They've asked for other men's money and goods and they've asked for control over what other men say. It seems more to the point to say to them whatever it is one says to thieves and tyrants.

This is one Canadian who does most certainly want freedom, as guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Check out Article 2:

FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS.

2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:

(a) freedom of conscience and religion;
(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
(c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
(d) freedom of association.

Is that too “American” for you?

My father served in World War II to preserve our liberty, and I’m not going to stand quietly by while a few whingeing law students undermine it.
