Tim Stephens: Online Streaming Act
A signpost in Canada's religious exchange
The Online Streaming Act (aka Bill C-11 or “An Act to amend the Broadcasting Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts”) has garnered attention in the news and in the Christian world. It’s been dubbed by critics as a censorship bill with some warning that it will fundamentally change the availability of information in Canada through the internet and the many platforms that depend upon it.
You can read the bill for yourself here, but how it will be interpreted, applied, and enforced will be another matter altogether. Time will tell whether fears are justified and the predictions correct.
What I wish to do is give a brief analysis of the worldview or religious convictions behind this bill which will shortly become law in Canada. This piece of legislation is downstream of the religious exchange in our country from Christianity to an atheistic progressive socialism which gets its moral compass from Marx rather than Moses and its promised salvation in human government rather than Christ and his kingdom.
