WARNING : The embedded video of the press conference at one point contains a use of the f-word .
November 19 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — President Donald Trump ’ s attorney , Rudy Giuliani , said his team has identified more than twice the number of legally-invalid ballots necessary to eliminate former Vice President Joe Biden ’ s lead in the states comprising his presumptive Electoral College victory , laying out some of the evidence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ announced that the conference would demonstrate a “ very clear and viable path to victory , ” to bolster his campaign ’ s pursuit of recounts and litigation over voting irregularities in a handful of states .
Giuliani said that in Pennsylvania ( where Biden leads Trump by 82,354 ) , almost that number were counted without representatives of the Trump campaign being allowed to meaningfully observe , which he argued means those ballots should be declared “ null and void.
” In addition , he said , voters were given greater opportunity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ errors on ballots than that prescribed by state law , and that individuals will testify that they had to cast provisional ballots because someone else had already voted in their name .
Giuliani claimed that this happened to 15,000 voters out of 17,000 provisional ballots cast .
Moving on to Michigan ( where Biden leads by 155,629 ) , Giuliani detailed the allegations of Jessy Jacob , a Detroit election worker who says under oath that she “ directly observed , on a daily basis , City of Detroit election workers and employees @ @ @ @ @ @ @ vote for Joe Biden and the Democrat Party , ” and that a supervisor instructed her “ to adjust the mailing date of these absentee ballot packages to be dated earlier than they were actually sent , ” as well as to not ask for photo identification or look for errors or deficiencies on ballots .
A Michigan judge had criticized Jacob ’ s affidavit on November 13 , arguing her “ information is generalized .
It asserts behavior with no date , location or frequency or names of employees .
In addition @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of whether she took steps to address the alleged misconduct or to ( alert ) any supervisor about the alleged voter fraud.
” In Wisconsin ( where Biden leads by 20,608 ) , Giuliani said the Trump campaign has identified roughly 100,000 absentee ballots between the left-wing cities of Madison and Milwaukee that the voter never requested , which he claimed was in violation of state law .
He also alleged that Republicans were shut out from ballot inspection in both cities , which also saw thousands of late ballots that had been @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anywhere from 150 percent to 300 percent more votes than there were registered voters ( critics have responded that at least some of this amount can be explained by the fact that Wisconsin allows new voters to register on Election Day ) .
Giuliani added that the Trump campaign is also examining irregularities in Arizona , New Mexico , and even Virginia , though it has not decided if it will pursue formal challenges in all those states .
Regardless , he said that overall they have identified more than twice the number @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that Trump was the true election winner .
“ Joe Biden is in the lead because of invalid and illegal ballots , ” Giuliani declared .
“ Give us an opportunity to prove it in court , and we will.
” Attorney Sidney Powell also spoke about alleged problems with voting machines provided by the company Dominion Voting Systems and powered by software from the company Smartmatic .
She claimed she can demonstrate in court that the machines were used to alter massive numbers of votes ; she says this is why counting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ night , then resumed the next morning with sudden influxes of Biden votes .
The Trump campaign ’ s livestream of the press conference suffered from technical problems , starting with it initially airing without sound .
During the question-and-answer period , two unidentified voices can be heard mentioning “ leaked Zoom info , ” speculating if they can be hard on the stream , and mocking Giuliani ’ s appearance .
They also use the f-word at one point .
The stream was temporarily taken down shortly afterward : Most national news @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden , though election results have not been officially certified yet .
The Trump campaign says it ’ s still pursuing legal challenges in several states , and a partial recount begins Friday in Wisconsin .

In 1984 , he had been called to Rome to explain certain ideas in his work The Church : Charisma and Power .
In response to allegations regarding his “ Theology of Liberation , ” Boff declared that he was not inspired by Karl Marx .
“ I declare I am not a Marxist , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Christian and a Franciscan , I am in favor of liberties , of rights , of religion , and of the noble struggle for justice toward a new society.

“ Liberation theology , a toxic mixture of low Christology and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ anti-Catholic under John Paul II during the reign of Ratzinger in the CDF , ” he continued .
“ As usual , Liberation Theology gains its mileage from a selective and equivocal use of the Gospel message .

Let's get to 4000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Young Poles defending their church against pro-abortion aggression stemming from the decision of the country's Constitutional Court to protect the lives of sick unborn babies. Photo Credit: Polonia Christiana Since the Constitutional Court of Poland's decision on October 22nd to protect and vindicate the right to life of sick preborn children, leftist pro-abort feminists have been attacking churches, government officials and pro-lifers across Poland in a foul display of bloody-minded vulgarity. But, we STAND with Poland. And, we PRAY for Poland. Please WATCH this video which congratulates faithful Catholics in Poland for their pro-life example and for standing up to rioters trying to vandalize statues, churches. We now call on all pro-lifers, faithful Christians (especially in the Polish diaspora) and pro-life organizations to SIGN this petition to encourage pro-lifers in Poland, the Polish Constitutional Court, and especially the Polish Government to remain steadfastly pro-life right now. And we call on all faithful Polish Catholics to defend their churches and patriotic monuments! This is the time to keep faith with generations of Polish heroes and "Be not afraid!" This is not the time for the Government to give-in to demands from the opposition. Stand up against the people who are attacking your churches while baying for the blood of innocent preborn children! And, explain to your people how the Court was RIGHT to have challenged the abortion law allowing the barbaric practice of eugenic abortion. Poland is a republican democracy, and in such a democracy, the Constitutional Court has the last say on matters of national importance. The Polish Court has spoken, and its ruling should be respected and implemented. And, under no circumstances should the Polish Government promise to reverse this decision in law or by granting a referendum on the same. Poland, be courageous and stand fast for Life. Don't give in to the Culture of Death! Thank you for your example, Poland. Now, remain strong! And, thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition of support and solidarity with the Constitutional Court of Poland's decision to disallow eugenic abortion.

Defending Francis from early speculation that he was an arch-conservative, Boff suggested that the former Archbishop of Buenos Aires had just been prudently toeing a party line when it came to hot-button issues.
“The Vatican prescribed it that way: all high-ranking prelates had to keep in line. Nothing was to be questioned. But that can change now,” Boff told German news magazine Der Spiegel.
In that interview, Boff expressed himself pleased that the new pontiff had taken the name Francis, for in his view “Francis of Assisi stands for a church for the poor and the oppressed, for environmental awareness and against opulence.”

The injustices they are concerned about are real, but the interpretations and solutions they propose are not only dubious but, in many cases, philosophically absurd and theologically heretical.”
According to the website of its Vatican sponsor, the Dicastery for Promoting Integral Human Development, “Economy of Francesco” conference is bringing together such seasoned thinkers as Boff and Sachs with “young economists and entrepreneurs.” Apparently, the “Economy of Francis” is already an established movement “of young people with faces, personalities and ideas, which is present and growing around the world in order to change the current economy and give a soul to the economy of tomorrow.” According to the National Catholic Register, “some 2,000” people under 35 are taking part online.

November 19, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — The American Institute for Economy Research (AIER) released a report yesterday affirming that virtually all aspects of day-to-day life have been harmed by the COVID-19 lockdowns. The report, containing evidence compiled from various studies, assesses the damage inflicted by the lockdowns across a spectrum of quality-of-life issues, including mental health, the economy, unemployment, crime, and education.
Mental Health
CDC numbers released in August revealed that adults’ suicidal thoughts more than doubled, with 10.7 percent reporting thoughts of suicide compared with 4.3 percent in 2018, and a whopping one in four young adults ages 18-24 reporting suicidal ideation in late June. At that time, 40 percent of American adults said they were struggling with mental health. Anxiety symptoms had tripled, and depression symptoms had quadrupled compared with 2019 rates.
Children have not been immune from the mental health toll of the lockdowns either. The CDC reported that mental health-related emergency room visits shot up by 24 percent for children age 5-11, and by 31 percent for children age 12-17, compared with 2019.
Unemployment
Quite remarkably, the unemployment rate increase to 14.7 percent in April 2020 was reported to be the highest rate of unemployment, and the “largest over-the-month increase” since 1948, when these data were first recorded.
The pandemic’s impact seems to have hit the lower-income bracket particularly hard. “In March, 39 percent of people living with a household income of $40,000 and below reported a job loss.”
The food and hospitality industry received such a blow that the report devoted a section just to their losses. The restaurant industry alone was reported as “set to lose” eight million employees in 2020.
Loss of childcare during the COVID-19 crisis has also taken its toll. “One out of four women who were surveyed reported their job loss was due to lack of childcare, twice the rate of men surveyed,” reported The Washington Post.
Crime
While the media and politicians focus on the number of deaths associated with COVID-19, deaths resulting from crime increased substantially during the lockdowns. A 53 percent increase in homicides was reported for the period of June through August by the National Commission on COVID-19 and Criminal Justice, which was an apparent surge from already-increased homicide numbers.
Statistics released by the FBI in September revealed that murder and non-negligent manslaughter offenses increased by 14.8 percent during the first half of 2020. There have been spikes in reports of domestic abuse as well, as indicated by a 25 percent increase in calls made to the U.K. domestic abuse charity Refuge since the onset of lockdowns.

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (12/14/2020) - The vaccine roll out is beginning in the United States, and first responders have been tagged as those likely to be among the first to receive a vaccine. President Trump needs to ensure that this is entirely voluntary. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition, today! _______________________________________________________________________ Early reports suggest that the U.S. military could be first on the list of those ordered to take a COVID vaccine. But, no one should be forced to be vaccinated against his or her will, especially members of the U.S. military! Military men and women, and their families, already sacrifice enough for the safety of our country. Forcing them to take an untested and unproven vaccine, against their will, would violate the spirit of their contract with America. This petition says 'No' to treating our servicemen and women like guinea pigs with an unproven and insufficiently-tested vaccine. Please SIGN this petition to President Trump asking him to declare, as Commander-in-Chief, that members of the armed forces will not be forced to take any COVID vaccine. So far, big pharmaceutical companies have reported casualties and halted trials for a COVID vaccine on numerous occasions: An AstraZeneca COVID trial participant died over the summer.
On October 12, Eli Lilly stopped a COVID antibody trial because of safety concerns.
Johnson and Johnson paused their vaccine trials on October 11 because one participant had an "unexplained" illness.
And, other AstraZeneca trials in the UK were put on hold both in July and September after participants developed a "serious neurological condition that might have been caused by the vaccine." No one, especially in the U.S. military, should be used as a guinea pig for proving the "effectiveness" of any COVID vaccine. Apart from these real health concerns, many military men and women object to vaccines made from aborted fetal cell lines and to other unethical testing, and these ethical considerations should also be honored. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which calls on President Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, to issue a declaration protecting the right of servicemen and women to exercise conscientious objection in relation to a mandate for them to take a COVID vaccine. Just like it was essential for President Trump to nominate a new Supreme Court justice before the election, it is now essential that the President declare any vaccine to be voluntary for the military before January, just in case there is a transition to a new administration. Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this urgent petition to President Trump, today!

Health care
The report revealed marked decreases in diagnoses, referrals, and treatment for diseases other than COVID-19. For example, the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) reported a 75 percent decrease in U.K. suspected cancer referrals since the beginning of COVID-19 restrictions, and a 46.4 percent decline in diagnoses for six cancers in the United States since 2018.
“When cancer becomes more advanced before it is detected, it becomes a ticking time bomb,” noted Debra Patt, MD, Ph.D, the lead author of a study on the impact of Covid-19 on cancer care.
“The decrease in screenings, diagnosis, and treatments this year will lead to later-stage cancers for patients, increasing morbidity and mortality for years to come.”
Lockdowns getting stricter
In many parts of the world, lockdowns are getting stricter after a surge in positive COVID-19 tests in recent weeks. Austria has essentially placed residents under house arrest, with certain exceptions for basic grocery shopping, and several other reasons.
In the United States, Republican Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine announced a curfew from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m. for the next three weeks, starting today.
The Pennsylvania Department of Health, led by a man pretending to be a woman, indicated that masks need to be worn at home, “where another person or persons who are not members of the individual’s household are present in the same space, irrespective of physical distance.”
More states have begun to implement other restrictions ahead of Thanksgiving Day next week.

Whitmer’s new orders include a prohibition on indoor eating in restaurants and bars, but also went further to place limits on Thanksgiving celebrations. Only 10 people from a maximum of two households are permitted to mix indoors under her new rules.
The orders state further that “All persons participating in gatherings are required to wear a face mask.”
The Hill noted that while the Michigan Supreme Court cut down many of Whitmer’s orders pertaining to COVID-19, “The state quickly reissued them through DHHS.”

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition PETITION UPDATE (12/14/2020) - The vaccine roll out is beginning in the United States, and first responders have been tagged as those likely to be among the first to receive a vaccine. President Trump needs to ensure that this is entirely voluntary. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition, today! _______________________________________________________________________ Early reports suggest that the U.S. military could be first on the list of those ordered to take a COVID vaccine. But, no one should be forced to be vaccinated against his or her will, especially members of the U.S. military! Military men and women, and their families, already sacrifice enough for the safety of our country. Forcing them to take an untested and unproven vaccine, against their will, would violate the spirit of their contract with America. This petition says 'No' to treating our servicemen and women like guinea pigs with an unproven and insufficiently-tested vaccine. Please SIGN this petition to President Trump asking him to declare, as Commander-in-Chief, that members of the armed forces will not be forced to take any COVID vaccine. So far, big pharmaceutical companies have reported casualties and halted trials for a COVID vaccine on numerous occasions: An AstraZeneca COVID trial participant died over the summer.
On October 12, Eli Lilly stopped a COVID antibody trial because of safety concerns.
Johnson and Johnson paused their vaccine trials on October 11 because one participant had an "unexplained" illness.
And, other AstraZeneca trials in the UK were put on hold both in July and September after participants developed a "serious neurological condition that might have been caused by the vaccine." No one, especially in the U.S. military, should be used as a guinea pig for proving the "effectiveness" of any COVID vaccine. Apart from these real health concerns, many military men and women object to vaccines made from aborted fetal cell lines and to other unethical testing, and these ethical considerations should also be honored. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which calls on President Trump, as Commander-in-Chief, to issue a declaration protecting the right of servicemen and women to exercise conscientious objection in relation to a mandate for them to take a COVID vaccine. Just like it was essential for President Trump to nominate a new Supreme Court justice before the election, it is now essential that the President declare any vaccine to be voluntary for the military before January, just in case there is a transition to a new administration. Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this urgent petition to President Trump, today!

WASHINGTON , D.C. , November 19 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) — A report released by the Pew Research Center ( PRC ) shows that a majority of Catholics surveyed in Western Europe , the Americas , and across the world support either homosexual “ marriage ” or homosexuality as such — contrary to the official teaching of the Catholic Church .

Official Church teaching describes homosexuality as ‘intrinsically disordered’ and something that ‘can in no case be approved of.’
WASHINGTON, D.C., November 19, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) — A report released by the Pew Research Center (PRC) shows that a majority of Catholics surveyed in Western Europe, the Americas, and across the world support either homosexual “marriage” or homosexuality as such — contrary to the official teaching of the Catholic Church.

The report mentions a 2019 survey, which highlighted that 61 percent of U.S. Catholics were in favor of marriage between two persons of the same sex. Thirty-one percent of Catholics were against the idea.
However, support for same-sex “marriage” among Catholics in the United States is somewhat dwarfed by the figures found in many Western European countries.

Canadian Catholics were even more opposed to Church teaching in their views, with 87 percent supporting homosexuality. The result remained largely similar in the Americas as a whole, with Brazil, Mexico and Argentina all showing above 70 percent support for homosexuality among Catholics.

Let's get to 25000 ! Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Remarks attributed to Pope Francis (and, not denied by the Vatican) in support of homosexual civil unions have caused grave scandal to the faithful. Please SIGN this urgent petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify these heterodox and scandalous remarks on homosexual civil unions, and which will be delivered both to the Vatican and to the Papal Nuncio of the United States (the Pope's official representative in the U.S.). As the last guarantor of the Faith, the Pope should clarify and rectify these remarks, which go against the perennial teaching of the Church, even including the teaching of his living predecessor, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. "What we have to create is a law of civil coexistence [meaning civil union law, for homosexuals]...," Pope Francis is reported to have remarked, in what is arguably his clearest statement of public support for a practice morally prohibited by official Catholic Church teaching. In fact, the Church has been crystal clear in Her opposition to homosexual unions. Just in 2003, Pope Saint John Paul II approved a document from the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, titled 'Considerations Regarding Proposals to Give Legal Recognition to Unions between Homosexual Persons' and written by Cardinal Ratzinger (now, Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI), which concludes with the following: "The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions. The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society. Legal recognition of homosexual unions or placing them on the same level as marriage would mean not only the approval of deviant behaviour, with the consequence of making it a model in present-day society, but would also obscure basic values which belong to the common inheritance of humanity. The Church cannot fail to defend these values, for the good of men and women and for the good of society itself." It could not be more clear: the Church is calling people to repentance, not to be left to indulge in grave sin. Since becoming public, several senior prelates as well as other notable Catholic figures have voiced their opposition to these remarks attributed to the Pontiff. Cardinal Raymond Burke stated: "It is a source of deepest sadness and pressing pastoral concern that the private opinions reported with so much emphasis by the press and attributed to Pope Francis do not correspond to the constant teaching of the Church, as it is expressed in Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition." Cardinal Gerhard Müller commented: "Where there is tension between the plain and obvious Word of God and the infallible interpretation on the one hand, and private expressions of opinion even by the highest church authorities on the other, the principle always applies: in dubio pro DEO [When in doubt, be in favor of God]." And, Catholic theologian and apologist Scott Hahn, without directly quoting Pope Francis, shared on Facebook the 'Letter to the Bishops of the Catholic Church on the Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons,' published by the CDF in 1986, with the statement: "Holy Father, respectfully and humbly, I beg to differ... if that is indeed what you said. In any case, please clarify and rectify your statement, especially in view of the official teaching of our Lord through the magisterium of His Church." But, the silence from the Vatican has been deafening, with no clarification forthcoming. We must, therefore, ask the Pope for clarification in this serious matter. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which asks Pope Francis to clarify and rectify remarks attributed to him in support of homosexual civil unions. FOR MORE INFORMATION: 'Cdl.

The report did note that “in Poland, Catholics are less likely than non-Catholics to say homosexuality should be accepted by society.”
Role of Pope Francis
The role of Pope Francis in the views of Catholics who were part of the various surveys cannot be ignored. PRC itself mentioned him in the very first line of the report, highlighting the Pope’s recent comments in support of same-sex civil unions. PRC also added that Pope Francis’s words “struck many observers as a shift for the Vatican — which in 2003 came out against any ‘legal recognition of homosexual unions.’”
However, the most recent survey referenced in the report was conducted in 2019, with others being up to five years old. Thus, the Pope’s comments had not been taken into account by participants of the surveys.
Nevertheless, the Pope famously asked already in 2013, “Who am I to judge?” He was responding to a question about credible accusations against Msgr. Battista Ricca, head of the Pope’s residence in the Vatican, of being involved in homosexual acts. The media quickly ran with the phrase, creating the impression that Church teaching on homosexuality was changing. The comment has yet to be clarified by the Vatican.
While the Pope has previously maintained the teaching that marriage is only between one man and one woman, he has also given many conflicting signs about his personal views on homosexuality and same-sex civil unions.
Pope Francis also caused confusion by meeting with various priests known for their pro-homosexual views and public pro-LGBT activism. Pope Francis has now met with pro-LGBT Fr. James Martin, SJ three times, despite Martin being repeatedly publicly criticized for his deviation from Church teaching regarding homosexuality and same-sex “marriage.”
Before to his most recent comments on civil unions, the Pope reportedly told U.S. bishops during their ad limina visit that same-sex civil unions can be accepted.
The 2003 letter “Considerations regarding proposals to give legal recognition to unions between homosexual persons,” published by the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith under Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, who later became Pope Benedict XVI, reaffirms that “homosexual acts go against the natural moral law,” and cannot be approved.
“The Church teaches that respect for homosexual persons cannot lead in any way to approval of homosexual behaviour or to legal recognition of homosexual unions,” the document continues. “The common good requires that laws recognize, promote and protect marriage as the basis of the family, the primary unit of society.”

lifesitenews--2020-11-19--Trudeau government introduces bill to force online media companies to push liberal content

OTTAWA , Ontario , November 19 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) – Justin Trudeau ’ s Liberal government has introduced a bill which , if it becomes law , will require broadcaster to include content that reflects “ Canadian expression ” from Canadians of different “ sexual orientations , gender identities and expressions , and ages.
” Bill C-10 would regulate certain online media services through the creation of a new class of broadcaster called “ online undertakings.
” It is this new class of broadcaster that must include more diverse content .
Described as an “ Act to amend @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and consequential amendments to other Acts , ” Bill C-10 quickly passed its first reading after it was introduced in the House of Commons on November 3 by Prime Minister Trudeau ’ s Heritage Minister Steven Guilbeault .
The new class of “ online undertakings ” outlined in Bill C-10 would be regulated by Canada ’ s broadcast regulator , the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission ( CRTC ) , for the “ transmission or retransmission of programs over the Internet.
” Entities classified as “ online undertakings ” would not have to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , social media companies and content generated by individuals as well as text-based news websites are exempt from having to obtain a license .
The bill raised alarm bells with a Canadian constitutional lawyer who spoke with LifeSiteNews .
Jay Cameron , a lawyer for the Canada-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms told LifeSiteNews that Bill C-10 is the “ first part of the push ” amongst the Trudeau Liberals to limit or regulate speech online that does not follow the party ideology.
” “ It is clear from recent statements by the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ federal government wants to increase control and penalties for speech and content that is not approved of by the ideologues in the Liberal Party .
Unsurprisingly , the purpose of Bill C-10 is not to increase freedom of ‘ thought , belief , opinion , and expression ’ ( section 2 ( b ) of the Charter ) but to further restrict it , ” Cameron told LifeSiteNews .
“ Bill C-10 is the first part of the push .
Production of content ought to be driven by the demand of Canadian consumers @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Canadians ought to be watching.
” Cameron also told LifeSiteNews that everyone should be “ wary ” of the Trudeau Liberals , especially when they start “ tinkering with publishing , broadcasting , and the internet given past comments about how free speech ought to be limited and how online speech/content needs to be regulated.
” According to a backgrounder from Guilbeault ’ s Ministry of Heritage regarding Bill C-10 , the bill will “ clarify that online broadcasting services fall under the Act and it will ensure that the CRTC has the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ modern and flexible regulatory framework for broadcasting.
” “ These tools include the ability to make rules , gather information , and assign penalties for non-compliance .
Additionally , the Bill will support greater diversity and inclusion in the broadcasting sector , ensuring the promotion of a broad range of Canadian views and talent , ” reads the backgrounder .
Bill C-10 ’ s creation of “ online undertakings ” as a “ distinct class of broadcasting undertakings ” would include essentially any service which uses the internet to transmit a program in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ” will be subject to yet to be determined regulations from the CRTC .
These regulations will fall mainly under the direction of the CRTC , however , the bill states that more “ diversity and inclusion ” is required for “ Canadian content ” produced by broadcasters .
This content would have to reflect “ Canadian expression by providing a wide range of programming that reflects Canadian attitudes , ” by the way of “ Canadians from racialized communities and Canadians of diverse ethnocultural backgrounds , socio-economic statuses , abilities and disabilities @ @ @ @ @ @ @ expressions , and ages.
” Bill C-10 will also give Canada ’ s main broadcast authority the power to force large online streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+ to comply with regulations to “ support greater diversity and inclusion in the broadcasting sector , ” and also issue fines for non-compliance .
Under the new bill , popular online streaming companies would have to provide more “ Canadian content ” reflecting Canadian “ values ” as is currently the requirement for traditional TV and radio stations .
The streaming providers will also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support “ Canadian content ” which according to the government would bring in as much as $ 830 million annually .
Gwen Landolt from Real Women of Canada told LifeSiteNews that Bill C-10 is a “ confusing ” piece of “ left-wing legislation ” that was created to serve special interest groups .
“ It ’ s bizarre , this thing is not directed to Canadians at all , but to minorities , it 's scary what they are doing , there is no balance , ” Landolt told LifeSiteNews .
“ I @ @ @ @ @ @ @ badly drafted price of left-wing legislation which is to enable and advance identity groups , including transgender and homosexual groups…It ’ s not going in a balanced fair , direction , it ’ s identity politics.
” Cheryl Gallant , Conservative Party of Canada ( CPC ) Member of Parliament for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke , wrote in a blog post that Bill C-10 is “ a dangerous new Liberal bill ” that will put a “ tax on your TV.
” “ Fresh off Justin Trudeau ’ s limitations of free speech lecture tour , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” wrote Gallant .
“ Bill C-10 , An Act to Amend the Broadcasting Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts , is a dangerous new Liberal bill that hands unbridled power to the government.
” Gallant also put out a call to all of those who “ oppose Bill C-10 ” to contact their local MP via a web form she provided at the bottom of her blog post .
Dr. Michael Geist , a law professor at the University of Ottawa , called Bill C-10 Guilbeault @ @ @ @ @ @ @ giants Internet regulation bill , ” in an opinion piece he wrote in early November .
Geist commented that Bill C-10 “ places the CRTC in an enormously powerful position ” in that it “ will determine how Internet streaming companies must financially contribute in Canada.
” “ Canada is set to become a highly regulated market for Internet streaming services and the uncertainty regarding those costs are sure to have an impact .
The regulatory process will take years to unfold with a call for public comment , a lengthy hearing , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and vary the decision , judicial reviews , and potential judicial appeals , ” wrote Geist .
In September , CPC MP Derek Sloan commented on social media his concerns over any future law which looks to regulate the internet by Guilbeault .
“ Canada ’ s Heritage Minister has drafted a plan to regulate information on the internet .

Guilbeault hinted he would ‘ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The idea of both regulating the internet and forcing providers to pay for more “ Canadian content ” was floated by Guilbeault at the start of 2020 .

Despite taking back those comments after a barrage of protest , the controversial Liberal government report titled “ Canada 's communications @ @ @ @ @ @ @ submitted by Janet Yale , Chair of the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislative Review Panel , recommended that media news outlets be required to be registered in Canada .

Thank you for signing this petition! Add your signature: Show Petition Text Country... State... Sign this Petition Justin Trudeau’s Liberal government has introduced a bill which threatens to seize control of online media content in Canada, putting liberty and freedom at risk. But, the Trudeau Liberals have no right to impose their party's ideology on the Canadian internet! Please SIGN this petition which tells the Trudeau Liberals, as well as the opposition, to leave the internet as a free speech zone! Bill C-10 is causing alarm bells to sound with conservative and Christians, who are concerned that it is the first step towards the destruction of independent online media in Canada. The Bill would require more "diversity and inclusion" content, reflecting the experience of "Canadians from racialized communities and Canadians of diverse ethnocultural backgrounds, socio-economic statuses, abilities and disabilities, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and ages." And, Bill C-10 would also give power to the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to "assign penalties for non-compliance." With this frightening new power, Bill C-10 is a real threat to the freedom of speech of conservatives and Christians in Canada who engage with the entire world about their issues on the internet. Jay Cameron, a lawyer for the Canada-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms told LifeSite: "It is clear from recent statements by the PM and the Heritage Minister that the federal government wants to increase control and penalties for speech and content that is not approved of by the ideologues in the Liberal Party. Unsurprisingly, the purpose of Bill C-10 is not to increase freedom of ‘thought, belief, opinion, and expression’ (section 2(b) of the Charter) but to further restrict it.". Simply put: the chilling effect that this Bill could have on freedom of speech rights is incalculable. Please SIGN and SHARE this petition which tells Trudeau Liberals to stop their attempt to impose their party's ideology on the Canadian internet.

The bill raised alarm bells with a Canadian constitutional lawyer who spoke with LifeSiteNews.
Jay Cameron, a lawyer for the Canada-based Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms told LifeSiteNews that Bill C-10 is the “first part of the push” amongst the Trudeau Liberals to limit or regulate speech online that does not follow the party ideology.”
“It is clear from recent statements by the PM and the Heritage Minister that the federal government wants to increase control and penalties for speech and content that is not approved of by the ideologues in the Liberal Party. Unsurprisingly, the purpose of Bill C-10 is not to increase freedom of ‘thought, belief, opinion, and expression’ (section 2(b) of the Charter) but to further restrict it,” Cameron told LifeSiteNews.
“Bill C-10 is the first part of the push. Production of content ought to be driven by the demand of Canadian consumers, not controlled by what Ottawa thinks Canadians ought to be watching.”
Cameron also told LifeSiteNews that everyone should be “wary” of the Trudeau Liberals, especially when they start “tinkering with publishing, broadcasting, and the internet given past comments about how free speech ought to be limited and how online speech/content needs to be regulated.”
According to a backgrounder from Guilbeault’s Ministry of Heritage regarding Bill C-10, the bill will “clarify that online broadcasting services fall under the Act and it will ensure that the CRTC has the proper tools to put in place a modern and flexible regulatory framework for broadcasting.”
“These tools include the ability to make rules, gather information, and assign penalties for non-compliance. Additionally, the Bill will support greater diversity and inclusion in the broadcasting sector, ensuring the promotion of a broad range of Canadian views and talent,” reads the backgrounder.
Bill C-10’s creation of “online undertakings” as a “distinct class of broadcasting undertakings” would include essentially any service which uses the internet to transmit a program in Canada.
The so-called “online undertakings” will be subject to yet to be determined regulations from the CRTC. These regulations will fall mainly under the direction of the CRTC, however, the bill states that more “diversity and inclusion” is required for “Canadian content” produced by broadcasters.
This content would have to reflect “Canadian expression by providing a wide range of programming that reflects Canadian attitudes,” by the way of “Canadians from racialized communities and Canadians of diverse ethnocultural backgrounds, socio-economic statuses, abilities and disabilities, sexual orientations, gender identities and expressions, and ages.”
Bill C-10 will also give Canada’s main broadcast authority the power to force large online streaming services such as Netflix and Disney+ to comply with regulations to “support greater diversity and inclusion in the broadcasting sector,” and also issue fines for non-compliance.
Under the new bill, popular online streaming companies would have to provide more “Canadian content” reflecting Canadian “values” as is currently the requirement for traditional TV and radio stations.
The streaming providers will also be required to make financial contributions to support “Canadian content” which according to the government would bring in as much as $830 million annually.
Family groups and politicians raise concerns over Bill C-10
Gwen Landolt from Real Women of Canada told LifeSiteNews that Bill C-10 is a “confusing” piece of “left-wing legislation” that was created to serve special interest groups.
“It’s bizarre, this thing is not directed to Canadians at all, but to minorities, it's scary what they are doing, there is no balance,” Landolt told LifeSiteNews.
“I’m worried, this is a badly drafted price of left-wing legislation which is to enable and advance identity groups, including transgender and homosexual groups…It’s not going in a balanced fair, direction, it’s identity politics.”
Cheryl Gallant, Conservative Party of Canada (CPC) Member of Parliament for Renfrew-Nipissing-Pembroke, wrote in a blog post that Bill C-10 is “a dangerous new Liberal bill” that will put a “tax on your TV.”
“Fresh off Justin Trudeau’s limitations of free speech lecture tour, his Minister of Censorship introduced Bill C-10,” wrote Gallant.
“Bill C-10, An Act to Amend the Broadcasting Act and to make related and consequential amendments to other Acts, is a dangerous new Liberal bill that hands unbridled power to the government.”
Gallant also put out a call to all of those who “oppose Bill C-10” to contact their local MP via a web form she provided at the bottom of her blog post.
Dr. Michael Geist, a law professor at the University of Ottawa, called Bill C-10 Guilbeault’s “get money from web giants Internet regulation bill,” in an opinion piece he wrote in early November.
Geist commented that Bill C-10 “places the CRTC in an enormously powerful position” in that it “will determine how Internet streaming companies must financially contribute in Canada.”
“Canada is set to become a highly regulated market for Internet streaming services and the uncertainty regarding those costs are sure to have an impact. The regulatory process will take years to unfold with a call for public comment, a lengthy hearing, the initial decision, applications to review and vary the decision, judicial reviews, and potential judicial appeals,” wrote Geist.
In September, CPC MP Derek Sloan commented on social media his concerns over any future law which looks to regulate the internet by Guilbeault.
“Canada’s Heritage Minister has drafted a plan to regulate information on the internet. Appropriately, his document is secret. This has no place in a Canada any of us would recognize,” wrote Sloan on Twitter in September.
Guilbeault hinted he would ‘regulate’ online media in early 2020
The idea of both regulating the internet and forcing providers to pay for more “Canadian content” was floated by Guilbeault at the start of 2020.
In February, Guilbeault caused free speech advocates to sound the alarm after he said that the Trudeau government was looking at making online news websites and social media platforms obtain a government license in order to be allowed to operate in Canada.
Despite taking back those comments after a barrage of protest, the controversial Liberal government report titled “Canada's communications future: Time to act,” submitted by Janet Yale, Chair of the Broadcasting and Telecommunications Legislative Review Panel, recommended that media news outlets be required to be registered in Canada.
The report said that Canadians “should have access to trusted, accurate, and reliable sources of news reflecting national, regional, and local perspectives from diverse sources and across all platforms.”
In September, Guilbeault’s department told Blacklock’s Reporterthat those who wanted to read documents about internet regulation in Canada they called “confidential discussion paper detailing the regulations” had to first obtain the documents in the way of an ‘Access To Information’ request, which requires a fee.
Lisa Bildy, a lawyer for JCCF told LifeSiteNews at the time her concerns over the idea of regulating the media, saying that any time a government gets involved in the regulation of the press, even if it's billed as protecting citizens from harm, there should be cause for concern.”
“A free and independent press is a cornerstone of democracy and liberty,” she said.
Guilbeault promises more regulation with future potential legislation
The backgrounder on Bill C-10 from the Heritage Ministry states that once the bill has been passed by parliament, Guilbeault intends to ask the “Governor-in-Council to issue a policy direction to the CRTC on how it should use the new regulatory tools provided by the Bill.”
“In consultation with stakeholders, the CRTC will develop and implement new regulations to ensure that both traditional and online broadcasting services, including internet giants, offer meaningful levels of Canadian content and contribute to the creation of Canadian content in both Official Languages,” reads the backgrounder.
On the day Bill C-10 was introduced into parliament, Guilbeault said clearly that this bill is but the first volley of things to come when it comes to regulating the internet.
“There are a number of things that we’re not addressing today that were in the Yale report,” Guilbeault said to reporters.
“We are working on other elements of changes, of modernization to the Canadian ecosystems, but these elements will come further down the road ……to look at another category of web giants, not the same one we’re talking about today, but Facebook and Google and their impact on the Canadian media ecosystem. We are working on tabling a bill to tackle that issue very, very soon.”

lifesitenews--2020-11-19--Republican congressmen call for congressional investigation into 2020 election

WASHINGTON , D.C. , November 19 , 2020 ( LifeSiteNews ) —Two Republican congressman asked the leaders of two key committees to bring hearings into allegations of fraud in the recent U.S. presidential election .
Ohio Congressman Jim Jordan , a member of the Committee on the Judiciary , and Kentucky ’ s James Comer , a member of the Committee on Oversight and Reform , addressed a letter to Democrat Jerrold L. Nadler , Chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary , and Democrat Carolyn B. Maloney , Chairwoman of the Committee on Oversight and Reform .
“ We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ examine the integrity of the 2020 election amid troubling reports of irregularities and improprieties , ” Jordan and Comer wrote yesterday .
The Republicans took an aggressive tone toward the Democrat committee chairs , telling them that their party “ spent four years baselessly calling into question the legitimacy of the 2016 election with debunked allegations of Russian collusion.
” Given their roles as leaders in that party , Nadler and Maloney “ owe all it to all Americans to fully examine allegations of actual election errors and misconduct , ” Jordan and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ element of “ we told you so ” in the letter .
Jordan and Comer reminded committee chiefs of a report they had made in September “ detailing how Democrats across the country were pushing last-minute changes to state election laws and procedures.
” “ We warned that these dangerous initiatives would increase the risk of election-related crimes and errors , undermine the integrity of the electoral process , and cause lingering uncertainty about the results of the election for several days or weeks after Election Day , ” they wrote .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of our predictions have unfortunately become true.
” The two men had been critical when , in Pennsylvania , the Democrat majority on the state ’ s supreme court passed a measure allowing mail-in ballots to arrive three days after the Election was over .
In addition , ballots received without a postmark would be judged to have arrived in time .
Jordan and Comer had warned that “ uncertainly and litigation ” could result from this decision , and yesterday declared that they had .
“ Litigation about this last-minute change is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , and Pennsylvania is still counting mail-in and absentee ballots , ” the congressmen stated .
Meanwhile , there are accusations that election fraud was being perpetrated weeks after the election .
Comer and Jordan noted that there are also allegations that “ local officials in some Pennsylvania counties ” are not allowing scrutineers to watch the ballots being tallied .
Their letter also touched on the multiple ballots that had been sent to individual voters , particularly in California , where Gov .
Gavin Newsom signed a law to make the election @ @ @ @ @ @ @ more than 2,000 faulty ballots , with no space in which to vote for the office of President , were sent out .
Jordan and Comer also noted that thousands of uncounted ballots were discovered in Georgia .
“ These serious concerns give rise to the urgent need for congressional oversight of the integrity of the 2020 election , ” the congressmen wrote .
“ Our committees must conduct oversight hearings to ensure that Americans have faith in the integrity of our election .
We ask that you work with us to schedule @ @ @ @ @ @ @ possible.
” The letter was released to the public through the Twitter account of the Republican section of the House Committee on the Judiciary .
It follows more than two weeks of allegations by Republicans of massive electoral fraud during the recent U.S. presidential election .

PETITION UPDATE (1/15/2021) -
The events of the past month, and especially the past 10 days, have shaken the faith Americans have in their elected and appoint officials.
We continue to call for investigations to be made into allegations of election fraud. Texas is in the process of prosecuting one political operative for illegal ballot harvesting, and multiple state legislatures have called for investigations, too.
However, the judiciary has severely let down the American electorate.
As we have said all along, the integrity of the election is much bigger than President Trump. Election integrity is at the heart of republican democracy, and if we don't have it, we no longer have a functioning republic.
Therefore, we continue to seek the truth for the election outcome. Perhaps that will only be known in the future when state or federal commissions are established to investigate the instances of election fraud which were witnessed and sworn to, by thousands of Americans of all political persuasions.
In the meantime, you may still sign this petition. Thank you!
___________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/10/20) -
On Wednesday, President Trump tweeted: "We will be INTERVENING in the Texas (plus many other states) case. This is the big one. Our Country needs a victory!"
He is referring to the lawsuit which the state of Texas has filed against Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Georgia in the Supreme Court over changes those states made to their election rules, claiming they violated the U.S. Constitution in the process.
Here is the central part of the argument: if Texas were to allow possible voter fraud to go unchecked in Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Georgia, it would be akin to committing fraud upon the people of Texas, who cast their ballots within the framework of the law.
Indeed, this would apply equally to all citizens who voted within the framework of the law across the United States!
President Trump also tweeted that this case is, "very strong...ALL CRITERIA MET."
Please continue to SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition, now.
____________________________________________________________________
PETITION UPDATE (12/7/20) - Since this petition was launched, President Trump's legal team, as well as other concerned citizens, have discovered what appears to be irrefutable evidence of voter fraud in several of the key battleground states, and have initiated legal challenges in six states.
While the situation continues to evolve, this remains a hugely important petition which we encourage you to SIGN and SHARE.
Below, please WATCH and READ about the mounting evidence of voter fraud and how the mainstream media seem determined to ignore even the most egregious instances of vote tampering. Then, please SIGN and SHARE this petition.
'Trump: ‘Our election system is now under assault and siege’ and as president I must defend it'
'Tens of thousands 2020 election votes illegally scanned in Detroit, says Dominion IT contractor'
'Trump campaign files lawsuit demanding ‘a new statewide election for president’ in Georgia'
'Experts flag over 500k ballots in PA with new evidence of major 2020 election voter fraud'
''Smoking gun'? Pennsylvania vote fraud hearing gets gasps from audience'
'FBI and Justice Department have dragged their feet investigating 2020 vote fraud'
''CNN top brass in leaked tape: We won't give Trump 'too much of a platform on his not conceding'
'Twitter censored Trump 63 times over Thanksgiving holiday, Biden untouched'
LifeSite supports President Trump with this petition because we believe he is trying to defend the Constitution, ensuring that electoral fraud does not taint the result of the 2020 general election.
But, since starting this petition, we have launched a separate petition related to the disputed election outcome, calling on the Department of Justice to 'do their job' and engage in meaningful investigations of the mounting evidence of voter fraud.
We believe that conducting forensic audits of ballots and voting machines, as well as issuing subpoenas to collect more evidence, would be a good start.
Thankfully, some of the state started to demand investigations independent of federal agencies. But we still believe that the DoJ needs to use its enormous fact-finding resources to help resolve allegations of election fraud.
Thank you for continuing to SIGN and SHARE all our election-related petitions.
_____________________________________________________________________
Please SIGN and SHARE this urgent petition which calls on all Americans to Stand With President Trump as he uses every legitimate means to find out if voter fraud played any role in the election outcome.
Amid allegations of voter fraud, and at a time when the situation with COVID has been used by many of the states to facilitate the use of mail-in ballots on a massive scale, we need to be very careful in dismissing the possibility of voter fraud.
The fact is, the possibility of wide-spread fraud with mail-in ballots is significant.
But, this is not about Donald Trump or Joe Biden! This about whether or not the sanctity of the ballot box has been tampered with!
Please Stand With President Trump as he attempts to defend the integrity of this election, as well as well as the right to vote itself!
Indeed, this is so important, not so much because one election hangs in the balance, but because our democracy, itself, hangs in the balance.
Americans not only have a right to know, but should demand that every legitimate means be used to discover the truth about these elections!
Please SIGN this petition and Stand With President Trump to ensure that these elections were conducted freely and fairly!
While most all Americans believe in playing by the rules, we also know that some very devious, politically-motivated operatives have been trying to harm the Trump administration from before he even took the oath of office.
This fact should lead us to question how some allegations of voter fraud can be so easily dismissed by state election authorities.
We demand to know the truth, and, for the sake of our democracy, we demand that President Trump keep fighting to learn the truth.
Thank you for SIGNING and SHARING this petition today!
