Prime Minister Justin Trudeau waded into the freedom of expression debate on July 13 as he addressed Radio-Canada’s decision to appeal a CRTC ruling requiring it to apologize publicly for saying the “N-word” in a radio program.
“It’s extremely important to underline that defending freedom of expression, defending journalistic independence and integrity, is always going to be a foundation not just of Canada, but of any strong democracy,” Trudeau said during a press conference in Kingston, Ontario.
