At a Journalists for Human Rights event in Toronto on October 16, 2026, author Margaret Atwood reiterated her support for due process in the case of Steven Galloway, who is currently undergoing a defamation trial in Vancouver. Speaking while receiving an award, Atwood criticized media coverage of the incident that led to Galloway's firing from the University of British Columbia (UBC) eight years prior. She called on journalists to "search deep within your hearts" regarding their adherence to Article 10 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which guarantees a fair trial. Atwood also humorously noted her own stability in the face of criticism compared to Galloway's experience, saying, “Luckily, I couldn’t be fired from a university, blacklisted from festivals, or if I was, I’d have noticed.”
