Canadian Senate holds inquiry on freedom of speech (UPDATED)

Yesterday, Senators Duffy, Finley and others delivered stirring speeches condeming Canada’s “hate speech” laws and our out of control “Human Rights” Commissions.

Whether or not it is a coincidence that this inquiry took place right after Ann Coulter’s visit to Canada, I don’t know. I imagine it takes more than a few days to put something like this together. However, Coulter’s visit is mentioned in the speeches, and the U of O provost’s stupid letter to her was condemned, along with the behaviour of the student mobs.

BlazingCatFur has posted the speeches.

UPDATE: Mark Steyn comments at length.

And Romeo Dallaire can shut up about his own uselessness anytime now, thanks. Canada isn’t Rwanda; that is, we aren’t populated entirely by backward, low IQ tribal savages.

Yet.
