SUMMARY:Confronting censorship & defending free speech
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\nIt’s a fundamental liberty of all Canadians – the right to freedom of expression. But free speech today is under attack by a new form of censorship. Professional associations are increasingly attempting to silence members who dare to speak freely against ideologically driven political and social agendas. Many professionals are engaging in self-censorship out of fear of reprimand. They can’t risk being publicly “cancelled” – or worse\, lose their careers. \nIn this webinar discussion\, we will explore Canadian Constitution Foundation Litigation Director Christine Van Geyn’s recent MLI publication\, The New Censorship. We will review the broader legal frameworks governing free speech in Canada and how these principles intersect with the responsibilities of professional bodies. \nWe will examine recent instances of speech infringement and highlight the challenges in navigating free speech issues\, especially in light of evolving legal precedents and the legal ramifications of restricting such speech. Our experts will provide insights into the legal landscape governing free speech in professional associations\, academic environments\, and broader social contexts. \n\n\n\n\nSpeakers \n\n\n\n\n\nPlease register for the event here.
