Poilievre Slams $200 Million Online Harms Act, Promising Swift Repeal If Tories Win
Pierre Poilievre promises to repeal the Online Harms Act, citing a $200 million implementation cost and concerns over free speech. The bill aims to clamp down on illegal online content and would create a new watchdog commission. Civil liberties groups pushed for changes to focus on content regulation, separating it from harsh hate crime laws. The government insists the bill is needed to protect Canadians, while critics call it excessive bureaucracy.
