Erode Freedoms By Slow Water Torture

Earlier I mentioned about how the Liberal Party of Quebec wants to increase the role of the OLF in Quebec. Essentially they want to encroach on our civil liberties. In this post, I point to section 3.9 of the party's resolutions: that Quebec be given a veto on decisions made by the CRTC.

As it stands, the secretive, unelected and unaccountable CRTC already determines what Canadians watch now we want to add another layer of regulation on top of this. Pushed to its logical end, it can happen where Quebec can say no to a particular show or channel in the interest of "protecting its culture."

In other words, no HBO for you!

Canada never ceases to amaze.
