Free Dominion is cranking up a petition to the politicians in support of free speech, decrying the human rights commissions’ role in censorship:
We consider many complaints launched through so-called "human rights commissions" to be political tools to shut down dissent and uphold politicallyAnd, calling for their suspension:
correct thought and opinion. In particular, we note the inordinate number of
successful cases brought against conservatives and, in particular, Christians.
Therefore, we, the undersigned, call for the immediate suspension of all so-called human rights commissions in Canada until a full and impartial review is conducted to ensure that Canadians' fundamental right to freedom of speech is preserved.Update (Dec 12): Here's Mark Steyn's take to date.

I support this... even though they threw me out of that site because they didn't like what I said. In fact a lot of people around here don't like what I say. But freedom of speech is the only real right we have. It is a result of freedom of thought and freedom of thought is freedom for the soul. What else is there? (real conservative)
Got bounced myself. Same reason. Was very weird.
