Unfortunately, many Canadians seem reluctant to comprehend the consequences of this anti-freedom, anti-democratic agenda.
Freedom of speech
Speech Is Not Violence
Have you noticed how our language is changing?
At a congressional hearing on “Birthing While Black,” nearly every politician used the words “birthing people” instead of “women” or “mothers.” Asked why, Shalanda Young, President Joe Biden’s budget director, said, “Our language needs to be more inclusive.”
Activists have also changed “equality” to “equity” and “affirmative action” to “diversity.”
The Associated Press no longer uses “mistress.” It tells reporters to use “companion, friend, or lover.”
Worse, certain speech is now labeled “violence.”
Canadian universities are not safe places … for ideas
In a recent C2C Journal article, my colleague at Wilfrid Laurier University (WLU), Prof. David Millard Haskell, wrote about the widespread censorship taking place at Canadian universities. As Haskell’s article showed through empirical research and numerous examples, students and faculty who challenge progressive claims are being harassed by student mobs and punished by administrators.
Odious speech is ‘the price we pay for our freedom,’ B.C. Supreme Court says in ruling
A city violated the free expression of a church when it cancelled an event because of the participation of an anti-LGBTQ activist, according to a decision by the Supreme Court of British Columbia.
In a ruling that came down in support of free speech, Justice Maria Morellato said, “In a free and democratic society, the exchange and expression of diverse and often controversial or unpopular ideas may cause discomfort. It is, in a sense, the price we pay for our freedom.”
Pretty shocking, for Canada.
BUCKLE UP: Biden Regime Steps Up Attacks To Censor Conservative Media For “Misinformation”
The Sunday morning “news” shows that serve as delivery systems for the Biden regime’s propaganda advanced the chilling idea that dissenting viewpoints need to be censored.

‘Ridiculous and Unconstitutional’ Ruling, Woman Ordered To Remove Anti-Biden Signs

“If You Do Not Have Free Speech You Are Not Free” – Refugees from Communism Horrified at America
Today in America there is a new generation of exiles from Communist regimes fighting a new political correctness, called wokeism.
Czeslaw Milosz, before he was a Nobel laureate for Literature and author of The Captive Mind, fought two totalitarianisms in his native country, Poland: first Nazism, then Communism, which took its place. In 1945, after joining the Polish diplomatic service, Milosz was appointed cultural attaché to the embassy in New York, where he served until being recalled in 1950. In 1951, he defected to France.
Justin Trudeau isn’t the progressive leader he thinks he is
It came as no surprise to me to see activists ‘celebrating’ Canada Day by setting fire to churches and toppling statues of Queen Elizabeth and Queen Victoria, while chanting, ‘No pride in genocide.’
Canada has managed to cultivate a culture that is simultaneously self-hating and self-righteous. We have no pride in being Canadian. Yet we are confident we are better than everyone else.

Constitutional groups slam Liberal’s “despotic and totalitarian” Bill C-36
Both the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) and the Canadian Constitution Foundation (CCF) have condemned the bill as dangerous and infringing on Canadians’ rights.
Bill C-36 will lead to many “witch hunts” says MP Derek Sloan
The bill seeks to expand powers to prosecute individuals involved in “hate propaganda” or so-called “online hate” by amending the Criminal Code, the Youth Criminal Justice Act and the Canadian Human Rights Act.
That’s a feature, not a bug.

Free speech isn’t free. It comes with a price
It’s tempting to say the danger posed by anti-vaxxers would justify their views being banned. That would be wrong.
Liberal hate speech bill will put a chill on free speech
To compare much of social media to a swamp, a sewer, a cesspool or an old-fashioned outhouse is to miss the point.
There is without question an offputting stink to all those entities, enough to discourage people from hanging around any longer than essential. But mere nature lacks something at which online communications excel: the malevolence, the cruelty, the bitterness, the truthlessness and the all-encompassing anger that typifies so much of what gets channelled into cyber discourse in the guise of discussion, commentary, debate, opinion or simple free speech.
