An NDP dilemma

By Ezra Levant on February 11, 2008 1:32 AM | | |

NDP MP Wayne Marston supports section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, the provision that is being used to enforce "thought crime" charges against Maclean's magazine and Mark Steyn. Marston said that removing that thought crime provision would "gut" human rights in Canada.

But now Noam Chomsky himself -- excuse me, Himself -- has denounced section 13:

There should be a very heavy burden of proof on any effort to restrict freedom of speech. I strongly oppose the measures you describe. I do not think the burden of proof is even approached, let alone met.

Chomsky is to the hard left what Milton Friedman was to the right: as close to a political prophet as they get.

What will the NDP do?
