 ference \n\nThe governance of speech remains one of the most difficult top
 ics in public policy today. While free speech is foundational to democracy
 \, forms of expression that mislead and deceive\, that incite hatred\, or 
 foment violence and discrimination\, all pose direct dangers to democracy 
 and to human rights.  \n\nThis half-day conference (in person and online) 
 will explore the legal\, philosophical and policy dimensions of these tens
 ions through the Supreme Court of Canada’s latest decision on the interact
 ions among freedom of speech\, human dignity\, and equality law. The Court
 ’s 2021 decision in Ward v Quebec reset the boundaries of free speech and 
 equality law. Both areas circumscribe the protection of fundamental freedo
 ms\, the rights of minorities\, and of peoples with disabilities » Each ha
 s important implications for the forthcoming federal regulation of online 
 content and safety based on the development of the Court’s understanding o
 f what constitutes “social harm.” \n\nHumour\, Hate and Harm offers a uniq
 ue opportunity in an intimate setting for students\, scholars and the comm
 unity to discuss these pressing issues of social justice with leaders of C
 anada’s human rights institutions\, as well as prominent constitutional an
 d human rights litigators\, and anti-racism organizations. Seating is limi
 ted to facilitate discussion and interaction.  \n\nThe event is hosted by
