#1 - Politics - Canada's Podcast Censorship


Listen Later

Is Canada's government trying to censor podcasts and other social media? My opinion based on what I'm reading from the official regulations is YES. This form of REGISTRATION is a precursor to gradual, eventual CONFISCATION. In this case, the confiscation of your rights to freedom of speech or even more sneakily makes you want to censor yourself without having to ban anything directly. Tune into how that is taking place, how it might evolve and my personal view. Please note: These are strictly my own views and interpretations based on what I'm hearing, reading and seeing. If there is one positive impact I want to make with this episode is to increase awareness and critical analysis.
