Canada could arrest people before crime committed

Legislation being proposed by the Canadian government is potentially ‘fascist’, psychologist and author Jordan Peterson is warning.

Writing in the UK’s Telegraph online, he declares: ‘New legislation proposed by the government mandates the generation of a soon-to-be giant bureaucracy to monitor and punish in an extra-judicial manner so-called “crimes of hate”, soon [to be] defined as any speech or act that the bureaucrats and corporations in charge of the definition themselves object to.

‘The same legislation now even defines what might be well regarded as pre-crime; if a court agent now judges that a Canadian citizen might perpetrate a so-called hate crime in the future, that person can be fitted with an electronic surveillance device, restricted in his or her ability to move or communicate, all to monitor their compliance with the dictates of the state,’ he says.
