On the Vital Necessity of Free Speech with Dr. Jordan Peterson (are you listening, Saudis)?
08/30/2018
The Montreal Press Club marked the occasion of its 70th anniversary in 2018 by initiating a "Freedom Award" to mark the accomplishments of a single exceptionally courageous individual in the world of journalism. They chose as their first recipient Saudi blogger Raif Badawi (https://www.raifbadawi.org/), who has been tortured and imprisoned for his views by the oh-so-enlightened rulers of that state. I delivered this lecture on free speech on the occasion of the acceptance of the Press Club award by Raif Badawi's wife, Ensaf Haidar, April 26/2018 (video uploaded August 20).
