Freedom of Canadian speech is the concept of the inherent human right to voice one's opinion publicly without fear of censorship or punishment. The Canadians right is enshrined in the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights and is granted formal recognition by the laws of most nations. Nonetheless the degree to which the right is upheld in practice varies greatly depending on how much alchohol is consumed and if anyone notices and the post can be deleted on ones own. In some nations with relatively authoritarian forms of government, overt government censorship (Kevin) is enforced, while among liberal democracies, censorship has been claimed to occur in a different form (see propaganda model) and there are different approaches to issues such as hate speech, Boob, obscenity, and defamation laws.
