One of the many ideas discussed at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos this year was freedom of expression. Global elites often aren’t fond of freedom of expression, from tech companies that restrict their users’ speech to leaders of international organizations calling for regulation of what they call “misinformation.” True North’s Andrew Lawton takes a look at what some of them are trying to do – and why Canadians in particular should be worried.

Also, Chrystia Freeland told her WEF colleagues how the Canadian government needs to force “decarbonization” – but that it’s okay because it will lead to “more jobs.”

Plus, the return of Andrew’s famous Davos hot chocolate rankings, back by popular demand.
