Ontario govt to tax protesters: freedom of speech, assembly a ‘privilege’ not a right

Canadian soldier serving in Af’stan reacts:

One can only thank the likes of blogger’s like BCF and his wife [me], for whom many in my battalion read on on a regular basis. (…)

One can not even imagine the sheer delight, as I try in many ways to convey to my troops that free speech and the right to assemble are a privilege.

I think perhaps, Ms. Jodoin requires a platoon of Canadian soldiers at her next lawfull demonstration and perhaps you would consider explaining to us in person, how such privileges became privileges.
