TORONTO—From the trucker convoy protesting COVID-19 mandates to the ongoing debate surrounding biological sex, frontline activists shared their experiences during these culture-defining events with more than 125 Torontonians at a recent event venue in Little Italy.
Dubbed “Canada’s Free Speech Crisis,” the Dec. 6 event was hosted by Lighthouse Community Foundation and described as “a discussion, reflection, and debate on the pressing issue of free speech in Canada.” Moderated by Quillette online magazine editor Jonathan Kay, the event featured Queen’s University law professor Bruce Pardy and journalists Meghan Murphy and Trish Wood, who recounted their brushes with leftist authoritarianism.
