Do we really have free speech in Canada when we can't protest the government?
Manage episode 404698796 series 2712704
Do we really have free speech in Canada when we can't protest the government? Why isn't the media doing its job? Is Justin Trudeau going to get away with all he is continuing to do to silence dissent in Canada?
Mocha Bezirgan is a journalist from Turkey living in Alberta, who has been among the very few to cover the case of the Coutts Four, apparently imprisoned for participating in the Freedom Convoy protests at the border, in Coutts, Alberta.
In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Mocha about the case, as two of the men have been released, though Chris Carbert and Anthony Olienick remain in remand; the troubling parallels between Canada and Turkey, in terms of free speech; and the failures of mainstream media and journalists in Canada.
