Canada is no longer an Anglo-Saxon nation. Gone is the robust belief
held by our ancestors for 800 years that the citizen is sovereign, that
he is free to do as he wishes unless the state can show unambiguously
that there is an overriding need to limit his liberty temporarily. It
has been replaced by the continental notion that nothing is allowed
unless it is expressly permitted by the state. The belief that the
citizen owes the government an explanation of his actions, not the
other way around, has gripped our politicians, bureaucrats, judges and
professors.Ironically, human rights commissions are the best examples of just how many rights we have lost.

This country, and this world, need more Ezra Levants, people who are not afraid to speak out when they see something wrong and who are prepared to fight dragons to make changes.  Thanks JayDon for posting this piece.

JayDon, I think your story has potential but needs some improvement. This could be an interesting and newsworthy story but you don't provide any content. A lone link isn't sufficient. For some tips check out the newsroom
