There has never been any freedom of speech in Canada.
It says so in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication.
Section 1 – Reasonable Limits Clause

(a) an indictable offence and is liable to imprisonment for a term not exceeding two years; or
(b) an offence punishable on summary conviction.
Section 319(2) – Wilful Promotion of Hatred
Every one who, by communicating statements, other than in private conversation, wilfully promotes hatred against any identifiable group is guilty of
