Rights Probe executive director Bruce Pardy writes in a National Post column that corporate leaders betrayed capitalism when they jumped on the ESG and climate bandwagons. He joins the show to explain how. The renowned American journal Science published an article celebrating the rise of diversity-based hiring at the expense of relying on merit, but offered no evidence that diversity confers any academic benefit.

Bruce Pardy, law professor and Executive Director of Rights Probe reveals why a Canadian court wants access to your health records. What does this mean for your privacy?

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson sits down in-person with Canadian lawyer Bruce Pardy and podcaster Konstantin Kisin. They discuss Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's Bill C-63 (aka The Online Harms Act), what powers it gives to the government, what rights it strips from citizens, and why even Americans should be concerned.Bruce Pardy is executive director of Rights Probe, a law and liberty thinktank, and professor of law at Queen's University in Kingston, Ontario, Canada. He is a lawyer, academic, columnist, and outspoken critic of the illiberal managerial state, fighting at the front lines of the culture war inside the law. Bruce writes for the National Post, Epoch Times, and the Brownstone Institute, among others, and serves as senior fellow at the Fraser Institute, the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and the Frontier Centre for Public Policy. He has taught at law schools in Canada, the United States and New Zealand, practiced civil litigation in Toronto, and served as adjudicator and mediator on the Ontario Environmental Tribunal. The legal ground, Bruce has written, is shifting beneath our feet. The individual is losing to the collective. An ever-expanding bureaucracy regulates life from cradle to grave, including private behavior and speech, in the name of common good. The law has become discretionary, arbitrary, and unequal. The end of Western liberal civilization, as we have known it, is conceivable. Konstantin Kisin is a Russian-British satirist, social commentator, and co-host of the TRIGGERnometry Youtube show. He is also the author of “An Immigrant's Love Letter to the West,” a Sunday Times bestseller. He has written for several publications, including Quillette, The Spectator, The Daily Telegraph, and Standpoint, on issues relating to tech censorship, woke culture, comedy, and other topics, but he currently publishes articles on his popular Substack. Kisin made headlines in 2018 when he refused to sign a "safe space contract" to perform comedy at a British college and again in 2023 when he participated in an Oxford Union debate on the motion of "This House Believes Woke Culture Has Gone Too Far." His speech at the debate received viral attention and has been seen by over 100 million people around the world. - Links - 2024 tour details can be found here https://jordanbpeterson.com/events Peterson Academy https://petersonacademy.com/ For Bruce Pardy: On X https://twitter.com/pardybruce?lang=en For Konstantin Kisin: TRIGGERnometry Podcast / @triggerpod Substack https://konstantinkisin.substack.com/ Twitter https://twitter.com/KonstantinKisin?r...

The World Health Organization's is forging ahead with its planned pandemic treaty, which is likely to include a range of measures that should concern Canadians. The draft agreement puts the WHO at the helm of public health emergencies, getting countries to commit to “follow WHO's recommendations.” It also asks states to commit to restricting “false, misleading, misinformation or disinformation.” Law professor and Rights Probe executive director Bruce Pardy joins the show to discuss. Also, the agenda for next week's World Economic Forum annual meeting has sessions about the next pandemic, the future of free speech, and several about accelerating the “transition” away from oil and gas. Plus, more than three months after the devastating October 7 attacks by Hamas, the media continues to demonize Israel. Columnist Barbara Kay returns to expose the extent of the gaslighting.

One year on, what is the legacy of the trucker convoy protests? Why have so many people bought into the idea that a society and its problems must be managed and controlled by so-called experts? And why are laws that pursue equity fundamentally at odds with a society based on the rule of law?“If the government has a license to treat people differently depending upon their identity, then they now have a license to punish and reward as they wish,” says Bruce Pardy, the executive director of Rights Probe and a professor of law at Queen's University in Canada, in this episode of American Thought Leaders.“In many ways, the most disappointing thing about this experience during COVID was the fact that a great many people supported the regime, and they didn't seem to have very much appreciation for the aberration that it represented,” says Mr. Pardy.

Prof. Pardy shares with Barry the distinctions between the two slates of Bencher Candidates for the Law Society of Ontario. The Bencher Election campaign for the Law Society of Ontario (LSO) is now under way and it is a doozy! The stakes could not be higher for the over 55,000 Ontario lawyers.

Beat the censors, sign-up for our newsletter: https://firstfreedoms.ca/call_to_action_pages/stay_informed/ The Bencher Election campaign for the Law Society of Ontario (LSO) is now under way and it is a doozy! The stakes could not be higher for the over 55,000 Ontario lawyers. In 2019 an uprising occurred among the Ontario lawyers that saw a slate of 22 benchers elected with the aim of stoping the LSO's policy of imposing a "Statement of Principles" upon the legal profession. This policy would have required lawyers to promote equality, diversity and inclusion in their practice. Opposition quickly arose because of its attack on free speech. Not only were lawyers expected to carryout the policy, but they had to believe in it. One lawyer noted, "While the LSO has the mandate to regulate lawyers, it has no mandate to regulate t Lawyers play an essential role in our society; that role, however, does not include becoming state agents that parrot state-sponsored speech." 22 of the STOPSOP were elected as benchers in 2019 and eventually the SOP was stopped as promised. The benchers are up for election again in 2023 and this time there are two opposing camps - one called the "FULLSTOP" slate of 35 lawyers seeking to become "Benchers"; the other group is called the "Good Governance Coalition" slate of 45 lawyers. The choice could not be starker. The FullStop group wants to "Stop Bloat" - reducing the LSO budget, annual fees, and bureaucratic interference in the practice of law; "Stop Creep" - restore the LSO to its core mandate of regulating competence and integrity; "Stop Woke" - Remove social engineering, group identity politics, and "woke" ideological agendas from the LSO. The Good Governance Coalition - wants to "return competent, representative leadership" to the LSO. In other words, it wants to get back to the agenda of the pre-2019 program that caused the FullStop group to come into existence. Barry chats with law professor Bruce Pardy, who is the executive director of Rights Probe - www.rightsprobe.org. Prof. Pardy shares with Barry concerns he raised in a recent article stating - "It threatens not just lawyers but professionals of all kinds, as well as every Canadian who might someday need their services: embrace our politics or risk losing your licence."

Canadians have been subjected to severe restrictions on our personal liberties and many would argue, egregious infringements on Charter rights over the past few years. Can Canadians rely on the Supreme Court of Canada to protect their Charter rights and freedoms or has the highest court in Canada been compromised by its progressive agenda? Being subjected to vaccine mandates and being locked down by the state have inspired lawyers and constitutional advocates to raise the alarm and voice their concern over the erosion of liberties and rights in Canada. One of those lawyers is Queen's University Law Professor Dr. Bruce Pardy. Bruce Pardy is one of Canada's leading legal minds and has been one of the loudest constitutional advocates in Canada over the last two years. Professor Pardy is also the Executive Director of Rights Probe, an organization launched with the intention of promoting a stringer understanding of the constitutional legal system and promoting a classical liberal conception of individual rights and the rule of law. On this episode of the Rupa Subramanya Show, Rupa and Bruce discuss the politics that drive Canada's Supreme Court, the likelihood that the Supreme Court will protect Canadian Charter rights if the court is to hear challenges on mandates and other restrictions and a discussion about the advocacy work that Bruce and his colleagues are doing on behalf of Canadians.Support the show: http://donate.tnc.newsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Today on the show, Scott found out why bricks-and-morter businesses are concerned about the Burlington Food Truck Festival, and then learned how difficult it is -- in theory -- to land a plane with no previous training. A team at McMaster University is looking into the social factors behind the apparent "orgasm gap," and a co-author of the study shared what has been discovered as well as why you will want to pay close attention to the results. We caught up with the Brott Music Festival's new interim director, and next looked at what will happen to the Liberal government's Environmental Assessment Act now that the Alberta Court of Appeals has quashed it. Hamilton youth will soon be able to ride the HSR at 50% of the price, and Scott got the details about how and why. Finally, a look at last night's provincial leaders debate and where this race is heading in Ontario, as well as an update on the saga of Roe vs. Wade and abortion rights in the United States.

Bruce and Barry discuss a range of issues from self-censorship and conformity to the legacy of the Charter.

Or will we stand for individual freedom?

I have put forward Bill C-257. This bill would add political belief and activity as protected categories against discrimination. It would prevent people from being fired or denied service because of their political views. To discuss this issue, I am joined this week by three prominent legal experts, with wide ranging perspectives. Paul Champ is a practicing lawyer with significant experience dealing with cases involving the Canadian Human Rights Act. Dr. Bruce Pardy is the executive director of Rights Probe and professor of law at Queen's University. Dr. Dwight Newman is the Canada Research Chair in Indigenous Rights in Constitutional and International Law. He teaches at the University of Saskatchewan. If passed, Bill C-257 would significantly shape human rights jurisprudence in Canada and provide substantially more protection for speech and for diversity of thought. For more information on this bill, check out the following: My column in the Toronto Sun on this issue: https://torontosun.com/opinion/columnists/genuis-discrimination-based-on-political-views-undermines-democracy The video of the press conference where I tabled the bill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBMJCGrYUjA The text of the bill itself: https://www.parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/44-1/bill/C-257/first-reading To never miss another episode, follow Resuming Debate on Spotify or Apple Podcasts and don't forget to leave a review.
