Event Details
In a series of its first proposed laws, the Carney government seems to be targeting essential rights and freedoms long valued in Canada -- Strong Boarders Act (Bill C-2), Act respecting Cybersecurity (C-8), Combatting Hate Act (C-9), and Strengthening Canada's Immigration System and Borders Act (C-12). What may appear as isolated legislative changes form a broader picture of creeping restrictions on privacy, expression and civic participation essential in a democratic society. Why is the government doing this? Are there better alternatives? Join a panel of leading experts exploring these questions.
