On today’s episode of The Candice Malcolm Show, guest host Kris Sims breaks down the growing threats to freedom of expression in Canada. Kris explains how free speech is being squeezed from both sides — with government money flooding the media and new laws threatening to criminalize dissent. She exposes how millions in subsidies and tax credits have put mainstream media on the government payroll — destroying public trust in journalism. Then she unpacks the Liberals’ latest censorship push — from Bill C-11’s online speech controls to the Online Harms Act, which could allow anonymous complaints, steep fines, and even house arrest for speech that makes someone feel “unsafe.” Later, she’s joined by journalist and former CRTC vice-chair Peter Menzies, who explains what these laws really mean for journalism, tech platforms, and anyone who dares to criticize the government.
