When you said ‘….London…’ I had to do a double take when the rest continued with Ontario, Canada because I thought you were talking about the one in the UK. Apparently the UK is planning to crack down on ‘Hate’ crimes with all the force they can muster, except that ‘hate’ is only defined in the ‘eye of the beholder’. In other words, if I perceive that you are talking $hit about me, I can then brand that as ‘hate’ and file a grievance. You are then guilty until proven innocent. How’s that for silencing free speech!

I get the distinct feeling that Edmonton is going the same route and I fear that many of the major centres may do the same thing. Virtue signaling seems to be in vogue these days.

I applaud you for standing up and against such lunacy in government. I fear though that you might just be a lone voice in an empty room.
