That's the name of this American lady's website, and I especially liked this comment:

That none of the 4 HRCs involved in the Steyn/McClean's and the Ezra Levant cases threw out the complaints with a forceful " As government entities, we have no authority to question, let alone judge, anyone in Canada for writing, publishing or refusing to publish anything ( libel, incitement, copyright infringement, and fraud excluded) " is an abomination. That so many commenters claimed Freedom of Speech should be limited to promote harmony, to prevent offense, or to prevent false ideas from spreading is frightening.

True, the US does not have any of these appalling Star Chambers . . . so far. But we will. Colleges and Universities across the country have them and the Speech Codes and Re-education Penalties that go with them.

Sad but true. I don't know which is worse - that one of the oldest constitutional democracies in the world has been reduced to the same pitiful condition as a speech-coded American college, or that in the dominant power on the face of the earth institutions which are supposed to encourage rigorous enquiry and exploration of ideas are the most repressed precincts in the country.
