Canada is sleepwalking into a new censorship era — and most people don’t even realize it yet. From internet regulation to “online harms,” this conversation breaks down what’s happening right now and why it matters for every Canadian.
In this episode, host Paul sits down with John Carpay, a constitutional lawyer and President of the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), to unpack the bills and cultural shifts he says are reshaping freedom of expression in Canada.
In this episode, we cover:
• Bill C-11 (Online Streaming Act): how CRTC power could expand deeper into online content
• Bill C-18 (Online News Act): why sharing news on Facebook changed — and what that means for Canadians
• Bill C-2 (“Strong Borders” / “Surveillance” concerns): warrantless search powers, cash limits, and privacy implications
• Bill C-9 (Combating Hate Act): fears around criminalizing speech and “UK-style” enforcement
• Online Harms Act (formerly Bill C-63): why critics call it the most serious threat to free expression
