Mark Steyn: ‘Death to Freedom’

March 26, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

Mark Steyn writes:

For half a decade, ever since the Canadian Islamic Congress attempted to criminalize my writing, I’ve found myself waging a grim campaign for freedom of speech in my native land. (…)

Last month, the Canadian supreme court, at a stroke, undid all the good work of the last five years, reaffirmed the state’s role in the thought-crime business, rejected truth as a defense, and took a narrow, generation-old ruling on “hate speech” and carelessly broadened it. And they did it unanimously. (…)

t’s traditional at this point for us free-speech crusaders to say how personally reprehensible we find Mr. Whatcott’s musings. But to be honest I can’t be bothered.
