"The OCLA takes a vigorous and highly principled approach to defending free speech rights, which is an approach that is sorely needed in Canada today."

"I am very pleased to learn about the Ontario Civil Liberties Association, and wish it the greatest success in its work, which could not be more timely and urgent as elementary civil rights, including freedom of speech, are under attack in much of the world, not excluding the more free and democratic societies."
– Noam Chomsky
Institute Professor, MIT
"Freedom of expression is our most fundamental and most precious freedom. It has been under attack in Canada for years. The Ontario Civil Liberties Association has taken a position that is both courageous and principled. The OCLA now stands alone and its position should be supported by all Canadians who cherish democracy and freedom."
– Robert Martin
Professor of Law,

“All subjects including religion and politics should be open to discussion and critical debate. There is a real need for an organization like the Ontario Civil Liberties Association to support free speech and to support the rights of individuals to challenge the conventions of today so that we can have a brighter tomorrow.”
– Edward C. Corrigan
Barrister and Solicitor
