Canada to Begin Jailing Citizens Who ‘Might’ Commit Crimes

Original article here.


Canada’s far-left government is moving to usher in draconian new powers that allow authorities to begin jailing citizens who “might” commit a crime.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s World Economic Forum-controlled cabinet is pushing for the new “pre-crime” authority which officials claim will help to tackle so-called “hate crimes.”

The new powers are buried in Trudeau’s “Online Harms Bill,” which is expected to soon be signed into law, the Daily Telegraph reports.

The “Online Harms Bill” is designed to crack down on any opposition to the progressive agenda of Trudeau’s ruling Liberal Party.

One of the measures within the bill would give judges the power to imprison individuals if they believe they “might” commit a crime in the future.

To supposedly stop a “hate crime,” judges will be able to place citizens under house arrest and force them to wear an electronic tag.

Although the bill does include a clampdown on issues such as child pornography, much of its language revolves around battling so-called “hate speech.”

Canadian Justice Minister Arif Virani declared the legislation could play a “very important” role in preventing criticism of minorities.

”[If] there’s a genuine fear of an escalation, then an individual or group could come forward and seek a peace bond against them and to prevent them from doing certain things,” Virani explained.

“That would help to de-radicalize people who are learning things online and acting out in the real world violently – sometimes fatally.

“What’s really critical is that it gives the judge a wonderful range of sentences,” he continued.

“This is not a mandatory minimum of a life sentence, this is just a larger range, including what would be the maximum sentence.”
