Colin MayGUEST
So we're seeing people going before it who shouldn't.
Colin MayGUEST
We've seen disastrous decisions in BC, the Barry Neufeld decision that I discuss in my book, just a ludicrous decision, awarding $750,000.
Colin MayGUEST
Um, you know, that, and that's another thing that there needs some, some jurisdictions, I think Ontario does, uh, put, you know, limits on how much can be awarded.
Colin MayGUEST
Whereas BC and Alberta, the sky's the limit.
John CarpayGUEST
Currently, British Columbia's Human Rights Code, Section 7, allows people in BC to be prosecuted simply for stating their opinions.
John CarpayGUEST
The most egregious example, but certainly not the only case, was Barry Neufeld being ordered to pay $750,000 to some gay teachers in Chilliwack who the Human Rights Tribunal said had hurt feelings about him advocating to protect children from transgender ideology, saying they should not be exposed to that in schools.
John CarpayGUEST
I happen to agree with Barry Neufeld, but even if he was dead wrong, you're getting punished.
John CarpayGUEST
You're being ordered by a government tribunal to pay $750,000 to people who were offended by your speech.
John CarpayGUEST
So you solve the problem simply by repealing Section 7 of the Human Rights Code.
John CarpayGUEST
Well, it does.
John CarpayGUEST
I mean, and the Justice Center is not involved in this court case, but he and his lawyer are appealing the Human Rights Tribunal to the BC Supreme Court to try to get it overturned.
John CarpayGUEST
There's no chance of success, and the legal bills are in the tens of thousands of dollars for Barry Neufeld.
Shane JettGUEST
transgender surgeries and and you can identify as a man or a woman independent of what you are actually born and God selected at in in your womb when God was putting your parts together
Debbie GeorgatosHOST

Ziggy clip one so I'll show you a picture of this guy and he looks like somebody's grandfather Like you would like to invite him over for Thanksgiving or something.
Shane JettGUEST
That's right.
Shane JettGUEST

Iain BurnsHOST
And I also believe in free speech.
Iain BurnsHOST
I want to ask you, is that still your position? And I also want to ask you about the Barry Neufeld case, the chap who was on the wrong end of a human rights tribunal case and was fined $750,000.
Iain BurnsHOST
What's your take on that?
Elenore SturkoGUEST
Well, to your first question, of course, I believe in free speech, but discrimination isn't protected free speech.
Elenore SturkoGUEST
But with respect to the ruling of the Human Rights Tribunal, I respect their decision.
Elenore SturkoGUEST
I read it.
Elenore SturkoGUEST
And yeah, I but I also respect Barry Neufeld's position that he believes that his fine was inappropriate and he's asked for a review.
Jim CsekHOST
Back to me.
John CarpayGUEST
It is definitely under threat.
John CarpayGUEST
When Barry Neufeld in BC is ordered to pay $750,000 to some LGBTQ teachers in Chilliwack because he publicly spoke out against transgender ideology being imposed on children, when you have women in Alberta being prosecuted over saying that a drag show is not family friendly, There are threats to free speech, but we have to also put it in perspective.
John CarpayGUEST
We have an awful lot of free speech left in Canada, and we should exercise it.
John CarpayGUEST
So going
