Canada Gives Leftist Hate-speech Bullies Taste of Own Medicine

According to a report which has been disputed the Canadian Government intends to use hate crime laws against advocates of boycotting Israel. (Whether or not this particular report is true Prime Minister Stephen Harpers entire record puts most world leaders to shame especially President Obama.)

         If freedom of expression were truly a Canadian value the Harper administration would not be seeking to systemically dismantle the BDS movement.

        Justin Trudeau the leader of Canadas unofficial opposition Liberal Party has also come out against BDS. Trudeau said in a tweet shared prior to a democratic BDS vote at McGill University that The BDS movement like Israeli Apartheid Week has no place on Canadian campuses."

          The government opposes BDS because it allegedly undermines Israels right to exist as a Jewish state" according to Harper who believes this right is absolute and non-negotiable." Regardless of the reasoning the crackdown on BDS makes it clear that Harpers forceful calls for freedom of speech and expression since the Jan. 7 attack at the Paris offices of the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo are hypocritical. If freedom of expression was truly a Canadian value as Harper claims his administration would not be seeking to systemically dismantle the BDS movement.
