Episode 87: What You Need to Know About Bill C-10

This past week Bill C-10, Internet free speech, and the government\u2019s digital policy agenda went mainstream as a lead topic in government, the media, and among many Canadians. This week\u2019s Law Bytes podcast departs from the standard format as I explain why the bill has suddenly become a hot topic, how the government has been inconsistent and at times incoherent in its attempts to justify the bill, and why the concerns regarding freedom of speech and CRTC over-regulation are absolutely justified.\nThe podcast can be downloaded here, accessed on YouTube, and is embedded below.
