Show Notes
On Episode 8 of Not Reserving Judgment, we explain how C-11, the new online streaming law, impacts free expression by regulating podcasts, YouTube videos (and, yes, pornography); we walk you through a disappointing decision that overturned a judge who wanted to hear evidence of the safety and efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines before mandating them against a parent's wishes; and we share our thoughts on Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe's decision to use the notwithstanding clause.
