Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, is aimed at preventing hate crimes but instead threatens the #Charter rights and civil liberties of all people in #Canada, including those communities that the government wishes to help protect.

This is super bad for US citizens, especially on the left of the spectrum. Gives this authoritarian administration potentially the power to surveil & go after US citizens on spurious "funding of FTO" grounds. This whole antifa boogeyman is being fully weaponized. So dangerous.
My NSPM-7 coverage has for weeks been met with smug assurances that there's no law for domestic terrorism. Well, the Trump admin just designated Antifa groups as Foreign Terror Orgs - for which there is a law:
