text: We should be worrying in Canada at the decline in freedom of speech and debate in politics  ( immigration, values and even housing crises, aboriginal affairs, health care etc  without labels being hurled by the left at those with opposing views- this leads to a decline in civil debate and leads directly to the rise of leaders like Trump) and also in our universities where differing views and ideas should be freely expressed without certain groups crying they have been offended to shut down legitimate debate and discussion- this is insidious censorship.
  
  We should also worry about the decline in investigative journalism- why did it need the Globe and Mail to shine the light on the unsavoury aspects of the Vancouver Housing crisis while our politicians played deaf , dumb and blind. Another example is the Liberal funds for access to Ministers scandal- well done Globe and Mail in being the last newspaper standing funding investigative journalism.
