Ottawa has reconvened its Expert Advisory Group on Online Safety, and one name is a cause for concern, Bernie Farber. The announcement from Canadian Heritage says Farber, founding chair emeritus of the Canadian Anti-Hate Network (CAHN), will again help guide federal policy on “online harms.”
The same release also says the panel’s 2022 advice helped shape Bill C-63, the Online Harms Act, which later died in January 2025. That alone should have set off alarm bells in Ottawa.
