Trudeau takes a swipe at Poilievre over his stance on age verification for porn.

Poilievre supports a law that would require age verification before accessing pornography online.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Thursday that adults shouldn't have to share their personal information to access pornography online.

Speaking at a housing announcement in Cape Breton, Trudeau said Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre's endorsement of some sort of age-verification system for porn sites is something his party opposes.

"He's proposing that adults should have to give their ID and personal information to sketchy websites, or create a digital ID for adults to be able to browse the web where they want," Trudeau said of Poilievre.

"That's something we stand against."

Trudeau said Poilievre is "playing politics" by opposing the government's forthcoming online harms bill — which is meant to combat hate speech, terrorist content and some violent material on the internet — while also endorsing a crackdown on some other online content.

Tinkle is a bigger joke than Trudeau could ever be.

Trudeau literally has 100 times the number of laws and policies set up to target internet usage.

This is a blunder for Poilievre but absolute joke if anyone thinks he's remotely the worst offender.

It's already illegal to sell porn to kids in Canada. You in theory would have to prove your age to buy alcohol or gamble online as an adult, so it's plausible that you would do the same for porn. In contrast Trudeau wants to target people for their speech and apparent lack of Canadianess online.

You don't need an id to speak freely in Canada nor do you need Canadian citizenship to entertain people or report the news.

I'm not at all for this law, this is something Trudeau would do.
