No matter what portfolio Liberal cabinet minister Steven Guilbeault holds, his track record shows a repeated strategy of disqualifying his critics from voicing their positions.
Prior to being appointed to head Environment Canada in 2021, Guilbeault was Minister of Canadian Heritage. Under his watch, the Trudeau government crafted its multi-pronged approach to regulating the internet and expanding sweeping hate speech laws into the online realm. At the time, Bill C-10 passed through the House of Commons and was sent to the Senate before that year’s election stopped the anti-free-expression law in its tracks. Since then, the bill has been revived in the form of C-11.
While still on the Canadian Heritage file, Guilbeault repeatedly attacked freedom of expression and dismissed any criticism of his government’s plan to encroach on free speech as radical.
