OTTAWA (LifeSiteNews) — Canada’s Senate has passed an amended version of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government’s controversial internet censorship bill targeting online video content.
Bill C-11, titled An Act to Amend the Broadcasting Act and to Make Related and Consequential Amendments to other Acts, passed Thursday with 43 votes in favor and 15 opposed, with multiple amendments added.
Due to the fact that the bill – which one senator said is something Stalin would support – was passed with amendments and not as written, it is not yet law and has to be revisited by lawmakers in the House of Commons.
All Conservative-appointed senators present in the Senate chamber voted “no” to the bill, while only three senators appointed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau voted against it.
Many took to social media to blast the controversial bill’s passing, including Senator Denise Batters, who wrote:
Tonight, Justin Trudeau’s Fake “Independent” Senate passed the awful Bill #C11. Now, it returns to the #HoC.
Only 3 Trudeau-appointed senators voted NO.
From #Sask, only Sen. Wallin + I voted NO.
Zero Alberta senators voted NO.#SenCA
