With increasing global connectedness, the world today is smaller than it's ever been. Countries are coming together to share information in a global trend towards greater transparency and with that, undeclared assets are much more likely to be discovered. So if you've found yourself in a situation with undeclared assets, what can you do to get on the right side of things? That's where voluntary disclosures come in, allowing taxpayers to come forward voluntarily and correct tax filings with the assurance that there will be no investigations for tax avoidance or evasion. To help us explore voluntary disclosures, we're joined by an expert in the field, Stephen Solomon. Stephen is a partner at De Grandpré Chait and North American chair of the Global Tax team of Interlaw and he has extensive experience with the provincial and federal voluntary disclosure programs, especially in the context of undeclared foreign assets and income. In this episode, Marcelo and Stephen talk about how Canadians can utilize the voluntary disclosure program, the advantages of the program, and the consequences for non-disclosure.

What color is a fire engine? Well, if you're a fan of traditional fire helmets, then I assume you'd prefer your apparatus to be red. You know, fire engine red. But for years, since the 1970s, there's been that nagging question of conspicuity. What color is safest? What color do drivers see most readily? In today's world of highly distracted drivers, does color matter? My guest is Dr. Stephen Solomon. He's taken a look at the data that's been collected and has some answers. Stephen is an optometrist. He's also a veteran firefighter, with 17 years as a captain, and 17 years as a fire commissioner. He is a hazmat tech and TRT supervisor in Tioga County, New York. He's worked on projects to make fire apparatus safer. And you know that reflective and fluorescent trim on your turnouts? He worked with 3M to develop that. Support this podcast
In part two of our series #1AUSA–conversations on the First Amendment’s past, present, and future, live from last year’s National Conference on the First Amendment at Duquesne University–you’ll hear stories of ordinary citizens who have had an extraordinary impact on the First Amendment. The first panel, on First Amendment history and landmark cases, is moderated by Duquesne President Ken Gormley with panelists NCC Scholar in Residence Michael Gerhardt, radio and television commentator Hugh Hewitt, NYU professor Stephen Solomon, and Tulane Law School Professor Amy Gajda. Next, one of those landmark cases is brought to life as President Gormley sits down with Mary Beth Tinker, a plantiff from a pivotal First Amendment case, and First Amendment historian Shawn Peters. Later, Ohio Governor John Kasich shares his thoughts on the special place that First Amendment protections hold among bedrock American freedoms. This episode was presented by Duquesne University and The Pittsburgh Foundation. For more information about the National Conference on the First Amendment, visit www.duq.edu/1a.

Where does our country's deep commitment to free speech come from? It's not simply a slew of decisions by our Supreme Court starting around 1919 (before that date the First Amendment was not once invoked in a Supreme Court ruling). It also predates the ratification of the First Amendment in 1791, when the Bill of Rights was adopted and quickly put to a severe test with the Sedition Act that outlawed certain types of political speech. Stephen Solomon researched the wide range of political speech before the adoption of our Constitution and the Bill of Rights. He chronicles years of robust and often controversial speech, filled with political attacks, the display of effigies, pamphlets and broadsides that led finally to the constitutional conventions. I asked him about this moment in American history and how best to understand the nation's commitment to free speech as it was forged by the founders. Stephen Solomon is Associate Director of the Arthur Carter Journalism Institute at NYU and the Director of the M.A. Program in Business and Economics. He is the author of Revolutionary Dissent: How the Founding Generation Created the Freedom of Speech and the founding director of the First Amendment Watch website.
In 1787, the newly authored U.S. Constitution was sent out to the states for ratification. Despite fierce objections from Anti-Federalists, the Constitution did not include a bill of rights protecting freedom of speech and the press. The Anti-Federalist newspaper the Independent Gazetteer published an ironic comment on what the future of free speech would look like if the Constitution was ratified: Ah! what glorious days are coming; how I anticipate the brilliancy of the American court! … [H]ere is the president going in state to the senate house to confirm the law for the abolition of the liberty of the press. Men and brethren will not these things be so? Even though the Bill of Rights was adopted in 1791, the Independent Gazetteer’s withering sarcasm had been prophetic: On July 14, 1798, President John Adams signed the Sedition Act into law, making it a crime to “write, print, utter, or publish…any false, scandalous and malicious writing against the government of the United States, or either house of the Congress of the United States, or the President of the United States, with intent to defame…or to bring them…into contempt or disrepute; or to excite against them…the hatred of the good people of the United States.” A mere seven years after the adoption of the Bill of Rights and the First Amendment’s promise that “Congress shall make no law…abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press,” Congress had done just that. The Sedition Act paved the way for the prosecution and imprisonment of both journalists, editors, politicians, and ordinary Americans engaging in political, satirical and symbolic speech. In part two of this conversation with NYU professor Stephen Solomon, we explore how the Americans who had championed freedom of speech as the “great bulwark of liberty” and thumbed their noses at English sedition laws in the lead up to the Revolution came to adopt their own sedition law. We discuss issues including: The deeply polarized political environment of the 1790s; The fiercely partisan attacks of both Federalist and Democratic-Republican newspapers on political opponents; How the Sedition Act differed from seditious libel under English common law; The arguments for and against the constitutionality of the Sedition Act; James Madison’s eloquent and elaborate defense of robust free speech protections; The congressman, journalists and ordinary Americans who were prosecuted and imprisoned for voicing their opinions; The prosecutorial zeal of Secretary of State Matthew Pickering and Supreme Court Justice Samuel Chase (aka “Old Bacon Face”); The unintended consequences of the Sedition Act which strengthened Democratic-Republican newspapers and politicians and weakened Federalists; and Thomas Jefferson’s magnanimous inauguration speech.

The First Amendment of the US Constitution was adopted as part of the Bill of Rights in 1791. This “Great bulwark of liberty” provides that “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances.” In this conversation with professor Stephen Solomon we will explore the origins and drafting history of the First Amendment including: The inspiration from early state constitutions and declarations in Virginia and Pennsylvania The Articles of Confederation The fierce debate surrounding the Constitutional Convention and ratification process. How Federalists and anti-Federalists clashed over the necessity of a bill of rights How some Federalists used the Heckler´s Veto to silence anti-Federalists James Madison´s first draft bill of rights and why Madison thought that the American conception of freedom of speech differed substantially from the British conception Whether Freedom of Speech is really “the First Freedom” What were the essential justification for freedom of speech envisaged by the Founders Whether the Founders would agree with 21.

Law and journalism professor Stephen Solomon talks about how symbolic speech as a form of protest—like taking a knee during the National Anthem—has a long history in America.
The time of America’s founding was full of raucous debate and widespread dissent. Americans built effigies, wrote pamphlets, sang songs, and gathered at liberty trees to protest British rule. But while citizens of the 13 colonies, and later America, might have acted like they had a right to express themselves in the myriad ways that they did, the spectre of seditious libel—illegal statements criticizing the government—often hung over their heads. In “Revolutionary Dissent: How the Founding Generation Created the Freedom of Speech,” New York University journalism professor Stephen D. Solomon chronicles how early Americans such as Paul Revere, James Madison, Alexander McDougall, and others fought seditious libel laws and developed their understanding of the right to freedom of speech along the way. We sit down with Professor Solomon in today’s episode of “So to Speak” to discuss his new book. We also learn why anyone who cared about free expression at the time of America’s founding associated it with the number 45. www.sotospeakpodcast.com Follow us on Twitter: twitter.com/freespeechtalk Like us on Facebook: facebook.com/sotospeakpodcast Email us: sotospeak@thefire.org Call in a question: 215-315-0100
