Listen "Where is the line with free expression in Canada?"
Episode Synopsis
The suspension of a U.S. late-night host has reignited debate on both sides of the border about where free speech ends and harm begins. In Canada, conversations around book bans, anti-hate laws, campus protests, and online speech are forcing us to ask tough questions: what can you say, and when does it cross the line?On this episode of Just Asking, we take your questions about freedom of expression with Hasan Alam, President of the B.C. Civil Liberties Association and a labour and human rights lawyer, and Ira Wells, President of PEN Canada, Academic Programs Director at Victoria College at the University of Toronto, and author of On Book Banning.
