“They have not taken on the issue of free speech, even when there are human rights courts fining people… and Universities regularly trying to intimidate and silence non-far-left voices. They didn’t support free speech, just so the Liberals won’t accuse them of supporting hate speech… The Canadian Conservative Party is afraid of being called racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, transphobic… (and) all the other phobias and isms that the far-left invented within the last 5 years.” (Emphasis added) – Siavash Safavi, “Unpopular opinion: How Bernier’s decision could save conservativism in Canada” – The Post Millenial, August 24th, 2018.

“She (The president of Wilfrid Laurier University) built a Giza-sized pyramid of clichés and virtue-speak about something she was pleased to call ‘better speech’ – as opposed to that decayed old concept, hustled by the likes of John Stuart Mill, Voltaire, and the framers of the American Constitution, known as ‘free speech’… It’s only when progressives lose control of an issue that they agree to even have it discussed. This is then called a conversation… ‘We need to have a conversation’ is the white flag of the politically correct brigade.” – Rex Murphy, “Laurier, trading ‘free speech’ for ‘better speech,’ proves unspeakably clueless still” – National Post, August 3rd, 2018.

For example, prosecuting counsel thought nothing of quoting a senior judge that freedom of expression had to be compatible with the ‘standards of a just and fair multiracial society’.” – Robert Hendersom, quoted in “British White nationalist leader Jez Turner jailed for criticizing Jewish power” – Canadian Assoc. for Free Expression, May 15th, 2018.

“The earlier section of the Met’s hate crime definition might also seem alarming, insisting that people only need to ‘believe’ a crime is motivated by hate for it to be recorded as such; however, this is a common definition used by police tracing back to recommendations of the 1999 MacPherson inquiry… The Crown Prosecution Service confirmed last year that a ‘hate incident’ only needs to be ‘perceived’ with ‘no evidence needed’, and many UK forces include ‘dislike’ and ‘unfriendliness’ as evidence of a hate crime…” – Liam Deacon, “London police edit ‘thought crime’ threat after ridicule online” – Breitbart, March 20th, 2018.
