A little Q and A.

Q. What is “hate speech”?
A. It’s whatever liberals say it is.

Q. How can I protect myself from hate speech accusations?
A. Do not say anything that might possibly offend a liberal.

Q. But isn’t free speech a fundamental right of all people?
A. Wake up, pal. Free speech is only for liberals.

When you don’t have freedom of speech then all your freedoms are illusory.

Well said...

Completely lost on the anti fascist, anti free speech crowd.

If they ever win, they will be the first to be lined up on the wall and shot...

They have that in common with Saudi Arabia. If the left weren’t really totalitarian fascists, we could trade our left for Canada’s conservatives and everyone would be happy. But the left would never go for that, they want everyone to live under the oppression.

And notice how selective it is. They’ll never bother a muslim preaching that homos should be killed.

So, will South Park's warped portrayal of Canadians be considered hate speech next?

His error was in taking anything across an international border that could be stolen or used against him. The Internet is international, so he could encrypt and post anything he wanted for retrieval once he was in country.

This type of nonsense is so bad that many businesses provide “shell” laptops on site when visitors arrive. They are then given a clean memory stick, a clean OS stick, and a hard drive stick filled with data they securely received and loaded onto the hard drive for them.

This prevents all sorts of government espionage and duplicity.

Canada is committing cultural suicide just like Western Europe.

Submitting to Islam.

How did they know what he had on his iPad?


Probably checked it at the border. He may well be on a list of “anti-muslim” activists.

At the border, you have no rights.

A Canadian border agent demanded the password to my computer when I was there 8 years ago.

Give it to them or be arrested.

They suspected me of being a U.S. Military spy, I think.

I was taking lots of pictures.

Never heard of Wild Bill before but he sounds like your average FReeper.

Here's a sample...

At least he wasn’t caught trying to smuggle out a stolen propaganda poster.

The Canadian speech tyrants should be remembered for this crime against freedom. Never forget this act of tyranny. Post your comments at a Canadian newspaper.

"How did they know what he had on his iPad?"

I do not think they did, per se. In reading the article, the arrest seems to have been for a protest without a permit after having been denied to speak at an event based on his prior public statements. The overriding issue is still free speech, or the lack of it in The Great White North. Ask the publishers of Free Dominion.

Moslems are handled with kid gloves by the Canadians. They even allow the peace loving Moslems to come over here and “randomly” attack our police. But let an American speak at an informative pro Western Civilization event, that by definition supports gaydom, abortiondom, etc. and he gets arrested! Knock Canada off the travel list. Sheesh!
