Mark Steyn: “If the alternative is surrendering our liberty over death threats, to hell with that!”
Gates of Vienna ^ | 4 Jun, 2019 | Baron Bodissey

This morning Mark Steyn testified as a witness at a hearing on “online hate” held in the Canadian House of Commons by the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights. As you might expect, the occasion was one in which sanctimonious progressive pols hectored, badgered, bullied, and otherwise coerced witnesses to fall in line with Party doctrine on immigration, Multiculturalism, Islam, etc.

Mr. Steyn, however, refused to be bullied. He repaid his tormentors in kind, and threw in extra invective just for them.

He was superb. The next time I run into him I’ll say, “Steyn, you magnificent bastard! I heard your testimony.” No video was allowed at the committee hearing (see Vlad Tepes’ post below for more on that), so the video below is audio-only, to which photographs have been added. Before you watch it, a word on the cast of characters: Besides the witnesses, committee members are present in the hearing room. However, since I can’t see their faces, I can’t identify any of them. I assume the committee chair, Anthony Housefather, is one of those asking the questions.

Below is a list of committee members, taken from Wikipedia:

With a group that says wrong is right and right is wrong, what is the “Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights”?

I wonder if Hoosier voters will chant “Build that wall!” in the next Indiana governor’s race:)

The tentacles of thought control have their hooks everywhere these day. It’s kinda like ‘ the Invisible Spirit’ vs. ‘ the A.I hive mind’

The choice is ours..

These people questioning Mark Steyn are scum.
Complete wastes of O2 that some useful single celled organism could be using.
