1. Free Speech in Britain and Slipping Through our Fingers are two great essays.

   “We are not lovers of liberty in any pure sense whatsoever. The Covid pandemic revealed that we are a nation of tutters, conformists, and curtain twitchers, busybodies, jobsworths and pettifoggers: every rule worshipper had entered paradise. “

   1. Interestingly in Canada a jury trial is only for charges that have a potential sentence of five years or more, in line with the new British policy. Our fascists are sneakier than their fascists.
      And that is not a complement.

2. Lewis? Another NDP wacko.

   1. When I was at university, I would take David Lewis (Avi’s Grandfather) speeches and take out “corporation” and “American” and replace those words with “capitalists”, “Jew”, “Jewish”, and “foreigner” and ask people who they thought wrote it. It was a no brainer, Hitler was the unanimous answer. Same ideology, different bogeymen.

   2. Get him in. It will split the left vote quite nicely.

3. For me, Avi Lewis is the imbecile who got owned by Ayaan Hirsi Ali on CBC in the most epic way:

   The clip also shows a classy fierce intelligent Somali-born woman, huge contrast with Ilhan Omar.

   1. Agree with you about Ayaan Hirsi.

   2. DanC:

      I believe we may have chatted about this matter before.

      INDEED. That CBC interview was exactly when I began to describe his smug visage as “Canada’s most punchable face”.

4. Avi Lewis is running for leadership in the familly business, a member of the left’s aristocracy. Avi Lewis is also an ijit.

5. Poilievre is too far right for a lot of Conservatives.
   Although he isn’t.
   Except maybe for the Media and brainless, dickless Liberal voters.
   We need a Trump!
   Except that “tolerant”Canadians would probably hang him for offending sensibilities.

   Boy, do we need the Brandenburg test (the ruling of the US Supreme Court, which interpreted the First Amendment as permitting all speech unless it is intended to and is likely to cause ‘imminent lawless action’).
   And a real Conservative Party.
   And a real Conservative Leader.
   And a real Conservative Media.
   And real CONSERVATIVE VOTERS……..who believe in crazy things like Free Speech, Gun Rights, Property Rights, Limited Government……..
   Versus the current inhabitants who seem to prefer to live on bended knee to government whilst constantly being lied to by their thoroughly corrupt owners.
   Yup. We’re doomed.

   At least the very tardy Brits are doing it right it appears.
   Completely wipe out the fake, phony Conservative Party.
   Apparently, Canadians require more Liberal fleecing.
   They’ll get it.
   Real good.

   Pick your new owner.
   USA. China. Mecca.
   It’s a very Canadian race.
   Nobody told Canadians and of course, being Canada, The Fix is in.

   1. Trump isn’t “right wing”, he is populist, with many contradictory policies on the political spectrum. Neither is Farage. But both are “anti-establishment” which is needed, and demanded by the populace, these days. I don’t expect too much from Poilievre, surrounded by too many PC types. However, hope springs eternal.

6. “Activists Attack Crown Jewels With Apple Crumble and Custard.”
   Funny that activists were able to carry food into the Jewel House. Fifty years ago, the security on duty actually took their jobs seriously. …keep moving, no stopping, no photos…

7. Avi Lewis and the NDP always appeal to young people.
   That’s why their platform is retarded.
