Free Speech Battle in Canada College

[Never3ndr]

Just heard about this from this Rubin Report:



Wilfrid Laurier University grad student attempted to be censured by the governing administration at the university due to exposing her students to ideas that go against what that administration believes (the debate around pronoun usage). Remember that in Canada, there are actual laws against incorrect pronoun usage. Anybody who believes in freedom of speech and academic curiosity should send their support!

Unrepentant fags are destined for hell.

I can't preach THAT in Canada. There is no free speech in Canada.

 

[JakeStarkey]

Does Canadian law intrude in a private university's curriculum?

 

[JakeStarkey]

Unrepentant fags are destined for hell.

I can't preach THAT in Canada. There is no free speech in Canada.

Can you preach that from the pulpit in religious services?

Let's just not pretend that Regressives actually believe in freedom of expression.

For them, there's always an excuse to shut it down, always a reason to spin and deflect, always an excuse to change the subject, if they don't like your words.

They are illiberal Leftist authoritarians.

REAL liberals DEMAND freedom of expression.

Rubin, by the way, is a long-time liberal (and married gay man) who is horrified by what the Regressives have done to the Left here.

More than anyone else, he has pushed the term "Regressive Left", a phrase coined by ANOTHER horrified liberal, Maajid Nawaz.

As you might imagine, these two guys have been taking a LOT of heat for this.

Yes what Canada needs is a lecture from the backwoods hillbillies in the US where you can find 'universities' that teach evolution is myth and magic is how things really get done.

You laughable fuck, the US has the best University system on the planet, Bill C16 in Canada is fascist legislation which not only limits what you can say but actively forces what people must say under criminal penalty. If you agree with that you are a fascist, end of.

Ah yes, you've never been to the not-so-deep-South. Jesus rides dinosaurs down there! Go have yourself a ride.

And right on cue, the conversation has been diverted away from its point.

See post 5. Did I call it, or did I call it?
