The University of Ottawa Liberty Society erected a wall of free speech Feb. 5–6 in response to the U of O’s failing grade on a free expression index released in October. The wall was intended to be an exercise in free speech for all students, but was covered with remarks from the Revolutionary Student Movement (RSM), formerly called the Marxist Students’ Association.
For the University of Ottawa to receive a failing grade on freedom of speech—no matter the source—violates two principle notions of university life.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has ranked the University of Ottawa among the worst in Canada in terms of freedom of expression.
