BREAKING: Liberals just tabled the Protecting Victims Act – 158 pages of new Criminal Code changes.
Femicide (hate-motivated murder of women) = automatic first-degree. Bans non-consensual deepfake porn, criminalizes coercive control, and cracks down on online grooming of kids. Sounds great… until you see the revived mandatory minimums, expanded hate definitions, and trial-delay fixes that could fast-track prosecutions. Is this real justice for victims — or Online Harms Act 2.0 in disguise?
PLUS live updates:
Bill C-9 (Combatting Hate Act) still stalled in committee after the Bloc-Liberal deal to gut religious hate-speech exemptions blew up (CCCB letter, Conservative filibuster — clause-by-clause possibly tomorrow).
Bill C-15 (Budget Implementation) just failed second reading on a Conservative amendment (massive new tax/transfer pricing powers for ministers).
Nico & Rob rip it all apart — before any of it becomes law.
