Hurrah! Hurrah! Hurrah!

Happily Canada may be a place to flee to after all if the Nazis running the White House complete their takeover here.

The era of the state church has been replaced by an age in which the state itself is the church.

A big victory for free speech in Canada…

The Calgary Herald (via Jihad Watch) reports that the “law” that the Human Rights Tribunal tried to use against Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant has been declared unconstitutional…

As Canada moves further down the path of liberty, the US movers ever onward to becoming the USSA. As the President said, we might not get there in all at once, but in 10 or 15 years….

But free speech hurts peoples' feelings! And that's equivalent to a kind of terrorism. So, ultimately, free speech is terrorism! (Much of the EU still functions at this level.) Kudos to Levant and Steyn for crushing this creeping totalitarian idiocy! (AKA- Obama-ism.)

It is great news, I think it’s the best result that could be expected. If the matter had been dismissed outright, the “Human Rights” crowd could have slithered away and waited for the heat to die down. Instead, Marc Lemire was found “guilty” on one of the counts but the law was, essentially, declared unconstitutional. Though it’s not a real court, I couldn’t imagine another tribunal going against this finding.

This would not have happened if Steyn and Levant hadn’t held their ground. There’s a lesson in there somewhere. I got it!!! More tea parties!!!!

So now if a preacher has a sermon where he repeats G-ds call that homosexuality is a sin he won’t go to prison.

A big step, but it’s only a start. This Federal law is still on the books. Until the Canadian Parliament gets rid of it, this law is a potential problem.

Still ‘n all a wonderful thing happened today.

My French-speaking paternal great great grandparents migrated to the US from Canada, so I’ve always had a soft spot for our northern neighbors. It’s great news to learn they’ve come to their senses and chosen free speech over suppressed speech.
