Abstract
As in other Western democracies, free speech and open inquiry are protected in Canada through a combination of constitutional and legislative guarantees, along with a wide range of institutional practices, regulations and precedents. In public law, section 2(b) of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication. In private law, restrictions on free speech and open inquiry are more common and fall under familiar branches of civil law, including administrative law, contract law, privacy law, (non-criminal) defamation law and tort law.
