He writes, with all the blithe ignorance of Trudeaupia’s child, that “Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms protects virtually all manner of opinion and expression, and has been doing so for more than a quarter century.”

Actually, it does no such thing – and Canadians enjoyed greater freedom of expression before the passage of Trudeau’s “charter”, which is a fancy term for “worthless piece of garbage”.

As to the protections it affords, perhaps the complacent Mr Hopper should ask Toronto leftie Alex Hundert, who languishes in jail because he refuses to accept a bail condition requiring him to refrain from “expressing political views in public”. I wouldn’t accept it, either.
