The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled against the Ontario government's law restricting third-party political advertising. The law, introduced by Premier Doug Ford's government, limited how much organizations like unions and advocacy groups could spend on ads before elections. The court found that these restrictions unfairly benefited political parties while silencing other voices. This decision is seen as a victory for free expression and electoral fairness. The ruling could have significant implications for future election campaigns in Ontario and beyond.

Glad to see the Supreme Court standing up for free speech! The government has no business limiting political expression just to protect itself from criticism.
