About Prof. Bruce Pardy: https://law.queensu.ca/directory/bruce-pardy
Professor Pardy is a classically liberal legal academic for whom equal application of the law, negative rights, private property, limited government, and separation of powers are foundational to the Canadian and Western legal tradition. A critic of legal progressivism, social justice, and the discretionary administrative state, he has written on a range of pressing legal subjects at the front lines of the culture war inside the law, including environmental governance, climate change, energy policy, human rights and freedoms, professional and university governance, property and tort theory, free markets, and the rule of law. He has taught at law schools in Canada, the United States and New Zealand, practiced civil litigation at Borden Ladner Gervais LLP in Toronto, served as adjudicator and mediator on the Ontario Environmental Review Tribunal, and has published and commented widely in traditional and online media. He serves as senior fellow at the Fraser Institute, and helped to birth the Runnymede Society, a branch of the Canadian Constitution Foundation. He spearheaded resistance to and ultimate repeal of the Law Society of Ontario’s statement of principles (SOP) policy that required Ontario lawyers to attest to their ideological purity to maintain their licence to practice. He is one of the co-creators of the Free North Declaration, a public petition and movement to protect civil liberties in Canada from COVID-19 irrationality and overreach.
Professor Pardy is presently on leave from Queen’s Law to serve as the Executive Director of Rights Probe, a division of the Energy Probe Research Foundation, one of Canada’s leading public policy and governance thinktanks. The work of Rights Probe can be found on its website at

“WHO GETS TO DEFINE “TERRORISM?”
by Barry W. Bussey | Oct 27, 2023
In the winter of 2022, the prime minister and deputy prime minister of Canada labelled average citizens supporting a truckers’ convoy as terrorists. Like fire, the term spread amongst Canadians who trust their government. The base concept behind terror is fear. The use of this obvious misnomer did and should have its consequences: lack of confidence in the people who uttered it. Listen to freedom defender Barry Bussey share his views on language and how it affects our freedom of speech and especially the word terrorist in recent times.
