Yes, yes, this is a serious person testifying before Congress that Canada is less open to free speech than North Korea.

Tell me again that Bari Weiss's publication (for whom this person works) is a trustworthy publication on speech issues.
The Free Press lady - Rupa Subramanya - opens with the claim that Germany, France, and Canada have less free speech than North Korea. Bold thinking!

She's reading an opening statement I don't see posted anywhere. I think she complained ab some European countries penalizing people over swastikas?
