Goodness, Canada really is done for – the very last ounce of Vimy Ridge has been squeezed out of it:
A couple of days ago, I mentioned François Houle, the leftist apparatchik and provost of the University of Ottawa who threatened Ann Coulter with criminal prosecution before she’d even set foot on Canadian soil.
M. Houle warned Miss Coulter not to “promote hatred”. As this young lady points out in her report from the university, the only hate-promoter here is the buffoon Houle, whose barely veiled threats led to a gang of menacing Houligans (le mot juste) getting the event closed down. Alliances between the state’s ideological commissars and street mobs are a familiar feature of certain kinds of societies, and I suppose Canada will soon get used to its membership of this unlovely club. Ann Coulter says of her experience in the Great White North:
This has never, ever, ever happened before — even at the stupidest American university… Since I’ve arrived in Canada, I’ve been denounced on the floor of Parliament — which, by the way, is on my bucket list — my posters have been banned, I’ve been accused of committing a crime in a speech that I have not yet given, I was banned by the student council. So welcome to Canada!
In one of the oldest settled democracies on the planet, freedom of speech flickers very dimly…
The article goes on to quote a Canadian feminist to the effect that Canadians don’t think freedom is important – much more important is group conformity and permanent terror of falling in to Thought Crime. Sure, I paraphrased her – but that is what she said, when you get down to it.
Point blank, there is no freedom in Canada. What you can say and think is determined by narrow minded, leftist bigots. You can’t be partially free – you either are, or you aren’t. Right now, Canada isn’t.
