More anti-section 13 voices in the media

So many Canadian newspapers have come out against section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act -- the censorship provision -- that it's almost impossible to keep track. But here are a few more columns:

Rory Leishman in the London Free Press lists some of the most egregious censorship cases, including those targeting Rev. Stephen Boissoin, Mark Steyn and me. And he ends thusly:

One key question remains: When, oh when, will our supposedly conservative Prime Minister Stephen Harper finally summon up the political courage to authorize the introduction of a government bill to strip the Canadian Human Rights Commission of its power to suppress the fundamental rights of Canadians to freedom of expression?

Peter Worthington's great column was published in the Northern News. And the St. Catharines Standard restates a forgotten truth:

Freedom of speech is a cherished right in our society; admittedly, sometimes exercising one's freedom of speech means somebody else will be offended.

And Toronto's Eye Weekly weighs in again on the subject, this time adding:

We’ve seen human rights investigators planting racist messages of their own online in order to find grounds to expose nutjob losers as anti-Semites so they too can be dragged before commissions.

There are more that I've missed, like the Barrie Examiner and the Oxford Review, but I really can't list them all.

It seems that our Parliamentarians are a touch distracted these days. But I'm sure this kind of unanimity hasn't gone unnoticed.
