In a nutshell the problem we have is that in Canada we do not have free speech. Do not for one minute think that you have the same right to free speech that our American neighbours have protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution. Oh, what is this you say? We have Freedom of Expression Guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. NO you do not and why not? Well...

Trudeau senior was very cagey when he crafted that Charter. Sure section 2(b) of the Charter says "Freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression..." but the old curmudgeon stuck in a clause that could take it away. That's right, the infamous weasel clause or section 1. Believe me the Americans never would have stood for that but we had that bamboozled right by us.  Section 1 lets the courts take your freedoms away and as long as the 9 Santa Suites in Ottawa says it is for the good of a free & democratic society "POOF" your rights disappear. Bye bye free speech.
