Subhead:The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, the Democracy Fund and the Free Speech Union of Canada recently raised the alarm about the Liberals' censorship legislation, Bill C-9, during a Senate committee hearing.# YouTube-embed:wFBPcAOu1Bk Three of Canada's leading civil liberties organizations recently walked into a Liberal-dominated Senate committee room and made the case against Bill C-9 — together. The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, the Democracy Fund, and the Free Speech Union of Canada appeared side by side before the Senate's human rights committee, each offering testimony on the Carney government's proposed amendments to the criminal code. On a Tuesday's episode of The Ezra Levant Show , Ezra spoke with James Manson of the JCCF about what happened in that hearing room. Ezra framed the appearance as a generational shift, suggesting many “civil liberties groups turned off the lights during COVID” and arguing organizations like the Canadian Civil Liberties Association abandoned their mandate when it mattered most. The three groups now filling that void, he said, represent something new. Interestingly, Manson said the Senate experience, despite being dominated by Liberals, was less adversarial than he had anticipated. “I was kind of expecting to be in the belly of the beast,” he said, “but it wasn't that experience.”
