For supporters of free speech in Canada, this year has certainly been a nervy one. From Prime Minister Trudeau’s signing of the “Christchurch Call to Action” and the “Digital Charter” against “hate speech”, to the Justice and Human Rights Committee’s draconian recommendations for combatting “online hatred”, 2019 has presented the biggest potential for rolling back Canadian speech rights to the pre-Section 13-days.
The reinstatement of that law, in fact, which to remind had barred online speech that could expose identifiable groups to mere contempt, had been front-and-centre on the Justice Committee’s recommendations-list. Going by Andrew Scheer’s treatment of fellow MP Michael Cooper following that Committee’s hearing on the issue and his general silence on the Liberals’ speech-restriction push this election, concerned Canadians have much reason to be on edge.The Comment section of online publications is the new front in the ongoing Cancel Culture Battle.
