Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the death of free speech and even contemplating leaving Canada for good.

Oh no. Not that. Please no.

lamenting the death of free speech

Its amazing how ignorant they are to the fact it’s always* been like this

* since the Bill of Rights

Oh! So I can't go into a post-op ward in a white lab coat and tell the recovering patients that the power of prayer is better than surgery?!

What's next?! Taking away my Professional Engineer certification just because I'm not an engineer?

Or maybe you want to bankrupt my architecture firm simply because my certifications double as my Colgate Cavity Patrol diploma!

Never forget: If you can't commit outright fraud with your free speech, is it really free?

LoL. Did you not know about this or something?

[-] MapleEngineer@lemmy.ca 2 points 11 months ago

I actually didn't know about the Canadian Bill of Rights. I've always focused on the Constitution and Charter since they are current and applicable nationally. I guess that since it was superseded I just didn't know about it.
