Until government policies begin to affect you personally, it’s easy to remain indifferent. In my view, Jordan Peterson was once aligned with progressive ideals—until those very ideals turned on him.
On this blog, we tend to focus not on attacking the CBC, but rather on exposing the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC). While the CRTC may not imprison individuals for controversial opinions, it plays a significant role in regulating—and arguably soft-censoring—what can be shared through media platforms under its jurisdiction. If your message doesn’t align with what the CRTC considers representative of Canadian heritage, you can face enough regulatory resistance that your voice is effectively pushed off the airwaves.
Unlike the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which operates within a market-driven framework, the CRTC actively supports and shapes domestic media. This government support, in my view, creates an indirect form of censorship. By propping up preferred narratives, the CRTC marginalizes dissenting perspectives, often under the banner of protecting Canadian values.
This is precisely why I believe the Online Harms Act (Bill C-63) did not emerge in a vacuum. The regulatory groundwork laid by the CRTC has long encouraged a culture of compliance, where creators are nudged—or forced—toward content that aligns with state-approved messaging. As a Canadian, Jordan Peterson must have been aware of this framework. It’s hard to imagine he didn’t foresee how the CRTC’s influence would gradually condition the population to accept increasingly authoritarian controls under the guise of cultural preservation and safety.
In the United States, legislation tends to emphasize market freedoms. In Canada, “heritage” is often used as the justification for government-mandated content filtering. Once you normalize censorship, the slippery slope toward totalitarianism is well underway.
Personally, I avoid traditional social media platforms. While I post on blogs, I choose not to participate in influencer culture. Social media is often both toxic and intoxicating. The rush of popularity can cloud judgment, and once a government begins to regulate what is acceptable speech, the consequences for stepping out of line can be swift.
To be clear: I do not support the Online Harms Act, Bill C-63. I support Christ, who died so that we might live in truth—not under censorship. During His time, Jesus operated in a heavily regulated society under the Roman Empire, which—although tolerant of different customs—expected loyalty above all else. Meanwhile, Jewish authorities added another layer of restriction. One of their accusations against Jesus was that He healed on the Sabbath, which they considered a violation of the law.
Pause and consider that: healing the sick on a Saturday was considered a punishable offense. Now fast-forward to 2025. Look at the complex regulations the Canadian government is placing on its citizens under the guise of “safety” or “inclusivity.” Jesus told us to build the Kingdom of God within ourselves. He never instructed us to blindly follow state-imposed doctrines. In fact, the commandments He left behind did not include rigid ritualism but emphasized love, truth, and liberty.
In His time, speaking against authorities was considered blasphemy. Yet Jesus stood for freedom, justice, and bodily autonomy—principles now under threat. Today’s collectivist ideologies, from socialism to centralized censorship regimes, aren’t new. History is full of examples of governments that stalled human progress by denying individuals their God-given rights.
The Online Harms Act is one more attempt to consolidate power by treating everyone as guilty until proven compliant. There’s no mention of promoting education, critical thinking, or grassroots accountability—only top-down control from the state. It reeks of authoritarianism in digital form.
We’re watching a Canadian version of North Korea’s information model unfold—complete with Cuban-style political filtering and Chinese-style algorithmic censorship. This is the fruit of atheism, not progress.
Christ showed us what true freedom looks like. Whether you believe in God or not, Jesus Christ remains the only figure in history to accurately represent the Kingdom of God. When we empower the state to control our thoughts, our speech, and our beliefs, we’re voluntarily turning away from that Kingdom.
Consider making Jesus Christ your Lord and Savior today.
