Freedom of Speech: Help protect it in Canada. Join us here


CANADIAN CENTRE FOR
POLICY STUDIES


Free Speech and Liberty Symposium
December 7 – Ottawa, Ontario

Freedom of speech is not just important – it is, in fact, the foundation of an open and free society. In Canada, however, as in other countries in the Western World, this and other basic freedoms are under attack under the pretext of protecting and promoting human rights.

Join us in Ottawa December 7 as we survey Canada’s historic commitment to individual liberty and how current government practices conflict with that proud tradition. Learn how, by suppressing free speech, human rights laws are actually undermining human rights in Canada and abroad. Examine the prospects for reversing the tide and learn from the experts what you can do to help.

Speakers include:

Brian Lee Crowley – Past President and Senior Fellow at the Atlantic Institute for Market Studies and author of the new book Fearful Symmetry – The Rise and Fall of Canada’s Founding Values
Barbara KayNational Post columnist
Peter Stockland – Former editor of the Montreal Gazette and currently Executive Director of the Centre for Cultural Renewal
Karen Selick – Senior Counsel at the Canadian Constitution Foundation
Joseph C. Ben-Ami – President of the Canadian Centre for Policy Studies
Bjorn Larsen – President of the International Free Press Society – Canada
John Robson – Radio commentator and Ottawa Citizen columnist
