HATE KIND OF LEGAL IN CANADA [NOT REALLY]
One of the major cases before the Canadian “Human Rights Commissions” has concluded and awarded a win for free speech. While the outcome is gratifying the fact still remains that the Canadian government still believes it just and correct to regulate speech, which I (and many others) posit should be free and unfettered despite its message or content.
This has been one of the few “political” topics followed by vdov.net but I believe it has been an appropriate topic. For a little more background on the Canadian “Human Rights Commissions” vis a vis free speech you can see this previous article. Any debate and/or comments on the topic are always appreciated.
always nice to hear about good news, however clouded. another interesting one was oregon’s reversal on its claim that its laws are copyrighted. plenty of good reading on this all over the net … just search. freedom to tinker always has interesting things to say: here.
Freedom to Tinker is almost always superlative. However, I would be totally shamed to be from a state that tried to copyright its laws, despite backing down (finally).
oregon is neither the first nor the last, and the only state to have actually reversed their position in light of cogent argument. i am not in the least bit shamed.
You make it sound so absolutely heroic of Oregon… I like it.
not heroic, just rational
