S04E10 They Show Their Hand
Episode description
We cover four subjects, starting with an update on the City of Calgary and its latest bylaw to curtail free expression. Then we talk about Bill C-11, an attempt by the federal government to gain control over speech on the internet using the CRTC. From there we move on to the subject of de-banking to try and determine if there are any rights violations. We finish with a discussion of 15-minute cities and their potential to limit mobility.
