‘How 9/11 killed Canadians’ appetite for human-rights speech codes’

June 28, 2013 By Kathy Shaidle

Jonathan Kay curbs his enthusiasm.

I’d love to share a paragraph with you, but as I told you before, the National Post doesn’t like bloggers “stealing” from them, even though it steals from us almost daily.

UPDATE: Scaramouche not impressed…

Kay, too, seems disinclined to want to sweat it, a function, it appears, of his post-Among the Truthers mentality. Ever since writing that book, in which he exposes “troofers” on the left but also lashes out at “extremists” on the right, one of whom is the decidedly non-extreme and perfectly sensible David Solway, Kay has been trying to position himself as a calm, cool, dispassionate centrist, and his writing has suffered as a result.
