“I will do everything I can to make sure this bill isn’t rammed through. Standing up to Bill C-10 is standing up against censorship and standing up for free speech. If we don’t say NO now, it will be too late,” tweeted Senator Pamela Wallin on the 22nd of June. 

“The government has had six years to pass legislation it wants. It is not our job in the Senate to rubber stamp and give up our constitutional responsibilities just because they want fodder for an election —  especially if it means killing free speech.”  

Canada’s House of Commons passed the controversial internet regulation Bill C-10 while most Canadians were asleep just after 1:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. Bill C-10, known as “An Act to Amend the Broadcasting Act,” has drawn fire for its targeting of user-generated content on social media platforms. 

The bill would force websites, including YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook, to remove content deemed “harmful” within 24 hours, and also compel sites such as Netflix to have more Canadian content. 

Bill C-10 is now before Canada’s Senate, where it has already gone through first reading. Extra calendar days were added to the senate’s schedule to allow debate on it next week.
