MPs in the House of Commons were debating an amendment to the Liberal government’s online regulation bill on March 30 when Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre was asked to define his use of the word “woke.”
Poilievre had said earlier that day in the House during question period that Bill C-11, also known as the Online Streaming Act, would empower the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) to “manipulate social media algorithms in order to shut down voices it does not want people to hear.”
