Further, it is worth pointing out to the Americans in the audience, Canada's freedom of expression isn't anywhere near as blanket-permissive as the US. That's before you get to the Notwithstanding Clause.
- bawolff 2y agoThis may be true, but i honestly think canada strikes a good balance. Like i'd be curious if anyone has any examples of things that would be protected by the first amendment in usa but not protected by section 2(b) where they think usa made the better choice. The notwithstanding clause is quite icky. Thankfully its rarely used outside of quebec although the recent "parent's rights" bill in saskatchewan is quite gross.
