We are closer to a real speech crackdown than at any point in modern Canadian history.

And the Carney government isn't hiding it anymore.

Heritage Minister Marc Miller has admitted Canada is "a couple years behind" Britain and Australia on internet regulation. Britain — where police investigate tweets and Facebook posts, where authorities made over 12,000 arrests tied to online communications in a single year. Canada's political class talks about that like it's a model worth copying.

This isn't a new fight. Under Trudeau, the Liberals tried to pass Bills C-10, C-11, C-36 and C-63 — each more aggressive than the last. Bill C-36 proposed anonymous complaints over lawful speech, fines of up to $20,000 paid directly to the complainant, and pre-crime restrictions including curfews and communication bans for Canadians who hadn't committed any offence. Bill C-63 would have built an entire censorship infrastructure: digital safety commissions, online speech regulators and government-backed enforcement bodies.

Those bills died when the election was called. The agenda didn't.

Now Carney's government is signalling it wants another crack at it — and quietly expanding state powers at the same time. Buried on page 145 of the Spring Economic Statement: amendments expanding police powers to search and seize physical mail. They're closing off every avenue.

Government-funded outlets like the CBC have nothing to fear from any of this. The pressure lands on independent media — on journalists who ask uncomfortable questions and operate outside the approved institutional framework.

Freedom doesn't disappear overnight. It disappears slowly, bureaucratically, under the language of safety and harm reduction. We need to fight back now, while we still can — with lawyers, technology and the resources to keep telling the truth no matter what they throw at us.

Please donate to help Rebel News fight back against the Liberal government's draconian censorship regime!

The Carney Liberals are quietly preparing a new censorship regime aimed at regulating online speech — while also expanding police powers over private mail. If passed, these measures could make it harder for Rebel News to publish, reach supporters, and fight back legally. That’s why we’re launching an emergency censorship war chest now, to fund lawyers, build reserves, invest in new technology, and develop alternative ways to keep reporting if Rebel News is de-listed, deplatformed, or blocked from reaching Canadians. Please make an emergency donation today to help us prepare for the fight ahead.
