Just a year ago, Tony Clement of the Conservatives introduced a motion in Parliament. It read:

"That, given Canada and Israel share a long history of friendship as well as economic and diplomatic relations, the House reject the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, which promotes the demonization and delegitimization of the State of Israel, and call upon the government to condemn any and all attempts by Canadian organizations, groups or individuals to promote the BDS movement, both here at home and abroad."

That motion was passed in the House with the Conservatives voting for it 100%, and relatively few nays overall. Note the clear and unambiguous language. The motion calls on the government to actively CONDEMN any group or individual who promotes the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Yet those who are up in arms about free speech today let that motion pass without saying a word.
