Are Human Rights Commissions Silencing Canadians? | Live Show

Description
Human Rights Commissions across Canada are being accused of going far beyond their original role—now deciding cases that critics say involve speech, research, and opinion rather than clear discrimination.
Supporters call them protection. Critics call them overreach.
So what are they really doing today and should they be reformed or shut down entirely?
Join David Leis live with columnist Barbara Kay, lawyer Collin May, and professor Barry Cooper as they break down how these commissions work, how powerful they’ve become, and what it could mean for free expression in Canada. What policy changes are needed to correct this?
