length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>China&#8217;s 1.4 billion citizens live inside the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Firewall">Great Firewall</a>, a censorship system so intense that typing certain banned phrases can make your browser just stop loading. Foreign news, major websites, and political history are all filtered, blocked, or wiped in real time, while the CCP blasts people with nonstop state propaganda from the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Publicity_Department_of_the_Chinese_Communist_Party">Publicity Department of the Chinese Communist Party</a>. It&#8217;s hard to imagine a more suffocating information system in the modern world.</p><p>Canada must be completely different, right? Incorrect. The Laurentian Elites at the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) think they&#8217;re smarter than everyone else, and can tell us what books we should, and should not, read. It&#8217;s called <a href="https://www.cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/publications/dm-md/d9/d9-1-15-eng.html">Memorandum D9-1-15</a>, I call it Memorandum Stupid.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.vdare.ca/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading Virginia's Substack!

No, in fact, they are government bureaucrats, sitting in offices in places like Ottawa, watching Liberal CBC propaganda all day, thinking they are better than us muggles.</p><p>&#8220;Hate propaganda&#8221; in Canada basically means: &#8216;Anything a good globalist Liberal doesn&#8217;t like.&#8217; And &#8220;obscenity&#8221; means, well, who knows what the CBSA thinks obscenity means honestly&#8230; Did you know a bunch of French porn books written in France are labelled as &#8220;obscenity&#8221; by the CBSA? No wonder men outside of Quebec aren&#8217;t getting better at the French language. Why are we blocking France&#8217;s books? Ridiculous.</p><p>Half the time, the CBSA doesn&#8217;t even bother to fully review the books they&#8217;re intercepting. Instead of formally seizing anything or making an actual classification under the Criminal Code, they just quietly send the package back to the sender and pretend it never existed. And here&#8217;s the trick: because they <em>didn&#8217;t</em> seize it, you get no notice, no explanation, and absolutely no way to appeal. Unless you already understand the CBSA&#8217;s internal loopholes, you&#8217;ll just assume the package got lost in the mail. So you re-buy the book, you try again, and you hope that this time the CBSA Gods will benevolently permit you to read whatever harmless &#8220;forbidden&#8221; material they decided to disappear the first time around.</p><p>This was the case in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Little_Sisters_Book_and_Art_Emporium_v_Canada">Little Sisters Book and Art Emporium v. Canada</a> Supreme Court case, where a Vancouver bookstore&#8217;s shipments were blocked at the border, essentially at random, causing endless problems for the small business. Now it doesn&#8217;t matter what you think of the LGBT issue. The government is not in charge of our opinions or beliefs, and shouldn&#8217;t be trying to control what information we receive.</p><p>Canada also has one of the biggest state-funded news media organizations of any Western country, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). We spend $1.4 billion on this network every year, or ~0.3% of the Government of Canada&#8217;s federal revenue. This is about what Brits fork over for the BBC, a network the White House now describes as &#8216;<a href="https://www.theguardian.com/media/2025/nov/08/bbc-100-fake-news-says-donald-trumps-press-secretary">100% fake news</a>.&#8217; Think of all the good things you could do with $1.4 billion dollars, now realize all that money is wasted on Liberal CBC bureaucrats.</p><p>The CBC is a Liberal propaganda machine that blasts Canadian citizens with immigration sob stories every single day of the week, regardless of:</p><ul><li><p>How many &#8220;asylum&#8221; seekers are homeless.</p></li><li><p>How high rent prices are due to immigration (it&#8217;s called Supply and Demand).</p></li><li><p>Why youth unemployment is hitting decade-level highs, which magically has nothing to do with the historic high levels of temporary immigration if you believe CBC.</p></li></ul><p>These things don&#8217;t affect the Liberal bureaucrat in their gated communities. Besides, it might challenge their underlying worldviews and opinions, and their Liberal minds cannot handle that. For CBC, immigration is the solution to every problem. For CBC, third-world immigration is an objective good. More third-world immigration is always better, and Canadians just need to stop being so racist. &#8216;Diversity is our strength&#8217;, as big brother constantly reminds us.</p><p>CBC is a pseudo-government organization that receives no external feedback on its reporting, because the Government of Canada&#8217;s taxpayers always foot the bill. Regardless of the quality of the drivel they manage to push out.</p><p>We do not need a government funding Liberal propaganda like the CBC. Additionally, our government shouldn&#8217;t be trying to block books with ideas they simply don&#8217;t like. Memorandum D9-1-15 is a weird last-century information censorship mechanism, that needs to go the way of the dodo bird.</p><p>Even if you think Memorandum D9-1-15 is a good idea, it doesn&#8217;t actually accomplish anything. Books that are genuinely awful, full of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_propaganda">black-propaganda</a> garbage, are still freely available online and always will be. Why? Because the United States has real free-speech protections, which means even the worst material is legally accessible for historical and archival purposes. So while the CBSA was patting itself on the back for blocking <em>Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion</em> from October to December 2024, the exact same text was (and still is) sitting openly on a U.S. government archive. You can literally Google it. Brilliant work, CBSA.</p><p>Books that are blocked by the CBSA can simply be bought legally as e-books on Amazon&#8217;s Kindle, found on Google as PDFs, or viewed on American online archives. Meaning the CBSA&#8217;s Memorandum D9-1-15 is completely pointless in practice. It amounts to vague and pointless information censorship from a different century, something citizens of a free country shouldn&#8217;t stand for.</p><p>Liberals, who always believe in ever-increasing Big Government Socialism &amp; Control, will of course say: &#8216;Oh, in that case, we need pervasive internet censorship and monitoring!&#8217; Congrats, you&#8217;ve just reinvented the Chinese Communist Party&#8217;s Great Firewall. Similar to what Europe has done with EU&#8217;s Digital Services Act (DSA):</p><blockquote><p>In Europe, thousands are being convicted for the crime of criticizing their own governments. This Orwellian message won&#8217;t fool the United States. Censorship is not freedom.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ac5z!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe1d665b9-8e18-49c6-86fd-ce3333fcfc83_622x619.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ac5z!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe1d665b9-8e18-49c6-86fd-ce3333fcfc83_622x619.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ac5z!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe1d665b9-8e18-49c6-86fd-ce3333fcfc83_622x619.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ac5z!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe1d665b9-8e18-49c6-86fd-ce3333fcfc83_622x619.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ac5z!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe1d665b9-8e18-49c6-86fd-ce3333fcfc83_622x619.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ac5z!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe1d665b9-8e18-49c6-86fd-ce3333fcfc83_622x619.jpeg" width="434" height="431.90675241157555" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/e1d665b9-8e18-49c6-86fd-ce3333fcfc83_622x619.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:619,&quot;width&quot;:622,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:434,&quot;bytes&quot;:30454,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://vdare.substack.com/i/179683580?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe1d665b9-8e18-49c6-86fd-ce3333fcfc83_622x619.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ac5z!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe1d665b9-8e18-49c6-86fd-ce3333fcfc83_622x619.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ac5z!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe1d665b9-8e18-49c6-86fd-ce3333fcfc83_622x619.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ac5z!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe1d665b9-8e18-49c6-86fd-ce3333fcfc83_622x619.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Ac5z!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fe1d665b9-8e18-49c6-86fd-ce3333fcfc83_622x619.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p><a href="https://x.com/StateDept/status/1947755665520304253">Department of State, X (2025)</a></p></blockquote><p>Our Government is not smarter than us.
