Jail Time for Questioning Residential School Claims? Explaining Bill C-254 | David Leis

Is Canada about to criminalize free speech? Winnipeg Centre MP Leah Gazan has re-introduced a bill that could put Canadians in jail for questioning residential school narratives. It’s the third time in two years—and critics say it’s a dangerous step toward government-controlled speech.

We’re joined by David Leis, President of the Frontier Centre for Public Policy and host of Leaders on the Frontier, to break down what Bill C-254 actually means, why the “215 unmarked graves” story has shifted dramatically since 2021, and why these new speech-policing laws—from Bill C-254 to C-63—should concern every Canadian.
