Are We Entering a New Era of Online Surveillance in Canada? | Josh Dehaas
Canada is rolling out new laws to regulate online content—but at what cost? David Leis and Josh Dehaas, with Canadian Constitution Foundation, break down Bill C9 and many other censorship bills that are aimed at protecting children online, but raise serious questions about free speech, privacy, and government control over information. From age verification and internet surveillance concerns to AI regulation and censorship risks, Josh shares whether Canada is crossing a line between safety and overreach. At the heart of it is a policy clash: protecting people online… versus protecting open expression in a digital age.
