Talk Truth 09.30.26 – Leighton Grey | After Surrey RCMP officers showed up at Action4Canada founder Tanya Gaw’s home in connection with an investigation into material posted online, Talk Truth brought lawyer Leighton Grey back to tackle the questions Canadians are asking: What speech is protected? What could cross the line? What about private group chats? And what should you actually do if police show up at your door? Using a game of “Protected or Risky?” Corri puts a series of hypothetical statements to Grey before asking him to walk through what he says Canadians should know about answering the door, speaking to police, warrants, recording an encounter and protecting their rights.
