In this episode, Jonathan Fortier talks with Bruce Pardy about the assaults on free speech in Canada, the UK and Europe. These moves to censor and control speech, especially online content, are ominous indicators of multiple assaults on free expression and political liberty more generally. Pardy outlines the various developments, the legal implications, and argues that our liberty won’t be reclaimed if we continue to outsource our problem solving to the state.
Bruce Pardy is professor of law at Queen’s University, senior fellow with the Fraser Institute, and executive director of Rights Probe.
