Does Canada not have laws preventing Kevin O' Leary from negotiating the country's interests with a foreign government? : AskCanada | What do you mean we have freedom of speech?!

TL:DR Kevin O' Leary wants to lobby Trump to form some sort of union between Canada and the US (get ride of the boarder and all trade restrictions). Cute twinks are pretending he's (a private citizen) is trying to literally betray Canada.

How is it possible that O'Leary has become some sort of broker between Trump and Smith, while he negotiates away Canada's sovereignty?! And, should the RCMP and CSIS be investigating his actions?

Why? He's a private citizen. He can go chat with Trump and ask him for whatever.

We have laws against sedition.

Do we tho? https://www.criminalcodehelp.ca/offences/crimes-against-authority/what-is-sedition/

TL:DR it's illegal to incite sedition via words or libel (And even then you must have malicious motives). O'Leary isn't doing that.

Well, he didn't commit sedition, so. Sedition is overt rebellion. Desiring to peacefully and mutually merge two countries together isn't seditious, regardless of how you feel about it.

Very true, very downmarseyd

I'm not sure but he should be locked up.

/u/Significant-Rock9540 You're a terrible person who hates freedom. No wonder you don't want to be American

What crime did he commit or was accused of committing?

If you look at my post history, you'll see that I'm no fan of any of these wealthy elites.

When you start talking about locking people up without a crime, then I'm not okay with that either.

He's trying to broker a deal to sell Canada with zero authorization from the government. He's attempting a coup making him a traitor to the country.

How do you broker a deal when you have zero authority to deliver on any aspect of it?

I, a random internet man, have the identical amount of authority to negotiate the sale of the moon.

If you attempt to kill someone but don't succeed, you don't get off scot-free. You get charged with attempted murder. Same principal here, it's based on his intent, not whether he succeeds or not. It's Treason.

lmfao !r-slurs look it's one of you! No not even in fascist Canada is lobbied for a union between allied countries illegal.

In most countries you have to be at war to commit treason. What O'Leary is doing is sedition

"Sedition is the use of speech or words to incite others to rebel against the government or governing authority. According to Section 59 of the Criminal Code, it is a crime to speak seditious words, publish a seditious libel, or be part of a seditious conspiracy. The Supreme Court of Canada has defined sedition as any practice that is calculated to disturb the tranquillity of the state and lead ignorant persons to subvert the government and the laws of the empire. Seditious words, libel, and conspiracy are punishable by a maximum of 14 years in prison. However, peaceful and lawful protests against the government or its policies are not considered sedition."

1) This law is unenforceable, otherwise block Quebec wouldn't exist

2) We've been over this, he's allowed to privately express his opinion.

And treason. Actually, a form of high treason…

RETARD ALERT NUMBER 2


46 (1) Every one commits high treason who, in Canada,

(a) kills or attempts to kill Her Majesty, or does her any bodily harm tending to death or destruction, maims or wounds her, or imprisons or restrains her;

(b) levies war against Canada or does any act preparatory thereto; or

(c) assists an enemy at war with Canada, or any armed forces against whom Canadian Forces are engaged in hostilities, whether or not a state of war exists between Canada and the country whose forces they are.

We're not at war and the queen is dead and gone.
