Madam Speaker, do I believe that the government wants to limit people in putting cat videos online? Of course I do not. However, his question is very telling. I would first say that it is designed, like everything the government says, to make the people feel small and tell them that they are really only concerned about cat videos. The people of Canada are smarter than that; they are not idiots. The people of Canada post poetry, music and beautiful stories online. They share their most beautiful moments. To distill all that down to cat videos is, once again, an insult by a Liberal snob on the common people. It is to suggest that they are interested only in frivolous and stupid things that need to be filtered out by a class of much more elite people. We believe in the common sense of the common people. We believe they have the judgment to choose what they should post, read and do online.
