The SpaceX founder and CEO Elon Musk has lambasted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for “crushing free speech” in the country.?

Musk’s reaction came in the wake of a recent order of the Canadian government which makes it compulsory for online streaming services to formally register with the government for 'regulatory controls'.

Elon Musk was responding to a post by journalist and author Glenn Greenwald who was commenting on the ruling.

"The Canadian government, armed with one of the world's most repressive online censorship schemes, announces that all "online streaming services that offer podcasts" must formally register with the government to permit regulatory controls," Glenn Greenwald posted on X (formerly Twitter), mentioned ANI report.

Responding to this, Elon Musk stated, "Trudeau is trying to crush free speech in Canada. Shameful".

Notably, this is not the first time the Trudeau government has been accused of acting against free speech.

In February 2022, Trudeau invoked emergency powers - for the first time in the country's history - to arm his government with more power to respond to the trucker protests, who were opposing the vaccine mandates at that time.

Meanwhile, the Canadian PM created an uproar after he alleged India's role in the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

However, India has outrightly rejected the claims, calling it 'absurd' and 'motivated'.

Notably, Canada has yet to provide any public evidence to support the claim about the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

India has suspended its visa services in Canada, following Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau's allegations of Indian involvement in the killing.

Amid strained ties, India issued an advisory for its citizens and those who are travelling to Canada to exercise "utmost caution in view of growing anti-India activities and politically-condoned hate crimes and criminal violence" in the country.
