Program Title: The joke that made it to the Supreme Court of Canada
Description: More than a decade ago, comedian Mike Ward told a joke about a disabled young singer named Jérémy Gabriel.
The repercussions of this joke turned into a lengthy legal battle between the two, and led to a hearing at the Supreme Court of Canada this week.
Today on Front Burner, Marie-Danielle Smith from Maclean's magazine, walks us through how this case ended up at Canada's top court and how it has sparked a debate over freedom of speech and marginalized people in this country.
