Canada Is Learning to Censor Itself | Muzzled by a Feeling

Canada keeps being told that censorship laws will only be used against the worst people.

Only the hateful.

Only the dangerous.

Only the bad actors.

But history shows that powers created for one target rarely stay limited to that target.

“Muzzled by a Feeling” is a gritty Canadian protest song about the moment censorship becomes internal.

It is the moment you reread your sentence before posting it.

The moment you delete an opinion because the rules feel unclear.

The moment you decide silence is safer than disagreement.

No one has to arrest you if they can teach you to censor yourself.

This song is not an argument for hatred. It is an argument for the basic distinction between speech and violence.

A word is not a fist.

A post is not a loaded gun.

Offence is not the same thing as physical harm.

Disagreement is not a criminal act.

A free society must be able to survive uncomfortable opinions, harsh criticism and open debate.

Because the real danger begins when governments claim the power to decide which thoughts may be spoken, then ask citizens to trust that the line will never move.

It always moves.
