Struck Down! Ontario's Ag-Gag Law Defeat Unpacked

Across Canada, provincial ag-gag laws have made it illegal for whistleblowers and journalists to go undercover to expose the horrific cruelty that exists on the farms and in the slaughterhouses of our nation’s meat, dairy, egg, and fur farming industries. In Ontario, this is no longer the case! On April 2nd, Animal Justice lawyers struck down major provisions of Ontario’s ag-gag law, Bill-156, charging that it unconstitutionally violated Canadians’ freedom of expression. For the first time in Canadian history, lawyers have successfully defeated ag-gag legislation in court. This is a landmark victory for animals & free speech, and a decisive win against the cruel meat, dairy, egg, and fur farming industries. Animal Justice Executive Director Camille Labchuk, along with prolific animal rights journalist Jessica Scott-Reid, will join us to break down the Ontario court’s groundbreaking ruling and discuss what it means for the future of ag-gag legislation in Canada and for undercover investigations in Ontario going forward.
