Coulda Had Max
Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has stripped MP Michael Cooper of his spot on the House of Commons justice committee as punishment for Cooper’s angry confrontation with a Muslim witness in hearings dedicated to online hate.
Earlier this week, Cooper told Faisal Khan Suri he should be “ashamed” after he drew a link between “conservative commentators” and the online history of mosque shooter Alexandre Bissonnette.
Cooper also quoted from the manifesto of the man accused of the mass killings in Christchurch, New Zealand in an attempt to discredit Suri’s testimony.

From the comments: Ironic that a committee that has in its mandate issues surrounding the protection of free speech, is deplatforming a conservative because he asked on what justification a witness before the committee could associate conservatives with the mass murder.
Scheer’s immigration speech followed the same strategy he employed in rolling back his earlier promise to balance the federal budget within two years, by pushing the timeline out to five years.

You can’t say he didn’t warn us.
@TheRealKeean – Wow. The Liberal caucus is recommending to give the Human Rights Tribunal (a kangaroo court) the extraordinary power of issuing judicially enforced cease and desist orders on Canadian speech. This is dangerous. The CHRT are politically motivated fraudsters. Insanity. #cdnpoli

“We’ve always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology”
We’ve been repeatedly told that Facebook has recently banned the “dangerous” people from their platform:
“We’ve always banned individuals or organizations that promote or engage in violence and hate, regardless of ideology. The process for evaluating potential violators is extensive and it is what led us to our decision to remove these accounts today,” Facebook said in a statement to CNN Business. They also labeled those individuals “dangerous.”
Yet Portland’s Antifa group is alive & well on Facebook even though they attacked video journalist Andy Ngo:
