Time Immortal

This time from Clifford D. May, opinion columnist for the Minneapolis newspaper, the Star Tribune:

The assault on free speech has gone global

…On campuses and within Western governments it is increasingly taboo to label terrorists who slaughter in the name of Islam “Islamist terrorists.” In Canada, “human rights commissions” attempt to enforce this taboo by putting such writers as Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant on trial for the “crime” of expressing opinions that offend Islamic grievance groups — and also for quoting Islamists accurately and thereby casting them in an unfavorable light. If that’s not Orwellian, what is?

Be sure to thank your local HRC, O Reader, the next time you have the chance. Thank them for making Canada into an international pariah which people believe has done away with that bedrock principle of free society: freedom of speech.

Update: Welcome, Steynians!
