    Great, now you can run someone’s name through the mud for no reason whatsoever, and they can’t sue you. This is a horrible day for democracy as now you must play within the rules of society (which are established by 9 people) or you will be played as a fool in the media and you can’t do a darn thing about it. This change doesn’t really matter to the average person today until it is them who is targeted by the media as the devil, yet has really done nothing “wrong”. This has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with the powers that be holding onto power and censoring (via public shaming) of anyone who doesn’t agree with their opinion!!!

    Canada it is time for a revolution.
