Judicially controlled 'Freedom of Speech' restricts public criticism or challenging the actions of the people of power. Historically, the real power of any society wishes anonymity while directing the lives and well-beings of m any. Much blood flowed to establish this freedom. Remember, power begets power. Power strives to monopolize.
Power is ambitious, domineering and often heartless.
Power wishes to dominate ideas, opinions and directions. Power, unlike noble leadership, greatly fears criticism. Criticism results in a spread of ideas resulting in opinions working contrary to the ambitions of power. Today, those most powerful fear criticism most. Canada's unique social and economic structure greatly limits the spread of ideas and overtly limits criticism of those with power.
