For John, BLUF: The evolution of our political culture, our culture as a whole, has depended on free speech and free debate. I guess the bien-pennant think we have arrived at our destination and now is the time to shut up those who dissent. Nothing to see here; just move along.
From PJ Media! By Mr Matt Margolis, 30 November 2019.
Here is the lede:
Canadian comedian Mike Ward has lost his appeal and has been ordered by a Quebec judge to pay $35,000 because of a joke he told about a disabled boy.It would appear Mr Ward is a jerk. On the other hand, if it was the US, one would hope the First Amendment protected Mr Ward's right to be a jerk.
Does he owe the boy and his Mother an apology? Of course he does, but it is not the job of the Government to make sure it happens. It is our job, as friends and neighbors, and consumers of humor, to nudge Mr Ward. Not Force him. Boycott him. Ignore him. Pray for him. Pray with him.
But, alas, Mr Ward lives in Canada, which has no First Amendment, nor a semblance of one. Is this the result of Canada's attempts to accommodate Quebec?
