About this episode
George Ramsay discusses his experiences with compelled speech and indoctrination at the University of Victoria.
Tonight on Hannaford, a Victoria man talks about his experience of it at the University of Victoria. George Ramsay, a recent kinesiology grad, had to endure years of ritualistic indigenous land acknowledgements and instruction that looked more like indoctrination. He had the courage to refuse to give in to what he calls ‘compelled speech.'
