In this episode, host Steffanie Costigan takes a closer, balanced look at two of Canada’s most talked-about proposed bills: Bill C-9, the Combatting Hate Act, and Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act.

With a neutral lens, Steffanie explores the core of the debate — asking what if both sides have a point? While some see these bills as necessary protections against rising hate and harmful content online, others worry about government overreach and the erosion of free expression.

This episode breaks down the key issues, compares the proposed legislation to existing hate speech laws in Canada, and features audio clips from politicians discussing their intentions. Whether you’re left, right, or somewhere in the middle, this episode encourages you to think critically about where we draw the line between safety and censorship — and who gets to decide.

No agendas. No echo chambers. Just questions worth asking. Tune in now — only on Off the Record Canada.
