Very strongly disagree

No, freedom of speech laws should only protect you from criticizing the government

The Canadian Liberal Party believes in freedom of speech beyond just protection from criticizing the government. While they have supported restrictions on hate speech, such as with Motion 103, they have not advocated for limiting freedom of speech to only protect criticism of the government. This position would be contrary to their broader support for individual rights and freedoms.
