No democracy without free expression

Thursday, February 12th, 2009

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 Orwell, [...]

Barbara Hall has higher priorities than human rights

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

In his testimony to the Ontario parliament on Monday afternoon, Mark Steyn accused the province’s Human Rights Tribunal of ignoring honour killings.  When Toronto Sun columnist Christina Blizzard asked Barbara Hall, Chief Commissioner of the Ontario Human Rights Commission (OHRC), to comment about that, she received a troubling response.

Professor John Miller has an air-tight defence against the copy of Ayatollah Khomeini’s “Blue Book” that Mark Steyn promised to send him.  Whatever it says, he won’t believe it.
The Blue Book “is a collection of quotes purportedly from him, but without any documentation”.

[N]o one has verified that the Ayatollah ever said: “A man who has [...]

Mark Steyn lays it out for John Miller

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Ryerson University journalism professor John Miller has crossed a line, and Mark Steyn has had enough.
At a recent Halifax Free Speech debate, Prof Miller said that he was unable to locate the source of a quotation from Ayatollah Khomeini that Mr Steyn had cited in a column. The only place Miller mentioned searching for [...]
