PING!
There's a difference between "charged" and "sued" - which is it?
Isn't Ezra Levant a lawyer?
When you adopt strong hate speech laws like Canada has, you pretty much flush freedom of the press down the toilet.
All I wanted to know about muslims I LEARNED ON 9/11.
Didn't Alanis Morrisette put on a big show about how Canadians were "more free" to express themselves that us stupid yokels down here in the US?
Guess that only applies to perversions and such.
I will gladly offer a donation of $2,500 for your noble efforts, but under one condition: Shut down your Canadian operations and move your operations to Montana or Idaho.
Sincerely,

Freedom of Speech BUMP!
What did he expect, living in a fascist country?
Was a lawsuit ever filed over the 'capitalist pig' cartoon at the Univ of Sask? (I think that was the school)
It is 'tolerant' and perfectly acceptable to attack Christianity though.
Doesn't the Charter of Rights have an "out clause" buried in it somewhere that pretty much allows the government to render every right invalid whenever they feel the need?
<< ... when [we] ... were "labouring to create" such "commissions," we never imagined [their employment by the state] ... against freedom of speech," wrote ... the Canadian "Civil 'Liberties'" Association. Censorship was "hardly the role we had envisioned for human rights' commissions ..." >>
Bloody fasciSSocialists lurking about their lairs dreaming up schemes of bastardry to leverage into unearned lusted after power uber alles, never heard of an unintended consequence they couldn't rationalize and/or justify and/or refuse responsibility for.
Liberalism is a deadly dangerous psychosis and a liberal one who would neither afford himself the dignity of taking responsibility for the consequences of his own actions nor take up arms in his own defense. (BA with thanks to Anon)
