Rupa Subramanya: Free speech in Canada 'weak,' facing 'draconian' Online Harms bill

'This is the kind of stuff that you see in authoritarian, tinpot dictatorships in the Third World,' Subramanya said. 'Now... it's taking root here in a way that I never even expected.'

GUEST: Rupa Subramanya, columnist, investigative reporter, and writer for The Free Press

Tonight, a feature interview with Rupa Subramanya, one of Canada's most independent journalists. Rupa joins Ezra to discuss Canada-US relations, the rise of multiculturalism in Canada and its dangers from the Khalistani, and the state of free press in the West. 

Rupa Subramanya is a unique voice in journalism. We started following her years ago and were delighted when the National Post made her a columnist. Then, she started a podcast with our friends at True North.

More recently, she was snapped up by Barry Weiss's leading independent media company, The Free Press. She was one of the few journalists who actually just went on the street and talked to the truckers in the 2022 Freedom Convoy, giving them an opportunity to explain who they were and why they were there.

We're delighted to hear her insights tonight.

Free expression is a foundational Canadian value. We, the undersigned, call on the federal government to reject any legislation, regulation or bureaucratic mechanism that restricts lawful speech, surveils private communications or empowers the state to police what Canadians say online or in print.

Please donate to help Rebel News fight back against the Liberal government's draconian censorship regime!

The Carney Liberals are quietly preparing a new censorship regime aimed at regulating online speech — while also expanding police powers over private mail. If passed, these measures could make it harder for Rebel News to publish, reach supporters, and fight back legally. That’s why we’re launching an emergency censorship war chest now, to fund lawyers, build reserves, invest in new technology, and develop alternative ways to keep reporting if Rebel News is de-listed, deplatformed, or blocked from reaching Canadians. Please make an emergency donation today to help us prepare for the fight ahead.

    If Trump wants a 51st state we should offer him everything south of 49, all the way across. Maybe trade it for the Alaska panhandle. That way we get rid of Toronto, Montreal, OTTAWA, Victoria, and any number of other leftist cesspools in return for a vast tract of pristine wilderness. What’s not to like?

    How nice to see Rupa again! I missed her since she left True North Canada.

    And it’s Trudeau’s dad who started all this multicultural crapola. I don’t remember much politically before that but Canada was way different in the 60s. Even the CBC had a few good shows on radio and television.
