Award-winning journalist Samira Mohyeddin speaks with Ira Wells, President of PEN Canada, at PEN International’s 91st Congress. Together, they discuss the rise of book bans in Alberta, the growing pressure from parents’ rights organizations, and what these trends mean for freedom of expression and access to literature in Canada. Unbound Voices is a series of powerful conversations exploring today’s most urgent issues — from censorship and climate justice to LGBTQ+ rights, women’s voices, and Indigenous perspectives.
