Canada is continuing along its path to Orwellian "Truth". This week, the government's "official censor tries to censor TV debate about censorship." Ezra Klein recounts his first-hand experience:
This evening, Jennifer Lynch, the chief commissar of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, tried to have CTV Newsnet kick me off their interview program Power Play, hosted by Tom Clark.
To their great credit, CTV refused to be bullied -- and it was Lynch who wound up off the show.
Canada has never fully embraced our commitment to free speech, but the government's efforts to censor critics and prosecute dissent a hate crimes has picked up recently. It's nice to see Canadian citizens pushing back.
Honestly, how can they ignore the First Amendment like this? It's like they're a whole 'nother country up there.
