Ad hominem attacks are supposed to be frowned upon and discouraged on this site.

Comments like this one (”Canada has a free press?”) are not directed at any individual, but as part of an overall offensive of rude, antisocial commentary I think is far beneath the dignity and regular discourse of this site.

A friendly reminder that there are many Canadian FReepers, and we probably DO “get it” better than most Yanks do due to our LIVING the socialist nightmare might be in order.

Canada in NOT the enemy. Substitute “Jew(ish)”or “black” for the adjective in ANY anti-Canada post, and kindly tell me if there is no reason for offense. Matter of fact, we’re probably the best friend America has. We even share a common mother country! That mother country is ALSO aiding in the WOT.

I am so sorry, my juvenile humor ought to be frowned upon and discouraged.

LOL... censoring free speech? How... um.... North of the border of you.

He was joking around and I think the comment was more directed at some of the Chretien era government stuff and the general views of liberal Torontonians. There are many great conservatives there and it would be a booming and wonderful country to live in if it would adopt some conservative policy. The new government there is taking important steps with the exception of the crime bill. Prison isn't a deterrent. It usually makes criminals more violent. Keeping them at home and sending them out to do menial labor during the day, for long ours, achieves fast results and less recidivism.
