The Canadian government, under the far-left extremist government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, is looking to pass legislation called the Online Harms Act, which will make “harmful content” a criminal offense. Harmful content includes content that “foments hatred.”

Excerpt from  www.fasken.com:

The Act targets seven types of online harms that it deems to be “harmful content”:

• intimate content communicated without consent;
• content that sexually victimizes a child or revictimizes a survivor;
• content that induces a child to harm themselves;
• content used to bully a child;
• content that foments hatred
• content that incites violence; and
• content that incites violent extremism or terrorism.

“Intimate content communicated without consent” means a visual recording where a person is nude, exposes sexual organs or particular regions, or is engaged in explicit sexual activity, where there is a reasonable expectation of privacy, and the person does not consent to the recording being communicated. Such content also includes a visual recording that falsely presents a person in the above manners, including deepfakes, if it is reasonable to suspect that the person does not consent to the recording being communicated.

Notably, the Act does not define hate, but does clarify that content does not incite hatred solely because it “expresses disdain or dislike or it discredits, humiliates, hurts or offends”.

At long last, after holdouts Turkey and Hungary finally acquiesced and removed their opposition, Sweden is officially a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, or NATO, which recently experienced a revival after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Volodymyr Zelensky, the President of Ukraine, perhaps characterized the nature of Sweden’s radical switch from neutrality to joining NATO, stating “one more country in Europe has become more protected from Russian evil.”

It remains a debated point as to the veracity of such claims, but, nonetheless, Europe’s perception of that “truthfulness” is largely the reason Sweden is now a member of NATO.

Ukraine’s President, Volodymyr Zelensky, survived an assassination attempt by Russia that saw his convoy struck by a Russian missile. In that convoy was the Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis. The missile struck outside of Odessa less than 800 meters from the two world leaders.

UKRAINE’S President Volodymyr Zelensky has survived an alleged attempt on his life while touring the Black Sea port of Odessa.

He claimed other people died and were injured when a Russian missile struck near his motorcade.

The attack was launched at his line of cars while he was with Greek Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis.

Both delegates were a mere 500 to 800 metres from the strike which killed five people, according to a Ukrainian navy spokesperson.

Zelensky told reporters soon afterwards: “Do you see who we are dealing with? It doesn’t matter where you hit.

“I know that there were victims today. I don’t know what other details, but I know there were victims.

“I know there are dead and wounded. This is a blow. My condolences.”

The delegation heard sirens and a big explosion as they headed towards their cars, Mitsotakis said.

Zelensky continued: “It doesn’t matter whether they are military or civilians.

“Whoever they are, there are international guests [the Greek premier]. These people [the Russians] don’t care.
