I think this is good news.
However, I find many on both sides of the political divide would censor free speech. And are total hyprocrites about it.
‘Conservatives’ would prevent George Galloway from presenting his mid-east viewpoint on grounds of ‘national security’ just as easily as ‘Liberals’ would prevent a debate on immigration, or gay rights on the grounds of ‘racism’ or ‘homophobia’.
It’s easy to support free speech, when you agree with the content. It’s genuine when you support the right of those whose content you don’t agree with.
Cross-posted at Blazing Cat Fur (http://blazingcatfur.blogspot.com/): Ezra Levant’s Night Raid on Occupy Toronto [at 4:00 a.m.] where he found, lo and behold, that 90% of the tents were completely empty! He also found four or five threatening tent city “guards” who stole his glasses, told him he was an a**hole, and ordered him to leave the park. Aren’t these the anarchists (and paid union thugs) who say they don’t believe in private property?
UN. BLOODY. BEE. LEEVABLE.
The “don’t touch me! don’t touch me!” tactic, when the person yelling is doing the touching, is a trick of the worst miscreants in our schools. The school admin., like the Toronto cops, won’t touch the rotters with a ten-foot pole.
Boy, are our forebears who made Canada the best and most free democracy in the world by establishing and enforcing law and order, ever rolling over in their graves. It’s an absolute disgrace that Toronto’s so-called “Finest” — how about Toronto’s Failures? — won’t enforce the law in the middle of our city, where depraved union puppets are holding the rest of us hostage.
I’m disgusted. The union thugs — all five of them — are running the show right now, and why do we let them? Why should the kids that yell and scream and have the loudest tantrums win the day?
Ezra called Bill Blair, the police, and Canadian mayors of occupied cities cowards and that’s what they are. The minute legitimate authority abdicates its responsibility to enforce the rules, mayhem and chaos ensue — in families, in schools, in communities. Who said that all it takes for evil to triumph is for good people to do and say nothing? That’s what’s happening here [in Toronto] — and when the “good” people step aside to let the rabble storm the walls and plunder the city, we’re done.
What. Are. We. Thinking?

There’s a great interview on this site that Tavis Smiley does (on PBS) with Emilio Estevez and Martin Sheen, his dad, for whom he wrote the film The Way.
‘Saw the movie last night. I plan to see it again.
Jamie,
YOu could be right, but most folks don’t even have a clue as to the rights that the currently have. Pols don’t want you to know. It is a start, but yes PET was a deliberate dink when he forgot to add those in.
Rob Ford was elected to ‘Stop the Gravy Train’. The squatters are the frontmen for powerful interests. Those who want to keep the gravy train running are sponsoring the useless idiots aka OWS so that Mayor Ford loses his focus and it is business as usual for the backend powers.
“…PET was a deliberate dink when he forgot to add those (Property Rights) in.

It is a Liberal story (perhaps myth) that Trudeau wanted to include Property Rights in The Charter, but the provinces strenuously objected.
In any event, if Trudeau was a dink for excluding it, Harper certainly has the chance to remedy things…and will be just as big a dink if he does not.
