How strange that this is not seen as a punishable offense? I'm not Canadian, not familiar with sedition laws there, but there are countries where articles like these would put you in jail immediately.

Edit: Maybe someone with legal experience can explain it using this as reference: https://www.criminalcodehelp.ca/offences/crimes-against-authority/what-is-sedition/ ?

Wow, I figured we didn't have laws like that here. A few years ago we had a bunch of honkies drive on down to Ottawa. They had a website with their plans, and they literally said they were going there to overthrow the government. If you want here is a Wikipedia article about them

They got some house arrest

Edit: I have added a Wayback link to the MOU.

For none Canadians, they are called honkies because they honked their horns for week, not because they are country bumpkins.

I'm positive there was some overlap, but still mostly separate circles in a Venn diagram.
