Comment on Canada's extremist attack on free speech

Comments

The person who wrote this article has been on a Twitter tear for months about how the police (and not the campus police) need to shut down campus Palestinian protests. The chutzpah to turn around and bash Canada's government for outlawing hate speech. He's been advocating the police shut down campus Palestinian demonstrations for months!

Free speech for me but not for thee.

These are not necessarily equivalents though. Without knowing the author or the tweets in question, there are a lot of aspects about the campus protests that go beyond free speech into actual disruption and criminal activity and public safety.

Which is a much different topic than charging people with crimes outside of the justice system.
