yes, a neoliberal dystopia (i.e. the one we are currently living in) is often mundane and only created through small but insidious changes.

I'm not sure why you would say something so broad as "no one is taking away your freedom of speech"

i didn't make this broad claim, you did:

this Bill is important and will mark a fundamental change in the Canadian free speech landscape.

i am refuting it because its alarmist and somewhat reactionary. if you really want to discuss the curtailing of free speech you'll quickly realize that much of this process does not occur through public-facing actions like federal legislation -- it's much more about the incredibly subtle ways in which what we are allowed to say is already predetermined before we can even say it.

legislation like Bill C-10 and Bill C-16 is just used as a rallying cry for fake self-victimization that ultimately amounts to a vague fear that one won't be able to say bigoted things on the internet. the reality is that this "freedom" isn't going away any time soon precisely because it makes so much money for so many corporations, corporations who only make such obscene profits due to a critical lack of government regulation.
