Ironic, don't you think? This is the type of interview CBC would have done years ago on one of their current affairs radio shows. The denial of free speech is an historical feature of fascism. We all thought the military defeat of the Nazi version of fascism meant democracy had won for all time. Meanwhile, the fascists set up international corporations to conceal and promote their ideology now quite evident in the rise of global authoritarian regimes; unwittingly aided by the protofascism of the woke left. I claim my right to think, speak and write freely and debate ideas.

I am a long time fan of Doyle. Good catch. Hope to see you on Triggernometry and Dark Horse and on Bari Weiss and with Meghan Murphy and oh heck, you can make the rounds. Speaking of Meghan Murphy, the way she was treated by the CBC caused me to lose faith in that institution.

Nice. You should have a sit down with James Lindsay. That would be great.

Canada is a mess. Bill C16 coerced language and forced redefinition of woman to a feeling? Bill C10 (internet control) and C38 (hate speech) in the shadows.

My leftist brethren need a serious attitude correction.

To be clear, if you do not stand for:

-Freedom of thought

-Freedom of speech

-Freedom of association

-Freedom of movement

-Bodily autonomy

You're not a leftist.

SUCH a relief to hear this issue discussed courageously and openly. Please forward this to anyone you know who may be open-minded enough to listen.

Yeah, I agree with him. I think the reason most well meaning people go along the "supposed" S.J. movement is a superficial understanding of its real purpose. Underneath it's really, "the new left's assault upon liberalism, individuality and equality of opportunity"

Doyle is the most intelligent, eloquent advocate for free speech that I’ve ever heard. Thank you for featuring him and allowing him to express his views so expansively.

Hate laws are NO different than anti-blasphemy laws.

FREE SPEECH IS ESSENTIAL TO FREE THINKING AND UNDERSTANDING YOUR WORLD AND HOW YOU ARE PART OF IT. THOSE OTHER PERSONS WHO SEEK TO DENY SUCH LIVE IN THE " CELLARS " OF THEIR MINDS AND WILL NEVER GROW OR UNDERSTAND OTHERS OR THEM SELVES, THEY WILL BE HYDE-BOUND BY THEIR OWN IDEOLOGY.

"Be braver" excellent!

Good conversation. I would add that free speech reflects two key aspects of our Western heritage, namely its Judeo-Christian and Greco-Roman roots. For free speech to truly flourish will also require we acknowledge the former. Christianity is not the enemy right now.

Terrific interview, as was the first. I subscribed to you on Substack right after seeing Glenn Greenwald interview you on his podcast, having never heard of you previously. (I don’t consume MSM, so that’s why.) I liked what you said during that interview, and now that I’m reading your articles and listening to you interview your own interesting guests on Substack, I must say that I have not been disappointed! The blend of written word and audio is great, keep it up, and thanks.

Brilliant interview, thank you, Tara. This got me to subscribe. I want to support brave people like you who are leading the way out of this control and manipulation of free thought and speech.
