And from the Globe...

Dr. Martin's motion is timely, even if it won't come to a vote in the foreseeable future. It arrives amid the gross overreaching of human-rights commissions in hearing two high-profile cases involving journalists Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant, both of which are best viewed as nuisance complaints. But even those whose views are indisputably, irredeemably offensive - the white supremacists who have praised Dr. Martin's motion, or anti-Semitic former aboriginal leader David Ahenakew - should not be muzzled by well-meaning government agencies.

:::

Liberal Leader Stephane Dion has asked Dr. Martin to voluntarily withdraw it. He should do no such thing. Even if his motion is doomed, it is encouraging to see at least one of this country's elected representatives stand up for a key tenet of democracy.
