It's not a view. It's written into our Charter of Rights and Freedoms, and empowered by our constitution.

freedom of speech is not an exclusively legal term

Both the article in the OP, and the comment you're responding to are using it in the legal sense.

unless i am failing to understand what is being said the article is saying otherwise.

For them, free speech is freedom for them to collect a paycheque while saying the most boring, obvious, cliché, bootlicking shit they can come up with. That is free speech — the right to do these things with minimal government involvement.
