James Kitchen - May 04, 2023 - Vancouver, British Columbia

James Kitchen, a lawyer who defended churches that were shut down during the pandemic, said this when discussing the looming danger of censorship, "Individuals need to stop self-censoring. That’s a cultural cancer amongst Canadians, the fear to speak out. If you want to know what this looks like, go spend a month in Texas or South Dakota or Idaho and see what it’s like. It’s completely culturally different. People are just speaking their mind all the time, and you might be offended once in a while. But trust me, that’s a better price to pay than all the self-censorship."
