Parliament returns in just six days,
and Bill C-9 is first on the docket.
This episode of Tap the Maple breaks down
why Bill C-9 represents one of the most serious
threats to free speech and religious liberty in
modern Canadian history.
Framed as “protection,” this bill fundamentally changes how speech, belief, and intent are treated under Canadian law.
Filmed following a town hall in London, Ontario, featuring Conservative MPs Andrew Lawton and Jamil Jivani, this episode gives voice to serious concerns being raised inside and outside Parliament.
Andrew Lawton explains why Bill C-9’s structure sets a dangerous precedent for censorship, while Jamil Jivani shares why faith, conscience, and freedom of belief are not abstract concepts, but lived realities.
Throughout this episode, a QR code is displayed linking to a Conservative petition opposing Bill C-9.

Why This Matters:
Freedom of Expression: Bill C-9 could inadvertently limit our ability to freely express opinions and engage in open discussions. It may create a chilling effect by discouraging people from speaking out on important issues.
Potential Overreach: By broadening the definitions of hate speech and propaganda, the bill might unintentionally impact legitimate religious, cultural, and political expression.
Engagement and Action: It’s crucial that we, as concerned citizens, make our voices heard. Contacting our Members of Parliament (MPs) is a powerful way to influence the legislative process.
