Free and safe discourse about key political issues, like immigration, faces serious challenges today, not just in America, but in Canada as well.
Recently, at a sold-out event outside Toronto hosted by U.S. commentator Dave Rubin and leader of the anti-globalist People’s Party of Canada (PPC), Maxime Bernier, dozens of “anti-fascist” protestors (yes, they’re big in Canada too) tried to shut down proceedings by intimidating and shoving attendees and subjecting them to screaming chants of “Nazi scum, off our streets!” They call the PPC names like “Nazi” because it’s the only party in Canada concerned about the effects of multiculturalism and Canada’s record-high immigration levels.
In a now-viral video filmed outside the venue, mask-wearing thugs can be seen shouting in the face of an old lady with a walker and blocking her pathway to the entrance doors.
Despite the video gaining national news coverage in Canada (including big coverage in the United States), no elected politician outside the PPC has condemned the attacks. Instead, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has condemned threats made against the old lady’s harasser; a wealthy, young immigrant from Syria named Alaa Alsoufi whose family temporarily closed their restaurant in downtown Toronto, apparently in response to the threats after his name was revealed. Shockingly, both the leader of the conservative opposition party and establishment conservatives in the media have followed suit. A nation certainly is in a rotten state when its elite go out of their way to take the side of a grandma-bashing, Stalinist thug.
One irony apparently lost on the antifa organizers was that the topic for the PPC event was slated to be the state of free speech in Canada.

This leftist rot is trying to force a confrontation so they can tar freedom lovers as violent. I don’t see a good response so eventually they will get what they want.
Soros at work.
Canada, under MARXIST-lite Trudeau junior, is England in miniature, afraid of the violent Left and militant Moslems.
There is no American style conservatism in Canada.
Totally correct. I would say it real conservatism is abot 15% of the population. The leading conservative party is center-left.
