Did Conservatives violate their own terror bill by sharing "terrorist propaganda" on Facebook? | Press Progress: Bill C-51 defines "terrorist propaganda" as "any writing, sign, visible representation, or audio recording that advocates or promotes the commission of terrorism offences in general."

It goes on to say that, if a judge finds "there are reasonable grounds to believe that there is material -- that is terrorist propaganda or data that makes terrorist propaganda available -- stored on and made available to the public through a computer system," the court has the power to make sure it's deleted.

Defending the image, Conservative Party spokesman Cory Hann told CBC News that "we should all be troubled when jihadi terrorists single out very specific locations in our country, and call on their followers to attack it."

Good to know the Conservatives know they're making "available to the public" communication that "advocates or promotes the commission of terrorism offences in general" -- as C-51 would make illegal.
