Philip Slayton on antisemitism, Jewishness, and free speech in Canada

In this episode, I speak with Philip Slayton, past PEN Canada president and author of 'Antisemitism: An Ancient Hatred in the Age of Identity Politics⁠'

⁠Philip Slayton⁠ is a Canadian lawyer, author, and past president of PEN Canada, a branch of an international non-profit defending free expression. His most recent book is Antisemitism: An Ancient Hatred in the Age of Identity Politics.

In this episode, I speak with ⁠Philip ⁠about free speech in Canada, where antisemitism comes from, what it means to be a Jew, and whether or not a line needs to be drawn around so-called "hate speech."
