Justice Centre President John Carpay returns to the show to tell us about the book he's writing with the working title "Corrupted by Fear." It's about Canadian court judgments in constitutional challenges to the many Covid restrictions over the last 4 years. Judges, he's found, relied heavily on fear driven media narratives. He also discusses two recent and related columns, "COVID-19 in Italy, what actually happened?" and "Will we fall for the same old PCR tricks again?"

Lawyer Glenn Blackett talks about cases he's working on that involve free speech on campuses across Canada. This is part of the Justice Centre's Spotlight Campaign this month. He describes the case of the University of British Columbia's Free Speech Club where the administration shut down an event in which journalist Andy Ngo was to talk about Antifa. The other big case involves Professor Frances Widdowson. She was denied the opportunity to give a speech at the University of Lethbridge about the damage that woke culture does to academic freedom. Also, Glenn describes recent changes to health and safety laws used as cudgels to beat down free expression in post-secondary education and elsewhere.

Host Kevin Steel talks to former Ontario MPP Randy Hillier, an outspoken critic of the government's response to Covid. While exercising his Charter freedoms of expression and peaceful assembly, he was issued 25 tickets with fines. For his participation in the 2022 Freedom Convoy, he even faces criminal charges. In this interview, he speaks to the issue of governments using the courts to punish and silence critics. Mr. Hillier also explains what motivates him to keep fighting.
