Criminalization of Holocaust Denial in Canada: MP Anthony Housefather on Bill C-250
Description
On this episode, Lisa catches up with Canadian Member of Parliament Anthony Housefather about Bill C-250, the Private Members’ Bill proposed to amend the Canadian Criminal Code to prohibit statements, other than in a private conversation, that willfully promote antisemitism by condoning, denying or downplaying the Holocaust.
MP Housefather also discusses other measures taken by the Canadian Government to combat antisemitism, his role as the President of the Canada Israel Friendship Group, and the actions taken by the International Parliamentarians to Combat Antisemitism, a group of Canadian, American, British, Australian, New Zealand and Israeli elected officials, to hold social media companies accountable for monitoring hate speech and dis-information.
