About this episode
Despite the fact that no evidence has been unearthed since the apparent discovery of unmarked graves near residential schools, it may soon be illegal to question the accuracy of these claims.
Last month, the Independent Special Interlocutor on Unmarked Graves recommended introducing criminal sanctions against those who engage in “residential school denialism,” and the Trudeau government has stated this is something they would be in favour of.
Executive Director of the Canadian Constitution Foundation Joanna Baron joins The Rupa Subramanya Show to discuss why “outlawing denialism” is an infringement on Canadian’s right to free speech and why this type of legislation will likely be constitutionally challenged if passed.
