Let’s all ask Mark Steyn about Freedom of Speech in Canada. There is NO SUCH THING! You are arrested and severely fined for speaking simple truths.

“Let’s all ask Mark Steyn about Freedom of Speech in Canada. There is NO SUCH THING! You are arrested and severely fined for speaking simple truths.”

Those truths you speak of are actually anything non-Politically Correct™.

You can speak out and voice opinions against conservatives, Christians, white people, etc.
Just don’t voice opinions against minorities, gays, muslims, etc. That would be Hate Speech©.

Yes, that’s true. I personally have been victim of Canada’s predatory defamation laws. Calling someone an “idiot” can effectively get you sued.

As for the human rights commissions our own Supreme Court just said they are a reasonable limit on free speech.

I still say what I want, but yes, you can get in big trouble in a kangaroo court that you’re guilty til proven innocent in. Of course you’re never actually found innocent.

The healthcare here blows, as does gun laws. We’re also severely taxed to death.

The person writing this article is on glue or worse.
