Description: I'm in Edmonton Alberta talking about censorship by professional regulators. Whether you are a doctor, lawyer, accountant or psychologist you still have a right to free speech - your regulator should not be policing private off-duty opinions about issues like politics, religion or culture. But too many are. I wrote a big report about this, and came to Alberta to talk about it! #censorship #freespeech </video> <video> The problems with Part 1 of the Online Harms Act Description: Most critics of Trudeau's Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act, have focused on Parts 2 and 3, which deal with criminal and human rights penalties for hate speech. Part 1 needs some attention, because the government has split the bill and is now prioritizing part 1, which Christine explains will take us back to the old days of twitter as a censorship platform. #cdnpoli #elonmusk #twitter #trudeau #x #freespeech #censorship #canada #news #politics #cdnpoli #law #lawyer #cdnlaw #c63 </video> <video> Town Hall: Free Speech in Canada book launch Description: Recorded on Thursday, December 12, 2024. This week our new book on free expression became available on Amazon (both in print and kindle editions). And we held a Town Hall meeting with our followers to discuss the book and answer your questions about free speech. Authored by CCF Litigation Director Christine Van Geyn and CCF Counsel Josh Dehaas, Free Speech in Canada offers eight concise chapters covering everything from the origins of free speech to the intersection of expression and property rights. The goal was to write a guide for Canadians who are concerned about freedom of expression, but who want cases explained in straightforward and easy to understand language.

Part of her focus was on what she calls “residential school denialism”. She defines denialism pretty broadly – it includes minimizing the harm of residential schools, saying the death rates were typical for the period, saying that we don’t know the truth, that there is a conspiracy to exaggerate deaths, and that it wasn’t a genocide. And Murray wants to criminalize this speech. This is a terrible idea. A lot is unknown, and creating a broad criminal sanction around this topic will not allow for an investigation to take place. Residential schools were a terrible policy, and to the extent that people want to minimize how bad it was, the stories Murray collected in her report are a better answer to that misunderstanding. Stories like experimentation on children, abuse, and disease. Those stories are the answer. Not criminalizing speech. </video> <video> CCF warns the Committee of the dangers of Bill C-63 Description: Meeting No. 127 JUST - Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights (Dec 12 , 2024) CCF Executive Director Joanna Baron's opening statement.

Description: There are some horrifying euthanasia stories in Canada. The associated press reported the following: "When a health worker inquired whether anyone had euthanized patients for blindness, one provider reported four such cases. In one, they said, an elderly man who saw 'only shadows' was his wife’s caregiver when he requested euthanasia; he wanted her to die with him. The couple had several appointments with an assessor before the wife 'finally agreed' to be killed, the provider said. She died unexpectedly just days before the scheduled euthanasia."
