Mark Steyn weighs in heavily today in a piece entitled “Death to Freedom.”
For half a decade,
ever since the Canadian Islamic Congress attempted to criminalize my writing,
I've found myself waging a grim campaign for freedom of speech in my native
land. We've had some success along the way, seeing off the Islamic enforcers,
and getting a disgraceful federal law first rendered unenforceable and then
repealed by the House of Commons.
…
Last month, the
Canadian supreme court, at a stroke, undid all the good work of the last five
years, reaffirmed the state's role in the thought-crime business, rejected
truth as a defense, and took a narrow, generation-old ruling on "hate
speech" and carelessly broadened it. And they did it unanimously.
