Show Notes
Justin Trudeau recently challenged "hateful online rhetoric" against politicians, citing reports that Alberta Premier Rachel Notley has received 11 death threats during her 3 years in office. Elsewhere, Environment Minister Catherine McKenna has met with Twitter executives in an effort to push the online platform to be more attentive about what is posted about politicians.
Roy asks callers to weigh in on this issue and asks if politicians are setting a dangerous precedent - one that would lead to reasonable criticism being shut down.
