ZWAAGSTRA: Misinformation should be refuted, not censored

Article content To be fair, there is a lot of misinformation on the Internet. It’s frustrating to see people sharing blatantly false information about COVID-19 and other important policy issues. To many politicians, the obvious solution is to remove this misinformation from the Internet. Hence the demand by President Biden that social media platforms must do more to regulate the content posted by users. However, censoring this type of content will do more harm than good. That’s because censoring speech rarely changes people’s minds; it just drives that speech further underground. When people retreat into their underground echo chambers, they become even more likely to be led astray by misinformation than before.

QUESNEL: Manitoba needs to up its mining game

Article content Uncertainty over disputed land claims and protected areas continues to deter exploration and investment in Manitoba. Mining producers also complain about delays in the mining permitting process. Manitoba was also dead last in perception of transparency in permitting. Some things have changed, but they are still producing the results the province needs. Back in 2013, Manitoba had the highest mining taxes in the country. A study by the School of Public Policy at the University of Calgary documented how distorting our province’s mining taxation policies had become. That study should be dusted off and revisited since it contained many precious nuggets of policy wisdom for reform.
