.

In his analysis, Knight raised concerns about the implications for free speech, arguing the legislation lacks clear definitions of harmful content and could potentially be used to suppress political dissent. “What Carney didn’t say is just as important,” Knight wrote. “He made no distinction between actual criminal incitement and political dissent.”

Carney’s Liberal Party has positioned the issue as a matter of public safety.
