In this episode of Hart2Heart, Dr. Mike Hart sits down with Cosmin Dzsurdzsa to dissect all the newest legislation in Canada like the Online Harms Act (Bill C-63) which would reintroduce Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act to regulate online speech with hefty fines up to $70,000. Cosmin explains how this vague definition of "hate speech" could lead to censorship and punishment for debating controversial issues like gender identity. They also discuss concerns over the ArriveCan app scandal, the loss of free speech for medical professionals, the influence of big pharma and lobbyists on policies like gender-affirming care, and the broader pattern of government overreach and ethics violations under the Trudeau administration.
