Coming soon to Canada. What starts in Europe soon arrives here:

“Europe has become increasingly hostile toward free expression whenever speech challenges official narratives. Whether the subject is immigration, climate policy, COVID, Ukraine, or government spending, the response is remarkably consistent.

Debate is no longer answered with better arguments.
It is answered with censorship, de-platforming, algorithmic suppression, and criminal investigations.

This is exactly what history warns happens during periods of declining confidence in government.
As public trust collapses, politicians become less tolerant of criticism.
Instead of asking why people no longer believe them, they conclude the public is consuming the wrong information.
Their solution is always to regulate speech, monitor communications, and now even redesign the algorithms that determine what people watch.

Once government decides it can choose which opinions deserve greater visibility, freedom of speech becomes little more than a slogan.

Britain is discovering what every empire eventually learns.
When governments begin fearing their own citizens more than they fear losing liberty, censorship always follows.
It never ends with one platform, one algorithm, or one law.
It grows until the government believes it owns the truth itself, and history has never been kind to nations that reach that point.”
