The evolving battlegrounds of free speech: Peter Copeland and Kristopher Kinsinger

Welcome to Inside Policy Talks, the premier video podcast of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute.

In this episode, Peter Copeland, Deputy Director of MLI's Domestic Program, is joined by Kristopher Kinsinger, an Ontario lawyer and civil liberties advocate, to discuss the pressing issues surrounding freedom of expression and freedom of peaceful assembly in Canada.

They delve into the legal framework and jurisprudence around our fundamental Charter rights, and highlight recent Supreme Court cases that have grappled with the limits of hate speech and offensive expression.

They also explore a current case Kinsinger is involved in, where he represents the Canadian Constitution Foundation in a challenge to a municipal bylaw restricting "objectionable" conduct on public property.

Kinsinger offers sharp insights into the shifting landscape of civil liberties and underscores the urgent need to safeguard the fundamental freedoms that uphold a free and democratic society.
