I had an appearance today at Heritage committee to talk about freedom of expression. The question was âThe means government should have at its disposal to ensure the exercise of freedom of expressionâŚâ Here are my opening remarks.
In response to my remarks, a Liberal MP used his question time to ask me:
1. do I support abortion
2. do I support a Niqab ban
3. what do I think of trans kids
4. do I support using the N word.
I have a forthcoming book about freedom of expression, the fascinating history of the right and its history dating back to ancient days and the modern challenges. The Liberal member used his time to make the most unconnected, bizarre partisan attacks imaginable.
These are not serious people, they are not curious about the foundations of this right or the role it plays in democracy. Their lack of interest in this right explains why this federal government has advanced some of the most censorious pieces of legislation in modern Canadian history, like C11, C18 and C63.
The book is scheduled to come out in December. You can sign up here to be notified of its release. The first 10 people to register will receive a free electronic copy: theccf.ca/FreeSpeechInCanada
