A leftist thinks free speech is something that is paid for out of government taxes.

If you google a chap called Doug Christie, he is a Canadian freedom of speech lawyer. His monthly newsletter is always an interesting read. I will try to find a link.
ReplyDeleteFrom Mark Steyn -
ReplyDeleteSusan Cole, Canadian “feminist,” defending the mob on Fox News:
[Cole]
We don’t have that same political culture here in (Canada). . . .
We don’t have a 1st Amendment, we don’t have a religion of free speech. . . .
[Cole]
Students sign off on all kinds of agreements as to how they’ll behave on campus, in order to respect diversity, equity, all of the values that Canadians really care about. Those are the things that drive our political culture. Not freedoms, not rugged individualism, not free speech. It’s different, and for us, it works.
[Steyn]
Translated from the original Canadian, “diversity” means “state-mandated mob-enforced conformity.” As for whether “it works” for Canadians, ask Guy Earle. On Monday Mr. Earle, a stand-up comedian of conventionally Trudeaupian views, goes on trial at the British Columbia “Human Rights” Tribunal for putting down two hecklers at his nightclub act. They were, alas for him, of the lesbian persuasion, and so he is now charged with “homophobia.” What a wretched embarrassment to a once free society.
"What a wretched embarrassment to a once free society."
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. And how long before we in NZ reach that stage?
(thanks for the link Zen)
Fletch, that's a disturbing read.
ReplyDeleteThat's all I can say for now.....
