What can I say, I live in a country where free speech as one describes it in the United States, doesn't strictly exist. You can't just say what you want freely, whenever wherever. there are rules.

The wikipedia article is quite good on this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech_in_Canada

I'm... pretty okay with it, tbh. It means that you can't just say shit about someone, or a situation without being accountable for your actions. As the saying goes, a lie can be halfway around the world before the truth puts on its shoes.
