Free speech is different here in Canada. It is seen as highly dangerous. That is why our government has denied entry to such characters as George Galloway (Hamas lover) and Bobby Seale (former Black Panther). A federal MP even tried to ban the rapper 50 Cent (corrupter of youth). Students have shut down Benjamin Netanyahu (the current Prime Minister of Israel), and professors have turned their backs on Margaret Somerville (pro-life), who was advised to wear flat shoes in case she had to run for it.

ReplyDeleteWhat fascinates me most about the 'she who's name I will not mention' visit to Canada is that the entire thing was a manufactured farce and our MSM refuses to punch holes in it (or fell for it hook/line/sinker).
The UWO event was first because it would have been the smallest.
The U of O event was cancelled by her security team. Not the police. Not the University. Not the students.
The Calgary event was a 'coming home' for a much-loved, bigoted homophobe and we didn't even hear coverage of it. It was, ultimately, a non-event.
Well done and well executed to draw attention to the 'tea baggers' and anti Human Rights Commission thugs in this country!
I'll let anyone take the stage, but when they spew bigoted vitriol, I'll stand with the crowd that says enough is enough.
This has NOTHING to do with free speech. It has everything to do with RESPECT.
