The University of Alberta fired the head of its campus sexual assault centre after she signed an open letter calling reports of sexual violence during Hamas's Oct. 7 attack on Israel an “unverified accusation.” What the hell was she thinking? Whatever happened to believing survivors? And what's with union leaders and Pride Centre execs signing on, too? Is anybody actually thinking this through? 3:05 | Ariella Kimmel and Kristin Raworth talk to us about the "so-called feminists" who signed the open letter, and why it's inherently anti-Semitic.

Alex Pierson is joined by Kristin Raworth, a sexual violence survivor and now advocate, to discuss the issues surrounding this controversial court ruling.
Free Speech.Some love it. They feels it has given them the said freedom to speak their mind. Because of where they live, in this case, Canada, there should be no limits.Others are very concerned. They feel that this idea opens up the opportunity for harm, irresponsibility and danger for many. Specifically, the LGBT community.Last week, new Alberta Premier Jason Kenney wants to follow his counter part in Ontario Doug Ford.Alberta universities and colleges to conform to free-speech guidelines. Some may like it, but others wonder if this is as advantage or optics towards right wing thinking groups.The post-secondary education section of the United Conservative Party platform says the government will require the province’s universities and colleges to “develop, post and comply with free speech policies that conform to the University of Chicago Statement on Principles of Free Expression.”Often called the “Chicago principles,” the statement is the result of a university committee assembled in 2014 to state the school’s commitment to freedom of expression. The short report says, “It is not the proper role of the university to attempt to shield individuals from ideas and opinions they find unwelcome, disagreeable, or even deeply offensive.”Is this a good thing? Is this a bad thing? Can this hurt or harm?Our guests today will help us unpack that.Labour lawyer Dwayne Chomyn, University Professor Jay Gamble, and Kristin Raworth, advocate for Sexual Violence survivors join me in discussing this new policy.Topics we cover include;-The pro's and con's of this.-Free Speech-Counter Protest's and the Heckler's Veto.-The power of intelligent discussion-Debating on Twitter-Do we actually need this policy?Follow Dwayne:@Citizen004Follow Jay: @DrJayDrNoFollow Kristin: @KristinRaworthFollow me: @kevoleFacebook: Kevin OlenickSubscribe: Agree or Disagree:The PodcastWebsite:kevinolenick.com
