Conservative MP Garnett Genuis is raising concerns about what he describes as “further attacks on free speech” after an event he was scheduled to host at York University in Toronto was not approved to proceed by the university’s student centre.
Genuis announced on social media on Jan. 7 that an event on jobs and youth unemployment he was set to host at York University on Jan. 9 had been cancelled. He initially attributed the change to a decision by the university’s students’ union, the York Federation of Students, but later clarified that it was made by the York University Student Centre.
