In this episode, we sit down with Richard Moon to discuss his new book, The Life and Death of Freedom of Expression. Richard is a law professor at the University of Windsor and an expert on the constitutional protection of expression in Canada. He is also a frequent popular commentator and a Senior Fellow and contributor to the Centre of Free Expression. Of particular interest is Richard’s recent discussion of freedom of expression and the Palestinian solidarity encampments that took place on university campuses across the country.

This episode deals with the important question: what are the limits of free expression in Canada and why do they matter? Other topics discussed include Canada’s recent bill, The Online Harms Act; the academic exodus from Twitter (X), and the differences between public and private space as it relates to university campuses.

For more information on the above, please see Richard’s X account; Jamie Cameron’s piece on section 2(c); and the list of Richards publications here.
