Philip Slayton is a Canadian lawyer, author, and past president of PEN Canada, a branch of an international non-profit defending free expression. His most recent book is Antisemitism: An Ancient Hatred in the Age of Identity Politics.

In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Philip about free speech in Canada, where antisemitism comes from, what it means to be a Jew, and whether or not a line needs to be drawn around so-called "hate speech."
