Meanwhile, in Canada...

Over at Law Professor Ann Althouse's blog, we have this post.  "Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant testify about the completely out-of-control pursuit of hate speech in Canada."

A Mark Steyn quote:

As Canadians have discovered, liberty is lost very quietly and quickly. And trying to get it back is slow and painful — particularly at a time when artists, universities, publishers, and others who congratulate themselves incessantly on their truth-telling courage find increasingly pre-emptive self-censorship the better part of valor.

Down in the comments section I found this from a Mr John Lynch:

I think the root problem is the gradual redefinition of rights from things government can't do to you over to things government must do for you.

John Lynch has a shack there.  Right on target.
