Ezra Levant is the 2024 recipient of the Justice Centre's annual award for preserving and advancing freedom in Canada. As he looks forward to the award dinners in Toronto, Vancouver and Calgary, Mr. Levant talks about some highlights in his career as the publisher of the Western Standard print magazine and the founder of Rebel News.

Justice Centre President John Carpay talks about the recipient of the 2024 George Jonas Freedom Award, Ezra Levant, and how Mr. Levant is advancing freedom in Canada through his work as advocate, journalist, and visionary within the world of independent media. We also dive into a couple of John's recent columns: one on school absenteeism and another on how skilled but unvaccinated healthcare professionals in BC and Ontario are still prevented from working in their chosen field.

Justice Centre Education Programs Coordinator Ben Klassen talks to host Kevin Steel about all the activity in his department, starting with the High School Curriculum he's helping to develop. The first module on free expression is complete, and now Ben's working on the second which focuses on freedom of religion. We hear about the upcoming essay contest and the new photography contest. And Ben talks about his soon-to-be-published report, to be posted on the Justice Centre's spiffy new website, jccf.ca, about the repercussions of Bill C-18. That's the federal legislation that tried to force online communications platforms to pay news organizations for their content.
