10:00 – Author and lawyer Philip Slayton says Canadians may be polite and deferential, but does that make us virtuous or just sheep? In his new book “Nothing Left to Lose: An Impolite Report Into the State of Freedom in Canada” (published June 1), Slayton argues that individual freedom is taken for granted in Canada, and we are frittering away our liberties while giving too much power to politicians and unelected judges. Do we still fight for what we believe in? Do we believe in anything anymore? Slayton joins Gormley to discuss his book and the state of Canadian freedom.
