HASHTAGS: #canada #youtube #c11
A lot of Canadians have been asking me what they can do to help oppose this bill. I honestly think the best thing you can do is ask other Canadian RUclipsrs to speak out against Bill C-11. We need to make this bill more controversial, and I think the best way to do that is to make more Canadian RUclipsrs aware of it. No one, beyond special interests, supports this bill after hearing about it.
Here is Ian from Runkle of the Bailey talking about it too!: ruclips.net/video/KYyYEbIp5OA/видео.html
Why was there another bill c11 in 2012?
He is offering a very narrow voice as a Con
When is this vote? Like you showed Chris Bittle (my regions rep). Do you honestly think calling him up would be a good idea? I've talked to him and he's helped out my family before, and he seems like a reasonable person. Or do you think that's a bad idea?
When this was first brought up I thought that it was used to control fringe voices. I did not realize that it was simply protectionism. Don't they know that Hollywood films in Vancouver. Basically, a good chunk of hollywood movies and TV shows are Canadian culture. This whole protectionism may be a front for something nefarious. I find the whole protectionism argument pretty weak.
They invited ONE actual online content creator to this hearing? ONE person whose livelihood is actually going to be affected by this bill, along with 8 special interest reps? What a disgraceful look at how our governments work...
Agreed. There were so many actually relevant witnesses they could have called if their true intent of this bill was the public good.
Yeah that's what I found funny all except for one seem to only do TV or be a TV special interest only one was even a part internet special interest.
Not disgraceful - obvious. It's the government versus the people, not the government for the people. The government HATES us. We exist to be shunned by them. This is how our world works. And we need to fight back.
This is why I prefer america
Yes, but also Canada: "Justin Zoolandeau has really pretty hair and the cutest socks. UwU! "
I'm a left wing guy but I think stopping bill C-11 should be bipartisan and opposed by everyone
Agreed, nationalism is just stupid
I agree. This is bad regardless of political affiliation
Exactly what I was going to comment!
Yeah
Same.
Still can’t get over the fact JJ said “hello friends” in a governmental hearing 💀
I don't think he would say that now
@@thetimelapseguy8 I think he would just barely still say it now... and only because of his inherent 'friendly Canadian' passive buff.
Yeah, that cracked me up, too.
I honestly feel like it was the perfect introduction. I mean it sets the tone as he is addressing them as friends and as friends what he is about to say is beneficial to all of them. Also his tone throughout was perfect he wasn't demanding and stated plainly what the downsides of the bill would be. - Edited for clarity and spelling.
Golden 👌🏻
honestly it's horrifying how one-sided this "hearing" was
The economic rent seekers out in force.
Yeah. Like no one addressed the insane conspiracy theories and world alien government mind control at all. Like next they will ban tinfoil.
I gotta respect a guy who opposes a bill even though he freely admits, in a previous video, that he would actually benefit financially from it. That's principled
Respeccccccc
Your comment is literally me
My same thought! Like this bill would make him freaking rich with all his Canadian focused content.
This is what is called "Enlightened Self-Interest". Peter Gabriel had the same principled outlook when he opposed SOPA & PIPA here in the US when he would've benefited from it because of his principles of standing up for human rights.
Nah, theyd find a way to punish him for his critical videos of Canada.
Man, the bias of the Chair was honestly horrifying. As a Canadian, I'm honestly appalled by it.
As a Canadian you probably shouldn't be surprised by it.
If this is the first senate hearing under Trudeau you have watched, I HIGHLY recommend searching for and watching others. In particular I would urge you to watch the debate on bill C19 and the one with Tarek Fatah as he DESPERATELY TRIED to educate the senate on how radicalism has infected his Muslim community in Canada. A non Muslim - white Liberal senator actually had the nerve to call HIM, A MUSLIM, A RACIST for his lived experience/opinions!!
I think you will never have the same opinion of our gov if you spent even one day watching parliament and senate videos, EVERY CANADIAN SHOULD!!
@@LorettaLaz send link please. I would love to see that.
Yeah Hedy Fry has always been a total "see you en tea"
I propose a Canadian nonviolent dissolution of this government. I appealed to the GG for Elizabeth 2 to dissolve parliament because Justin clearly needs a new mandate to implement his new policies.
To date Elizabeth 2 has failed to do her duty. I suspect that she and the rest of her family are indoctrinated by the WEF agenda and support it. Prince Charles years ago in a magazine article published in Canada was asked to justify the presence of the royal family to the taxpayers. His reasoning was that the Queen or King in our system of government would prevent a Hitler from holding power.
It has just recently come to light that the legitimate heir to the British throne resides in Australia. Mike Hasting was presented with this information before he died. He was a well respected member of the local community and a blue collar worker. He refused to engage in pursuit of his lawful claim after being presented with evidence from a BBC producer for numerous reasons, he was not interested in the money associated with it and the lack of privacy that this position would bring. His descendants have similar feelings it would appear.
Simon Hastings now holds his father's title and is the legitimate King of Canada. I do believe that although money is not an incentive I believe that a sense of duty and responsibility could change his mind. We need him to dissolve this parliament desperately to prevent a new Hitler from seizing power in Canada. I do therefore believe that if sufficient people will rally to this cause, a true democratic ground swell such as the truckers inspired we can get rid of Justin. We would have as a result a populous King who is one of us and would enjoy enormous support.
Please let me know your thoughts as well as to confirm this message did get through.
The lack of honest coverage this bill has received is unbelievable. Our country is at a dangerous precipice with C11, and I can’t thank you enough for standing up for a free and open internet... All my best- keep it up my friend!✊🇨🇦🍁

Woo money 💰
this is first time i've seen this feature being used. i didn't even know this was a thing
The Bells and Rogers of the world have steadfastly refused to inovate, to compete, to accept change, but turn to legislation to keep their failing ventures afloat.
I spent 20 years co-producing TV shows with these narrow minded people.
Here is a major disconnect we are seeing.
The suits, both Govt and Industry, have never created any content in their lives, but they find their purpose in dictating to the creators (talent) where when and how we can deliver our content. It is how they serve their egos and bottom lines.
We have an industry who can not compete anymore, being threatened by small independent creators who they are losing their control over.
When there are only 24 hours in a day to schedule programming, the networks hold incredible power over creators, and content.
That is all gone and they are petrified, because they know they are circling the drain, becoming less relevant and being surpassed by those who they used to control.
So they cry "culture" and proudly hold up their C number and broadcast "culturally relevant" reality Shows.😬
If they were truly concerned about Candian stories, Canadian culture they would not have neutered their local news departments, their local programming in favour of cheaper wheel feeds.
Great Job J.J., keep up the fight!
Remember kids, our ISPs aren’t a monopoly, it’s just two companies that own the entire market and work very closely together
The legend speaks! I grew up watching your shows!
hello dottotech. I am a fan and subscriber to your channel. Truly happy to have grown with your help. I am an oldtimer & your content has made me the person people come to, to help them navigate through the web & other stuff. I am so outraged about this government & what they are trying to do here with this bill. I most certainly will be reaching out to my representatve to voice my view. Sign petitions. Let the governing bodies know that they must progress & not be dictating what content we Canadians must consume. I'm done with tv programming long ago. How can they think they know whats best for me? I wish to consume whatever I chose which align with my intrerests. RUclips being one of the platforms I find all sorts of creative & fascinating content (ranging from knitting pattern designers & creators doing buisness, to biology, to local individuals that grew their buiseness making hand dyied yarns from people raising alpcha that furnish the wool, to local yarn stores that sell these products to consumers like myself, where these yarn consumers meet yearly in automn at country apple orchards & jewellery makers too. Bringing people to discover other buisness people that generate & help grow small economies locally & spread out throughout the land. Most of which have had this success thanks to this social yt platform...these are all win-win for culture & getting to sell or buy pruducts from creators that may also be of different parts of this globe. Hurray! Happy people doing buisness on small scale yet making a descent living while sharing knowledge! So, thrilling & I can go on & on...) Now, I am very upset that these small communities are threatened by these established big guys bullying these mostly self made creators. Not with government subsidies etc... This little lady is quite upset & very disturbded by what is transpiring under this current gouvernment! They will get a piece of my mind & I will be sharing this info with these communities at our meet-ups. grrrr...sorry for the rant! ;) Good day to you sir. Let's knock out this bill.
expertly stated.
You've omitted only one important detail that I would have included....and i think i have a pretty good idea why that may be. in either case its immaterial.
your point that stands above the rest and is true universally:
"if they were truly concerned about.. insert latest thing to care about, then why...?"
recognizing the hypocrisy and the irrationality of the elite is the key to understanding the false paradigm they've created.
it's no wonder to me that i have been called every name in the book EXCEPT 'hypocrite'
that's the one thing i never hear.
and it's not because they recognize i am not.
i think its because many of them don't even know what the word means or they simply don't care that they are
I'm so happy to hear so many people talk about wanting canada to remain free. I hope to see more petitions in the future and maybe some peaceful protests.
1 executive from Bell wasn't enough, they really needed to hear the same thing from 2 to fully understand how best to cripple their competition.
This is hell and we're living in it
I’m not a crop to be harvested I just like all forms of content
Wait, I didn't expect to see you here! Two of my favourite RUclipsrs are somehow here :0
Edit: Also, yikes, hopefully this new legislation won't affect both of yall's video-making process...
@@boxhunter9742 I don't like all forms of content. I like the options and I like making the decision regarding what I watch and what gets promoted to myself. When I feel that external promotion, it just reminds me that I'm being tracked, traced, and databased, and that I need to be cleaner with my footprints.
Wow, my two favourite Canadian youtubers in the same area. I really do hope Bill C-11 is struck down, best of luck to you guys.
Great quote at 23:44, " *What consumers want to consume, is what they should be free to consume* ". Even if Bill C-11 passes, there's no guarantee that the "Canadian Content" is going to take off. If the content isn't good, no one's gonna watch it 🤷
It's not about quality, it's about control.
That's the whole point. Most "Canadian content" is crap and people won't watch it unless forced to.
There's also a pretty obvious corollary to that. Imagine you're a Canadian RUclipsr, and this bill just passed yesterday. You now have two different audiences to worry about:
1. Your Canadian viewers.
2. Your non-Canadian viewers.
You could make official, government-approved CanCon, which means you'll be more visible to audience (1), but possibly less interesting to both audiences. You could do nothing, and continue to make the videos you want to make. Or you could write off audience (1) completely and stop making content that is recognizably Canadian at all, because audience (1) probably isn't going to see it anyway. Of those three possible paths forward, I submit that average Candian RUclipsr is probably not going to choose the first one, while some of them might end up choosing the third one, and so the overall amount of Canada-related (not necessarily CanCon) content on RUclips will actually decrease.
(Disclaimer: I work for Google, which owns RUclips; I don't work on RUclips itself and all opinions are my own.)
JJ is already successful and wants to close the door behind him and his pals. He is afraid of getting knocked off by a new generation of content creators.
That's the striking money making quote right there, lol.
Lol the Quebec MP. "We need to protect French-Canadian culture" followed up by "This bill does not protect culture" lmao
Should have brought up XQC and tell them that he protects French Canadian culture in that sense LOL
Yeah, the only way those nazis know how to pRoTecT cUltUre is to prevent Muslim women and Sikh/Jewish men from receiving public services and being employed in the public sector. This bill would never be enough for them.
"The bill does not limit your speech." Meanwhile, it supposedly limits what people can see online.
I had to mute it while he was talking, it was too cringy and I'm from Québec
My favorite was "This bill doesn't look like something from China because China is bad and Canada is good"
Thank you! I will be doing my part soon
represent!
Ayyye let's gooo
Ayo, it's the phone guy!
Helloooo
Love your videos
I find it ironic that a RUclipsr who's taught me more about Canadian culture has to argue against overreach from Ottawa intending to promote Canadian culture. This is pure paternalistic meddling. As an American, I subscribe to many Canadian RUclipsrs. Not because they are Canadian, but because I enjoy their content. Bill C-11 has nothing, and will do nothing to affect that.
In the 1970's the Canadian government in their zeal to promote official bilingualism brought the French network to Western Canada. A lot of men would stay up late to watch the French network. It was not because they wanted to learn French or had an altruistic desire to reach out to French Canadians. It was because the French network would show movies from France that had naked women in it. I was told that there was this movie called The Birth of A Nation that no network in North America would show because it was the most racist movie ever made. It was a movie that glorified white supremacy and glorified the Klu Klux Klan. The French network showed it twice. I would watch Donahue and see Americans that were upset by TV shows like Three`s Company or Charlie`s Angels. I thought if those Yanks could see what is shown on Canadian TV they would be appalled.
@@roberteaston6413 oh sick does that mean we get to see naked women on youtube? pass c-11! /s
As a liberal I actually agree with JJ here. RUclips isn’t something for national governments to control. It’s an international platform, one country impositions on its creators will only hurt those creators in international competition economically. This is totally to hurt the content creators in favor of cable providers/broadcasters.
Only dictatorships try to control media and the internet, this way.
I disagree, the internet must be controlled by the government to stop traitors from being indoctrinated into false ideas.
I don’t mean to sound authoritarian with this but where are the political scientists and political advisors to educate this man, before he goes on to marginalize all sources of information as being totally false?
Until our nation has leaders with integrity who will stand up for truth and not try to politicize a crisis, these types of things will continue. It is unfortunate, but with a choice this big on the horizon, it seems the people of Canada are becoming more and more Americanised.
The Canadian liberal party is in no way liberal, they are clearly seeking to control a narrative on the ideas they espouse. This is bill isn't attempted to be passed in a vacuum, this is a political decision, and they want to be able to say what is Canadian, and what a Canadian should believe.
@@uploade1019 If by *Americanized* you mean more demanding for their rights & freedoms, then perhaps this "Americanization" is the best thing to ever happen in Canada... which has been a nation of government-controlled serfs throughout its' entire history.
Rights which can be revoked (like those of the Charter) are no rights at all. They are merely government-granted temporary PRIVILEGES, revocable at any point by any government du jour. In contrast, the USA is the only country in the World where citizens have actual inalienable RIGHTS.
One other thing to consider is that Canada punches above its weight class on RUclips. We have way more big RUclipsrs than we should based on population. This isn’t about supporting Canadian RUclipsrs, this is about supporting and protecting legacy media and other special interests.
Yes, the fact that every other person on that panel represents a group that benefits from hindering new, and especially small-broadcast, media is very telling.
This whole debate just reminds me of the taxi medallion and uber. Propping up and protecting an old system that doesn't make sense in a modern society because people who are part of the old system had spent so much money on these medallions and they've suddenly lost all of their value overnight.
@@mrichardsonmobile Yes. Logically they should be advocating for deregulation to make their own lives easier and loose the shackles that make them less competitive. Sadly most of the times the established industry got used to the red tape, they have become comfortable in a system that binds their own hands behind their back, but at least makes it really hard for any new competitors to enter the market. Then when something new comes in they become outraged that someone else can compete with them without having to make the same sacrifices they had to endure.
Well put. How can the government possibly do a better job of promoting Canadian culture and RUclipsrs than the RUclipsrs have by themselves?
Like, I subbed to your channel because I liked your interior design content, and along the way the Canadian culture came out organically, and I ended up learning a few things about Canada and some of the unique stuff about being Canadian, through the lens of interior design content that was relevant to my interests. How can the Canadian government promote Canadian culture better than that?
Also hi Nick!
Historically, Canada has punched above it's weight class in terms of entertainment in general.
But, when not offered opportunity, that talent moves south.
It's just a short drive for most...
Fact that I live in Canada and have just now heard about this bill from you is distressing to say the least, but now you better believe I’m letting as many Canadians as I can know about this. Thank you.
The Canadian mainstream media's silence on this issue (Bill C-11) was bought and paid for, by Turdeau, when he gave the legacy media 660 million dollars of hard-working Canadian's tax dollars.
VPN here we go!!!!
And some are only hearing about it now, from RUclips of all people (/companies).
Yeah. I got 111 vpns Trudeau may be hiding everywhere and I may have to fill out my daily syrup survey but I can still watch you cry. Love it.
J.J: makes good points
MP1: you hate the French language and bilingualism!
J.J: I don't see how that's relevant
MP2: yes it is relevant
J.J: people should not be forced to watch content they aren't interested in
MP1: I am a hero for letting you speak and this proves I am open minded. therefore this bill cannot possibly be compared to any form of censorship/propaganda pushing
J.J: this bill could act as a form of censorship that makes video platforms only push pro government content while burring anything else
MP1: use your eyes and read, I can read. can you?
J.J: wha-
MP2: let my buddy talk
MP1: Canada is great other counties are not
well done Canadian government you clearly have only the finest thinkers and debaters

We have that already though, it's called Fox News
This !! I wish he said this! Not about china.. but America.
@@kgeisler87 what are you talking about. This is talking about the content being specifically tailored to one country, and blocking foreign content which is what this bill is doing
You should see the those specific nationalist types in Quebec. They sure do love talking the "death of their culture". Where have I heard that before
I think because American culture is so ubiquitous and the US is the world hegemon in so many fields, from hard (military) and soft power (media, tech, internet, companies, tv, music, movies etc), people are so used to American content and culture worldwide and would feel the effects of if the US did something like this bill
Apparently, the "local crackpot" is the one who is the most qualified and well-versed on the implications of Bill C-11 to Canadian RUclipsrs.
The interweb reveals all.
Humility, the best quality ever.
Canada is a hellish cesspit. The prime example of what liberalism does to a nation and its people. You have a mad commie dictator, and you are utterly powerless to do anything about him.
Is it going to pass
@@lukethompson2714 Not if it gets public attention.
well spoken. The idea of big government coming into the RUclips space is awful.
As an immigrant, I've noticed that Western nations have a peculiar quirk: they exoticize and caricature other nations' policies where they perceive those policies to be in opposition to their ostensible values, but then if they ever need/want to adopt similar policies themselves, they will convince themselves that their policies are actually quite different by hiding the similarities beneath layers of minor distinctions in methodology
"We're not like China! We allow anyone to say whatever they like when making media content!" say the politicians who plan to implement legislation that is designed to keep anyone from accessing media content with speech that deviates from what they believe ought to be said in media
Exactly! Similar issues get far more criticized when they're outside of the West but when the problem rises up back home the conversation is a lot more subdued.
I wouldn't think that this is a uniquely western thing. seems like human nature to excuse a little villainy when it's being committed by one's own clan or one's own team
Something straight out of 1984, doublethink at it's finest
Yes exactly. I really liked J.J's comparison to Viktor Orban this C11 really sounds like something he would come up with.
Free to make the content, but not free to make a living off of it. What a moronic distinction, it's soft censorship, instead of hard censorship. Motive is irrelevent if the outcome is similar.
the intro to this video is making me want more JJ vlogs 👀
JJ’s vlog about his trip to New York City is legendary. I don’t want to spoil anything, but it takes a funny turn and I’d recommend it to anyone who likes JJ or his content
Loved the travel ones before COVID
I really loved his travel vlog where we went to Chile
Yes! We need many more Vlogs! Maybe visiting every capital city in Canada?
As a Canadian I am personally appalled by how the government thinks its allowed to control independent creators and am also disgusted by Anthony housefathers childish attitude Towards this subject, the government has been run by too many corrupt politician so the mere fact you where able to tell them off has put a smile on my face. So I thank you for going there to talk the truth.
Representative Housefather saying that in Canada you can, "say whatever you want on your youtube channel" in discussion and advocacy for a bill that threatens your ability to have such a message reach anyone is the exact sort of grim irony you might expect from such a bureaucratic regime.
"Say what you want but we can't guarantee anyone's actually gonna see it after C-11"
The bookstore analogy is pretty spot on. A writer can write the highest quality story, but because it doesn't meet a government criteria it can't be displayed on the shelves. If you have to ask for it to be brought out from the warehouse, it's not going to sell well. The writers craft and talent is not as important as hitting points on a checklist.
The bill threatens livelihoods. It's disgusting
Our current lib gov seems to love censorship and compelled speech. The anti-protest law they were tooling for ontario was orwelian in the extreme.
The conservatives bringing JJ on here was about the smartest move imaginable, this plays as such a good rallying cry against the liberals.
As a non-Canadian liberal, I support this conservative effort
Yeah, who would have guessed that the only party that brought up an actual relevant witness, were the conservatives
@@wamken619 It may be weird but at the moment, the Canadian Conservatives are a lot more liberal than most “right leaning” governmental parties throughout the world.

“In China, they can suffer terrible consequences for breaking the rules that protect culture” says the dude who is literally trying to introduce legal consequences for people breaking culture protection laws.
But that's not the actual quote that he said.
@@MikoWilson which IS in keeping with any old 'typical Kebeker, and this sad Kebekers attempt to confuse/distort. Pretty sad to see Canada losing grip due to a 'lost-in-translation' scenario....hilarious, actually.
Or the fact that Canada has literal laws on the books against “hate speech” which has become a very subjective term, which is in fact very similar to the way China runs their country.
"B-but.. but I'm trying to take away free speech for the good guys."
Authoritarianism is authoritarianism no matter which portions of society is puppeting it, minorites pushing authoritarianism is as villainous as when the majority does it. whoever is pushing it is too possessed by dogma to realize freedom of speech is everybody's right and any infringement on it reduces everyone's rights. It may seem like it benefits them today but a few years down the road they'll realize they have less rights that they voluntarily gave to tyrants then the persecution they so feared will be manifest.
This is not a uniquely modern situation. It has a unique veneer but there are no new arguments or ideas being presented. These arguments go back as far as at least the ancient Greeks. This authoritarianism wears the guise of progressivism while it is actually an ignorant regression similar to when religious fundamentalists push for censorship under their banner.
I blame the public schools. The general populace seems to be missing large chunks of what constitutes a basic well balanced education.
I've never been a conservative, I'm a long haired skateboarder who has been in a revolving door of punk and alt.rock bands since I was 14 years old. The only time I've ever voted was for Obama once. Now though I see none of me and my ilk represented on the liberal side. All I see are people intoxicated by a communal delusion underwritten by ugly crass ignorance and it profoundly disgusts me
@@JozefLucifugeKorzeniowski I’m with you man, I’m a biker in an mc, and a metal guitarist, I’ve been sitting on the fringe my whole life but I play right down the middle politically bc no one group ever has the answer solely, it’s always a collective that prospers. People get so caught up in being 100% right that they seem to forget that compromise is the foundation for success and it’s alarming how much politicians push this censorship agenda, and Canada is headin that pack on this one with their “hate speech” laws. It’s pretty sad when a member of their government is completely ignorant to this too
That minister was hilarious saying nothing prevents you from coming here, or posting online and expressing your opinion protected by the charter of rights... while defending a bill that would literally make it extremely hard and difficult to do so and possibly face consequences 😕. This is a bad path to be going down.
As an american who stands to lose nothing either way, i completely agree with you. This bill sounds like utter bs. Overreach of government power for sure.
Same here. I thought Canada was better than us but what the government is doing here is just crazy.
This definitely would not pass in the US, because of our strong definition of free speech I don’t see either major party supporting something like this.
But you do stand to lose something, if this law effects Canadian RUclipsrs, and you watch Canadian RUclipsrs then the videos you watch will be effected.
@@graycat7704 their political situation is bad
@@Michael-qi9tw well then again in the us we are the homeground of the "foreign tech giants"
What’s crazy to me is that not a single one of the other “witnesses” had the respect to show up
in person, when all of those groups 100% have offices in Ottawa and easily could have been there. Instead the one with the lowest budget who is based on the other side of the country is the only one who actually care enough to show up not on Zoom.
@Michael Gravells Hmm... Makes sense. I have noticed that the liberals tend to take extra steps while the conservatives take no steps at all (covid related).(Im on the side of caution since my mom is dating an immuniologist).
On its own, I would say allow them to Zoom in. Minimize travel expenses, work from home, etc. It does show more respect and willingness on JJs part to show up, particularly if the "witneses" do have branches in Ottawa or nearby.
@Michael Gravells Covid is still a thing in Canada?
Affordable Airplanes truly are a Marvel.
@@boomerix I mean, Covid is still a thing world wide. It's just awareness of it has lost traction since it's been happening for so long.
Still over a thousand deaths a day to that damn virus, and potential Long Covid brain damage to it but people kinda think it's gone now.
@@Adyen11234 I'm not talking about the virus, I'm talking about the general hysteria
Of course they couldn’t answer your question about the Chinese analogy…Canada/Canadians has/have a really disturbing pattern of saying “We’re not as bad as xyz country” like that means something good…
Thank you for your incredibly articulate and passionate testimony.
yeah that was shocking how the politician kept trying to deny that was what is happening. The politician tried so say those things aren't happening, but they are taking steps towards that...yes it isn't likely that one can be thrown in jail for their disobedience...right now, but they will be punished financially by being isolated from the public and prevented from getting funding. Doesn't that bring the same desired behavior?
I actually thought the legislator was making a good point, that freedom of speech was not at all being restricted. But then I recalled J.J.’s bookstore analogy. Freedom of speech doesn’t matter if access to said speech is restricted or suppressed.
This is thr current narrative of QAnon in the US.
If you need anymore proof of why they might be concerned about foreign interests buying Canadian airwaves via YT, you've summed that up perfectly.
“We’re not as bad as xyz country” is an interesting take on "whataboutism." (Of course there's a joke there about Canada naturally finding a passive-aggressive way to use whataboutism that also implies low expectations)
It also gives them reason to do it as well, following Canada in every way except... free speech? Hold on hold on hold on
We have more than just Canadians in our place, we advertise ourselves as people who are multi-cultured, we have more than just one language in our place, and we're now only going to promote one culture. Even when we advertise ourselves as diverse? Where's the logic in that? Yeah, come to our multicultural country, but, instead of being able to keep your culture if you want to go online, you have to use our culture instead, or else you won't be seen and you won't be cared for.
As a Canadian I hate Bell, but it is also the only provider of internet that has some semblance of consistency. Even if they are ridiculously overpriced, if I ever wanted to play an online video game or watch a movie I have no other option.
Also it is so annoying to hear all of those people practically beg for this bill to be passed. I get that it may be their only choice if they want to keep their jobs, but that is so brutally biased and does not speak for the common person at all.
Thank you JJ, coming from someone who wants to play a part in Canadian media as I find the way to place myself and my artistry in this country that I love, but am endlessly disappointed by.
I also hate Bell. For years they were the only internet company in out area, we were paying way too much and not even getting what we were paying for. A couple years ago a new company started up and hooked up fiber-optic network around town and we are paying way less and getting way more out of it. Bell realized they messed up taking advantage of their customers all those years and send people door-to-door begging people to come back.

hypocritical?
I am english and being in europe, french is just another language of similar value, historically it has been larger and it's got quite a strong hold in north and west africa. France, though we may joke it is horrid, is really very similar to England. I dont believe that if canada had been a french held colony, it would be important to preserve the "english minority" and force english upon the rest of this hypothetical country (in a francophone globe), so why should french be held as a minority language. In the lottery of imperial exploitation, the roots sunken by the English language have grown deep, and so have the French, but by trying to entrench in law either a bilingual requirement we are holding french as more important than languages of native minorities and minorities from other countries.

If JJ has taught me anything, it's that Canada does the opposite of what the United States does, if only because "we're not the US!". So if the US gov't actually has in its Constitution a promise to not interfere with the free speech of its citizens, then surely Canada must do the reverse!
This is like finding out that Australia doesn't even have a proper Bill of Rights.

It's because Canada wants to be able to brainwash people more easily. The gov hates people who disagrees with them calling us conspiracy theorist.

I think this was actually a brilliant move for the Canadian conservatives.
Select someone of the people to criticise, someone who will spread the results of the committee, someone who’s moderately conservative but also gay, someone directly affected, and someone who has dealt with politics a fair number of times before.
Very smart choice overall.
Indeed, it’s how they flip semi-close Toronto ridings, which is how they win a majority next election. They have to show that they are not an o toole or a Bernier, not too centrist or too far right instead a populist type that can appeal to the voters that are needed.

Thank you for this. I had no idea. I have written my MP.
Thanks for speaking up for us. That definitely looked like everyone versus you though. I'm not sure if you brought this up, but as a Canadian RUclipsr, 50% of my audience is actually from the States. It's the world looking in on us. So having an open location system is hugely beneficial to Canada. So to think we should focusing on watching Canadian content alone is incredibly selfish.
it's 10% Canadian content and it will only affect those located in Canada. If you are a content creator, you get a fast lane if you decide to get your work certified... that is it. The entire rest of the bill is basically a data rights and enforcement bill. Being notified of data collection, asking for your permission to collect your data, giving you the right to have your data deleted ect...

@@adam346 What does "decide to get your work certified" entail? Why should there be an arbitrary fast lane mechanism that rewards people for self-moderating (really censoring and policing) their own content to make a living? Why even mess up the playing field?
No one is against the data rights and enforcement aspects of the bill. Had that been separate it would likely pass with no problem. The problem is C-11 is selling a 2 for 1 package with the other item trying to fly under people's noses through old media funding and interests.
@@enduser8410 its not even in its second reading... it can have many alterations but people are spouting endless hatred about it w/o recognizing there is only ONE actual aspect that even vaguely (not definitely will affect) them. RUclips themselves put out a video about it and their most scathing rebuke of it is the fact that people may be less interested in their front pages because it contains more Canadian content.
@@adam346 I doubt said alterations will compromise much on the desired precedent already imposed on TV.
What even is Canadian content? Not even Turning Red met the requirements. Canada punches above its weight in RUclips representation, and the criteria will hurt visibility of Canadian RUclipsrs internationally if vetted, sanitized content is put in place of people who otherwise would be internationally successful and competitive in a level playing field. Home country success often leads to further international success. Domestic audiences may have to see it but international audiences will probably look elsewhere.
Just imagine for instance if a Canadian RUclipsr like JJ or Mudahar back when they were first gaining traction were cut back and a Quebec RUclipsr hit the algorithm instead because "egalisation". That French-speaking RUclipsr is not only speaking to a much smaller language market but so much more viewership for Canadian personalities and the country would be lost. Or even worse people like JJ being shadowbanned as such vague regulations could in-effect extend over having opinions against the liberal and Quebec govts.
As a French Canadian, who for the most part is liberal, I am truly embarrassed that these MPs just use these "tactics" to discredit you. What they even quoted about you is right and it's due to bills like this that forces French on us and takes the choice out of our lives. Well done for standing up to bill and for all Canadians and going against the corporations that that clearly make these decisions. Just an utter embarrassment to our government and our system.
@oh I'm from Montreal as well and I love this country. However our government continues to shoot its citizens in the foot continuously. And in Quebec its even worse. Any political party that gets voted in I disagree with most of them because they all have skewed views and abuse the process.
Very showing when the only person who opposes it actually travels in person for it while the rest of the witnesses sit on screens idling away.
my thoughts exactly
My same feelings as a teacher teaching in person for two years while I never saw a single decision maker from our school board show up in person all this time. making decisions from their ivory tower.
Im a Canadian and everything you said I relate to. Thank you for representing us Canadians!
The conclusion of your testimony really says it. Canada is not particularly successful in so many cultural realms given the wealth and education levels of the country, people traditionally go to the US to become "famous" and make cultural products. Industry changing giants like James Cameron and Lorne Michaels easily blend into America and contribute to another countries cultural output. But on RUclips, something naturally successful is actually happening. We've become big exporters finally! Yet the government isn't asking the real question all this should raise "Has CanCon actually been bad for our cultural output? Has it been training generations of Canadian artists to make inwards facing mediocre cultural productions to please bureaucrats? Should we just support our creative class, not dictate and meddle in what they make and who can see their work?"
this. there is a reason why every successful canadian moves to america for more opportunity and freedom for creativity etc.
that should tell you something is wrong
Canada is a democracy, there is an elected Government and parliament to decide what's best for the whole country (you might call them bureaucrats if you want). I still prefer good bureaucrats (supposedly here to be mediocre) to remote "invisible" tech giants whose long term strategy and interests are obscure.
Is exporting all that matters ? Germans are exporting tons of cars (is that all that matters to all Germans ?).
I thought a Quebecer would have some interesting thoughts on the video's animated debate section on bilingualism. Maybe bill 96 will add some clarity on this issue.
I mean, on the bright side, Cancon gave the world Bob & Doug MacKenzie. (As a deliberate middle-finger to the entire concept of Cancon). On the down side, it's been 45-ish years since then and The Tragically Hip didn't have the long-term cultural impact HM's Govt. probably would have preferred :)
@@pawsindmeinlieblingsfach3518 Eh bien malheureusement si tu veux avoir accès à du contenu francophone il vaut mieux que tu t'en tiennes à de médias Québécois car les médias de France (y compris publics) sont de façon générale beaucoup trop "américanisés" à mon goût.
Moi je trouve ça bien qu'il y ait une communauté culturelle dans chaque pays, certes ça enlève un peu de liberté mais ça me semble le bon sens de promouvoir des acteurs locaux/nationaux afin de ne pas se diviser et se disperser en une myriade de communautés qui ne font plus vraiment le lien entre les gens.
Par exemple le site YT de l'INA présente des reportages de l'époque 70-80 du temps de l'ORTF ou les programmes de télé français étaient très étatiques mais pour beaucoup de très bonne qualités et fédéraient la population française. Si la loi C-11 peut par exemple mettre en avant l'équivalent Canadien de ce type de vidéos alors je suis tout pour.
A noter que je ne sais pas si les programmes YT de l'INA sont accessible depuis le Canada…
Mon problème à moi c'est que je passe trop de temps sur Internet et RUclips ;-))
And it's worth noting that Canadians have succeeded in America in part because we don't have laws like these. Would James Cameron, Lorne Michaels, or Denis Villeneuve be as successful as they are if the American government had laws pressuring American media companies to hire Americans?
And what if there were laws against outsourcing work to Canada? What would that do to the Canadian media industry?
They talk about online media companies living rent free when American artists could make the same complaints about Canadian artists taking their work. Instead American artists have always had to compete on a global scale and it has driven us to produce art that has global reach.
History has shown that Canadian artists can compete on a global scale if given a chance, as you pointed out the list of Canadians who have succeeded in globalized Hollywood is long and illustrious. I wish the government could trust their artists and trust their average citizens to make their own choices rather than trying to create a "kiddy pool" for Canadian arts.
Damn they got mad that you weren’t “answering the question” and then when you ask him a question he just avoids it. This was so frustrating to watch.
While I agree with you that that's stupid I still have some respect for parliamentary proceedings I suppose.
And to be perfectly honest with you, a hearing like that isn't necessarily for someone in J.J.'s seat to ask questions, it's to answer them. So I suppose technically he shouldn't be allowed to ask that question in the first place? JJ's there to answer THEIR questions and and not to make new ones, that's why the chair doesn't care.

@@NLvideomaster fair point, but if the chair wasn't a partisan hack, she should have understood an attack on JJ's stance on bilingualism was inappropriate and irrelevant.
Everyone should pay attention to this video. It's brilliant and well presented. And J.J McCullough gives a brilliant presentation on the unfair representation in committees to the people actually affected by bills as they are routed through parliament. The witnesses are overwhelmingly from special intrest groups and not individuals actually affected by the bills as they are passed through our government infrastructure.
J.J. thanks and keep up the amazing work.
Live in Ottawa, I have never been so proud of you man!, Thank you for speaking!
Hey, JJ, long time viewer, first time commenter. I'm American, but to me, this really demonstrated how the typical citizen and politicians (especially on a national level) don't live in the same reality. I think that's equally true in both of our countries. It was a crying shame that you were the only representative of private creators invited. I don't see why this should even be a partisan issue. If I like it, I watch it. If I don't, I don't want it forced on me. I've told RUclips not to recommend quite a few channels to me because I have no interest in their content. It seems to me that a bill like C-11 will only make people have to do more of that.
On another topic, I found it hilarious how defensive Anthony Housefeather and Hedy Fry seemed. It was almost like they were afraid for people to hear what you had to say.

I think I can speak for many subscribers by saying J.J. has made a lot of people become intrested in the culture and history of Canada. So even though his testimony was ineffective due to special interest, J.J. has been extremely effective on here by creating such high quality, informative, entertaining and insightful content. A year ago I didn't really think to much about Canada, now here I am watching Canada Man do a deep analysis of an obscure Canadian Political Tribes meme for 40 minutes off of a piece of paper.

That QC MP was a bully. He knew you weren't in the boys club and could hit you with that question and face no repercussions. A question like that asked in a courtroom would immediately get struck down and the lawyer asking it would be reprimanded for attempting to bias the jury. Shameful display; I hope this video gets the attention of the public to show how ridiculous their representatives are.
Yep, poisoning the well.
Yes. I only wish JJ would have pivoted his answer to talk about how this bill could hurt francophone creators by having their content pushed to a disinterested audience. Eg. a Quebec makeup youtuber wouldn't benefit from their video being recommended to either anglophone Canadians or Quebecers who don't care about makeup. Their click-through rate and average watch time would decrease. Whereas now they can do well within their niche with an international audience w/o having to worry about that.
@@gabriellegeorge2648 I think JJ held his own alright, though.
@@IronCurtaiNYC I think he did, too. But a more pragmatic answer might have given Housefather less opportunity for ad hominems and grandstanding. That being said, I don't know if I would have thought to answer that question that way if I was put on the spot.
Do these people seriously go home every night and watch Heritage Minutes? Have they not considered that the lack of success of Canadian content in traditional media IS BECAUSE of the regulatory nature of our systems. If these same restrictions have failed us to this point, how could they possibly think more restrictions is the answer.
Unfortunately due to the Cultural dominance of America it is hard to drive content that caters to nationalities other than American because in America it will always make more money. One observation I have living in the UK is that investment is far more effective than direct regulation. Investment in the BBC and the existence of Channel 4 as an investment vehicle focusing on developing younger talent has ensured that UK media is in a decent situation. I don't know the situation in Canada but that has worked here.
canada use to have a 💩 ton of good content when it was a free for all. the cartoons, comedy was so strange that’s where the “canadians are weired” came from. but also was known to make some of the best comedians. all who left canada and went toamerica

The U.S. has its fair share of problems, but I know for a fact that a bill like this would never have a shot of passing here, and for that I am grateful.
Well most of these protectionists laws are a direct response to the behemoth that is the American media, so it wouldn't rally make sense for America to pass a bill to protect its culture from itself. :D
Don't be so sure, my friend. It can certainly happen.
No amendment is absolute....
Until Brandon pulls yet another executive order to ban free speech online... and goes on a candle-lit podium to say something along the lines of : "It's to protect kids and indigenous minorities from the online Climate Crisis deniers. C'mon man, it's an existential threat!"
If such a bill were passed in the us, the courts would strike it down before the ink is dry.
Great argument given - well done
Anthony Housefather sounded like he was about to cry. In simple terms though, as a proud Canadian I feel that Bill C-11 would be a terrible Travesty to our lives.
He was so triggered lol
He really was a triggered sod. Listening to him made me so irritated tbh.
Anthony Housefather more like Anthony Housefarter
26:18 the Anthony Housefart moment
Anthony ArseFeather you mean - what a woosie he was ...
Never commented on a JJ video before, always been a silent watcher, but this video is really eyeopening. Legislation like this just shows you the inferiority complex that this country feels compared to other countries (i.e., USA). This is why I think we can see top talent from Canada move to other countries where they experience free markets.
imagine LTT moving to america because of these laws affecting their channel's performance

Mr. McCullough Goes To Ottawa has a nice ring to it. Who's the modern Frank Capra who can bring this epic saga to life?
The question is : Who should play J.J.? (Unless he wants to play himself)
Leonardo DiCaprio as JJ and Samuel L Jackson as Trudeau. Quentin Tarantino rumored to direct.

Sad...this policy will act as a means to silence any Canadian creator who doesn't tow the government line.
As an US RUclips consumer, I’ve learned a great deal about Canada and Canadians from Canadian RUclipsrs and feel they represent their country well. I’ve seen FAR less Canadian content produced by the establishment media over-represented in this committee. In fact many of them moved to the US after “making it” and I don’t think anyone has to wonder why. Seems like a system that only creates second-class mediocrity and only benefits special interests.
I’m Canadian and I’m watching more Canadian RUclipsrs than ever.
@@zjohnson8773 nope in spite of it.
@@zjohnson8773 It hasn’t even passed yet, so in now way would it be thanks to the bill…
As a content creator who is really just starting out, I thank you J.J for standing up for all of us.
"Conservative fights so called "patriotic" bill"
In a lot of other countries, this statement would have sounded absurd. But it's Canada.
The past 2 years of Canada have honestly been , , , contradictory calm chaos; That's best phrasing I can think of.
Canadian Conservatives just want us to be Americans.
It's the other way in Canada's Southern neighbor
Is it absurd? It's in line with the usual conservative beliefs of less regulation, and letting the free market decide.
@@valeriemcdonald440 I think they mean the whole situation is absurd, I could be wrong though
Well put, JJ.
I'm terrified of this bill even in the states. What happens when other governments find out they can choose what is shown on the internet?
That would be insanely chaotic and would have more negatives than positives, like if you want to learn about another country but your country has had bad relationships with them who knows what content you would find. And in small doses they can put things that they want to people to know even if they were not mentally looking for it.
i don't think you'll need to worry unless your country is left leaning. im almost certain the only reason this bill was ever proposed was because the NDP made that deal with the liberals. it was bad news and things will probably get worse for canada from here
JJ that back and fourth you had with that buffoon at the end of the video was so bloody frustrating. BUT if your argument is so watertight your opposition has to belittle you personally, I think that’s a pretty good indicator of how well you did! You should be proud!
That guy came off like a toddler having a temper tantrum
"There's nothing in this bill that takes away your right to freedom of speech in this country."
Correct.
It just takes away your ability to be heard.
I find that declaration by that member offensive and abhorrent. The MP does not recognize that the second half of freedom of expression is the freedom to seek expression. It is most definately an infringement of s. 2(b) if the government shoves you in front of a brick wall in a soundproof room and says "you can express whatever you want to this brick wall". No recognition that suppressing the ability for others who want to to find your expression is in and of itself a violation of the freedom of expression. I'd even be fine if he argued it was a minimal and justified one, but not that he argued absolutely no impairment.
@@connorhorman Well said.
"No recognition that suppressing the ability for others who want to find your expression is in itself a violation of the freedom of expression."
Cheers!
It takes away your right to earn a living saying what you want.
@@connorhorman there is a difference between making a product and shipping it (youtube) and expressing your opinion in a public setting.
@@adam346 The issue isn't RUclips, though. It's the people using RUclips.
This bill is doing the opposite of protecting Canadian content. It’s reducing Canadian content to the stuff the government wants people to see.
Are they actually claiming that it helps Canadian content? No way
The problem that this issue with this Bill hasn’t been trending in Canada, I didn’t even know about this Bill until J.J. pointed it out. It goes to show how serious things like these get swept under the rug for many Canadians.
Just like in the US, sunlight is the best disinfectant.
It's not that they get swept under the rug. The hearings are open for public viewing. Canadians just don't pay attention to them. Plus we have a media that focuses more on USA issues than on what is happening at home.
@@WorldPeace21 to be fair, we got a lotta issues. But yeah, it’s crazy how much news outlets around the world choose to prioritize the US content that draws views and ad revenue, and has all but forgotten that they’re not American
And international too. I was shocked when I accidently found out that Canada has basically become a medieval country where beliefs are forced upon people and non believers are persecuted. This should have made international headlines and widely condemned, but nothing...www.bchrt.bc.ca/shareddocs/decisions/2021/sep/137_Nelson_v_Goodberry_Restaurant_Group_Ltd_dba_Buono_Osteria_and_others_2021_BCHRT_137.pdf?fbclid=IwAR0ujVSkidW0YV9wcgfoIPccNl66EAUoi2OH_krJiO_5dBrOWE5ComWuKUI
yeah, imagine what they will be able to do once the population is fully disarmed.
As a French-Canadian living in Quebec I never felt like you hated me by the lol. I love your channel and it helps me keep in touch with Canadian politics. Our media really like to focus their attention more on provincial politics so it's nice to get your take on what is going on in the other provinces.
Same here, I don't often agree with what he says on this channel, but it's always interesting to see another point of view. But this particular subject of C-11, I totally agree with him here. And the fact most media don't report much on it is a good example of how they might fear some reprisal from the CRTC. This Bill has to be contested by every side on the political spectrum, we cannot allow this to become law.
Also those Politician questionning you on the french thing is disgusting IMO and diversionnary bullshit that is besides the point. Like I said I don't always agree, but I certainly respect his right to having an opinion.
Thanks for taking action and doing something about C-11. We all need to follow your lead. Also, I love the story at the end of the video. Where you wonder who actually controls the government. That story is more depressing than Bill C-11.
Housefather sounded like he was on the verge of tears. Someone should've given him a hug
I wanted to watch this in it‘s entirety-and have been watching it on another channel-when I got the notification of your video. Looking forward to seeing this. I was getting annoyed with some of the others, especially MP Housefather and his irrelevant question. Thank you for testifying and posting this.
As an American even the concept of a bill like this makes me shudder with anger. A bill like this in the US would be considered a direct attack on our first amendment rights as it basically give the government right to choose what content is and isn't readily shown to the public.
The whole reason why the crtc was created in the first place was to stop our airwaves from the bombarent of American media that had massive amounts of funding behind it. They basically had the idea to just buy up our airwaves (radio and tv) and just pump Canada full of what had already been produced and created by Americans. Without the crtc Canada would have basically become another garbage dump for shitty American content, and that is the last thing I want for my country. While I don't agree with how c-11 is being carried out, I don't think that people should just accept that the best thing for countries to let information be passed around is by giant multi-national's algorithms.
it's cool, as a Canadian your countries callus disregard for human life makes me shudder. It's a good thing different countries can have different laws. You can be thankful that your media censorship isn't based on nationality of origin, and I can be thankful that dozens of children weren't shot where they hid last week, next week and every week.
@@Gigo1337 ya first amendments pretty neat the second not so much
The worst part is all the gun lobbyists and "gun rights" people commonly ignore the first half and context of that amendment i don't think it was even about ommon citizens it was about militias
A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
The cherry is We havnt even had state militias since 1908! It's ludircris!
This is very pog and I support you completely! Hope you and others can stop Bill C-11 from ever being passed!
nothing will ever go in our way. they are bought and paid for by lobbyist. there is nothing "pog" about this. we are getting cuck3d and thats a fact
As long as Trudeau succeeds in making Canadians fear each other his fas cism will win. He funds over 1500 news and media organizations. People need to speak up.
yay my comment got deleted! listen lobbyist money stole your vote. there is nothing "pog" about this, youre being robbed of rights. this video is pointless

You couldn’t have a real conversation with the French Canadian gentleman because he wasn’t willing to admit that any of your gripes were real. Amazing what you’re trying to do!
A radio station I listen to talked about working in Canadian radio. How they had to play terrible songs because of media regulations. They easily explained why it was terrible idea. Thanks JJ and Goodluck!
I'm shocked to see how nationalistic "liberal" Canadians are when that is so fundamentally against American liberalism. I am firmly left wing, but in Canada I expect I would be more of a centrist.
They are nationalistic when it comes to protecting their rent seeking interests, all of these politicians flabbergasted at Canadians watching American RUclips videos are fully supportive of the highest per capita immigration rates in the world. It's just false outrage masking their own benefit from the current system.
American liberalism does not belong in Canada.
We already see the negative results of American liberalism to the Americans right now
The current government is all about virtue signalling and spending money.
That's not just how Canada works for some reason the left are the nationalistic ones
Yeah, it's interesting how nationalists are left-wing in Canada while they're right-wing in the US.
I guess I can say "Not all heroes wear capes, some of them have messy hair."
His hair is not messy!!!
Dang! As a U.S. citizen, I do not want to see this bill pass. Everyone should have the right to see and watch what they want. If this bill passes as it is written, then Canadian RUclipsrs and those who wanted or hoped to make a living doing RUclips will mostly be over. (Unless you can quote "be Canadian enough") If this bill passes, it will also make U.S. based RUclipsrs have a much bigger competitive advantage over Canadian RUclipsrs who may make similar types of content within the algorithms that will ultimately be employed. This will defiantly harm creators in Canada.
I love that you, in introducing yourself as American, began with “dang”

@@waycoolscootaloo The Canadian Government would just require RUclips doesn't allow the VPN trick not to work. What would work better is virtual Machines hosted outside of Canada to upload videos to RUclips.
