No, and we must entirely repeal Bill C-63 because 'hate speech' is too subjectively defined by whichever political party is in power

The PPC has formally pledged to repeal Bill C-63 and argues that the term 'hate speech' is a tool used by the current government to silence political opponents and enforce ideological conformity.

No, this is a dystopian Minority Report overreach that crushes free expression by assuming guilt for crimes that haven't happened yet

Maxime Bernier has explicitly used 'Orwellian' and 'dystopian' rhetoric to describe the Online Harms Act, aligning perfectly with the sentiment that it assumes guilt before a crime is committed.

Strongly disagree

Yes, but only with strict judicial oversight and a high burden of proof to prevent the weaponization of the justice system against political dissidents

Even with oversight, the PPC opposes the expansion of state power to punish potential future speech, as they believe the definition of hate speech is inherently subjective and open to political abuse.

Yes, preventative peace bonds are a proven legal tool to stop stochastic terrorism before online radicalization turns into real-world violence

The PPC rejects the logic of 'stochastic terrorism' and 'preventative peace bonds' as justifications for censorship, viewing them as tools for state-sponsored suppression of dissent.
