How strange that this is not seen as a punishable offense? I'm not Canadian, not familiar with sedition laws there, but there are countries where articles like these would put you in jail immediately.
Edit: Maybe someone with legal experience can explain it using this as reference: https://www.criminalcodehelp.ca/offences/crimes-against-authority/what-is-sedition/ ?
Wow, I figured we didn't have laws like that here. A few years ago we had a bunch of honkies drive on down to Ottawa. They had a website with their plans, and they literally said they were going there to overthrow the government. If you want here is a Wikipedia article about them
They got some house arrest
Edit: I have added a Wayback link to the MOU.
Not to worry.
Canada Unity worked hard to scrub it from their servers after the fact, claiming it was being used incorrectly (aka they realized they had published evidence on their website after having whipped up a frenzie about authoritarian rule (and fell silent just a couple years later when the Premier started doing actual charter and rights violations)).
They also did an award ceremony for the on the ground leaders; I guess if you instigate enough fights with homeless people in shelters and cause X billion in economic damage, you gather enough PPoints for a victory lap and some timbits.
But it's been archived.
For none Canadians, they are called honkies because they honked their horns for week, not because they are country bumpkins.
I'm positive there was some overlap, but still mostly separate circles in a Venn diagram.
They also shit on people's lawns.
Although I disagree with the items being sold I wouldn't want to live in a country where you'd go to jail because of it.
Better not join USA then ;)
Try selling/saying/teaching/thinking something pro Palestine in the united states (are they even a real country when it's just a bunch of gay states in a civil union?) and see what happens.
I’m really curious what you mean by this.
Ahshhhhahhaa
You mod conservative.
That explains why you got so twitchy about the fact you live in a gay state that is illegally married.
Suck the shit out of Satan's asshole you twiddly cum drunk musktard.
...You are aware of what happened to the Conservative community, right? Satan runs it because it got taken over after being unmoderated and it was funny to take control of it from the actual conservatives. It's not an actual conservative community anymore, it makes fun of them instead.
The conservative communities I run are very much for conservatives and satire isn’t allowed.
Now that bigotry, transphobia and misinformation aren’t allowed they aren’t as active as they once were though.
Quite unfortunate. Such a community has no place on Lemmy.
They're just united states. It isn't really a marriage. Just states, joined in unholy matrimony. How can they be a real country if it is just a civil union?
Under the current admin civil unions (gay marriage ) will soon be illegal.
Also, musk said Canada wasn't a real country so it's also a play on that.
Edit: Aww. Two Sad people with no humour who love America and no reading comprehensiom skills (redundant, i know) Well at least i don't live in that shithole country. If you think I am being homophobic or hyperbolic, your reading skills need work.
We have a "charter of rights and freedoms" in particular: https://www.justice.gc.ca/eng/csj-sjc/rfc-dlc/ccrf-ccdl/check/art2b.html. So as much as I dislike this kind of stuff they are still allowed to have it.
See the thing is there are tons of these fucks who have badges….
There is a Rage Against the Machine song that comes to mind.
