Freedom · Community · Sovereignty
An independent Canadian archive and active blog for source trails, public-interest stories and civil-liberties questions.
Civil liberties · courts · online speech
Speech Watch tracks cases where online comments, social posts, criticism, allegations, protest speech or platform activity lead to police attention, court orders, contempt findings, job pressure, account penalties or public proceedings.
The lane is careful by design: it records pressure on speech while separating allegations from proof, social-video claims from court records, and public-interest accountability from harassment.
Speech Watch · Canada / census follow-up
A Canadian TikTok points to Government of Canada social-media monitoring and an alleged Census Canada backyard visit. PBC separates verified StatCan monitoring/follow-up practices from the unverified encounter.
Quebec · defamation / contempt
The TikTok points to a real case: a Quebec woman jailed after social-media accusations, defamation orders and contempt findings. PBC separates speech concern from the actual court record.
How this section works
Every entry should identify the post or comment, the official action, the judge or agency where public, the legal basis, the press/court record, and what remains unproven.
Submit leads
Send public links where someone was arrested, sued, threatened, removed, investigated, disciplined or silenced after online comments. PBC will look for press, court records and official documents before publishing.
