A Canadian political party has introduced legislation that would create anti-free-speech zones around drag shows and punish anyone caught making remarks deemed "offensive" by LGBT activists while in the vicinity.

The Ontario New Democratic Party is a radical leftist party that serves as the official opposition in the conservative-run province of Ontario. One of its parliamentary members, Kristyn Wong-Tam, chair of the city of Toronto's 2SLGBTQ+ Community Advisory Committee, held a press conference Tuesday, urging the Ontario government to spare men masquerading as women from criticism and to clamp down on free speech.

"The topic that brings us here is deadly serious," said Wong-Tam, a woman who refers to herself with plural pronouns. "The rise of hate and violence facing the 2SLGBTQI-plus communities, including the drag artists, happening across Ontario and right [across] the nation has been alarming."..........

You have no constitutionally protected free speech rights in Canada, so you're pretty much up a creek trying to stand on it.

Well, one look at El Jefe Maximo -- who's running Canada right now -- and it's apparent which way that country is going...

People assume that all Western countries have freedom of speech. They believe suppression of speech only exists in single party totalitarian states like N Korea or Cuba

One might have thought Canadians would demand freedom of speech, being so close to the USA where we presumably have that right, but apparently not.

Supposedly Canada has a right to free speech in their Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which is supposed to be analogous to the U.S. Bill of Rights; however, in practice, the government is allowed to censor a fair amount of speech.
