Tim McSorley (he/him) spoke at the Labour School of the Confederation of Canadian Unions in October 2025 about the state of civil liberties in Canada. Tim spoke about some of the work the International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group has been doing recently, including challenging the so-called “Strong Borders Act” introduced by the federal government of Mark Carney, which will pose serious threats to the individual rights of all Canadians.
The Act was brought forth because of pressure from the Trump Administration, but will cost the federal government enormous sums of money that could be spent elsewhere on important services for Canadians.
McSorley joined the ICLMG as the coalition’s National Coordinator in November 2016. Combining his passion for civil liberties and social justice with his background in journalism, policy analysis and communications, Tim digs into the impact of government policies and works with allies and partners to fight for change.
