With Slow Measured Steps...

We will take back our freedom of speech! Have you ever stopped and thought before you said "Merry Christmas" to someone? Saying "Merry Christmas" used to be an automatic response in this country, it isn't anymore. There is nothing hateful about saying "Merry Christmas" but now you might "offend" someone, and the way the HRC's are going, soon you could be hauled before them for just that reason, saying "Merry Christmas".

Ann Coulter, just by her trip to Canada, might actually do more to wake Canadians up about our erosion of free speech, than anyone, even Mark Steyn. She wasn't even in the country yet when she ran up against our lefty culture at universities in this country. When the students at UofOttawa managed to shut down her speech, they clearly showed how badly our country has gone off the rails regarding free speech. They shone a light on their own hateful attitudes, not just to Canadians, it made the news internationally. It also gave the Conservatives the perfect opening to start the freedom of speech issue, and they have started the ball rolling, in the most interesting of ways, in the Senate!

The senate, filled with old political appointed hacks.... some still left over from the Trudeau days, linger in the halls, like ghosts of an era gone by. Today, some of the new blood that has been injected into the senate, stood up and started the debate on free speech, and wonderful speeches they were!

I notice that Ezra has posted about this issue, so I will refer you to his post for all the relevant coverage. He is the expert in this issue, as he has had to suffer through 900 days of HRC rage and it's still not over for him.

This is a great start, and I think we have to thank Ezra, Coulter and Steyn for getting the ball rolling. I have already emailed Premier Ed about the AHRC's but so far, nothing is being done. It will be an election issue for me, my vote goes to the party that will shut them down.
