Government appointees telling Canadians what is ‘true’ and what isn’t is a system designed to be abused.

As Blacklocks Reporter revealed, the Trudeau government is planning to spend $7 million on ‘media truth monitors,’ but the government won’t say who they are:

“Government-sponsored fact checkers were not publicly identified. One is a group led by a former Toronto Star executive.”

Notably, the Toronto Star has received government funding under the Liberals, as pointed out by Rachel Curran:

“…cabinet will spend $7 million to hire monitors to “critically assess online news reporting” in election-year coverage. One [gov’t-sponsored fact checker] is a group led by a former Toronto Star executive” – a group that has received nearly $600K in gov’t contracts since 2015.”

And while the Trudeau Liberals are trying to downplay all of this, people are realizing how disturbing and Orwellian it is:

“Gov’t controlling the news. Welcome to the new Soviet Union. Unbelievable.”

“What needs to happen is the opposition must somehow make it clear to voters that this is unacceptable. The gov’t is simply taking over the media using tax dollars to do so. It is astounding that people are not more up in arms about it. #wakeup!!!!”

“Interesting. I always thought that “fact checking” was based on verifying the facts, events, material evidence and logical support for a claim, not who made the claim… And who is going to be deciding “where this information is coming from, [and] what their objective is”??”

This looks like an incredibly unworkable and ridiculous new government policy. There's no way there could be unbiased objective assessments of what is fake or half-truth news. Newspapers should be treated the same as any other media. Why would be newspapers be exempted? — Alan Davidson (@aldavidson99) January 31, 2019

Newspapers are likely exempt because they've already been paid off to the tune of $595,000,000 of tax payer money to continue their support for the Liberal Party. — Patrick Sweeney (@psweeney85) February 1, 2019

Canadians must stand against this authoritarian assault

If the government is allowed to get away with this, our freedom of speech and democracy will be shredded. Government ‘media truth monitors’ are something you expect in a soviet state, not a supposedly free country.

Spread the word on this Big Brother-style garbage, and support independent sources of information that are fighting back against the dangerous Trudeau government.
