Mark Mercer has alerted me to “an ugly article/interview” in the new issue of The Journal, student newspaper at Saint Mary’s University. Holly Taylor offers a breathless defence of the small group of anti-free speech hooligans who shouted down pro-life speaker Jojo Ruba last month.

The presentation continued at a [...]
Free speech champions Harvey Silverglate and Robert Freedman are seeking election to Harvard University’s Board of Overseers.

You can tell that Edward Keenan is a leftist because he lists Noam Chomsky as a “great thinker”, but he nevertheless agrees with Mark Steyn that the right of free speech is essential for democracy. [T]he point of Steyn’s testimony to the hearing — echoing the sentiments of great thinkers throughout history including Voltaire, George [...]
The Halifax Chronicle-Herald interviews Saint Mary’s University philosophy professor Mark Mercer about last week’s disruption of a pro-life presentation. In Dr Mercer’s view, the shouters who prevented Jojo Ruba from speaking should have been removed from the hall. “I don’t want to defend what he said as non-hate speech because I think that’s irrelevant,” Mark [...]
In his testimony to the Ontario parliament on Monday afternoon, Mark Steyn accused the province’s Human Rights Tribunal of ignoring honour killings.

It was her response to Steyn’s [...]

Chutzpah on stilts: A bunch of anti-free speech fascists shouted down pro-life speaker Jojo Ruba at Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, last Thursday evening and the chairwoman of a university board is so offended that she threatens to lodge a human rights complaint—against one of the speaker’s sponsors! Lesley-Anne Steeleworthy, who is chairwoman of the board [...]
Another outrageous act of official discrimination against Christians in the United Kingdom.
