8:30 – Bill C-10, which outlines changes to Canada’s Broadcasting Act, has come under significant criticism recently because of the powers it would give government to regulate and police online content. Despite what the federal Liberals are saying, former CRTC national commissioner Timothy Denton says the bill is “all about censorship.” Denton calls C-10 “a panicked reaction of elites to the power of the Internet,” and “clearly intended to allow speech control at the government’s discretion,” and he joins Gormley to tell us more.
