Episode description

As the Liberal government faces criticism over its so-called online harms bill, an adviser to Justin Trudeau has written an op-ed defending the bill and calling concerns about its effect on free speech “rage farming.” True North’s Andrew Lawton sets the record straight, then speaks with Canadian Constitution Foundation litigation director Christine Van Geyn about why people should be worried about the bill. Also, April 1 is proving to be a pivotal day for Canadian taxpayers – the carbon tax increase, a pay raise for members of Parliament, and even a hike to the alcohol tax. Perhaps this is why so many Canadians are poised to protest across the country on Monday. Franco Terrazzano, federal director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation, joins to navigate through it all.
