We cover four subjects, starting with an update on the City of Calgary and its latest bylaw to curtail free expression. Then we talk about Bill C-11, an attempt by the federal government to gain control over speech on the internet using the CRTC. From there we move on to the subject of de-banking to try and determine if there are any rights violations. We finish with a discussion of 15-minute cities and their potential to limit mobility.
