As you know, what Siddiqui reall...Well said Gerry.<br /><br />As you know, what Siddiqui really means is that American Style free speech allows for people to be offended. It even allows for some hateful things to be said. All of which is very subjective and open to interpretation but nevertheless us more refined Canadians have pledged to only sing Kumbayah whenever conflict arises amongst our proud multicultis. Liberals like Siddiqui are brilliant at being honest brokers, on all sides of the issue, never taking a stand, never offending. Such a sterile environment causes adaptation processes to lose their immunity, which is why Liberals have all but disappeared and now we have the NDP standing on the left, Conservatives standing on the right and Liberals lying in an iron lung barely breathing.<br /><br />Ironically Siddiqui is all for defending diversity. But he doesn’t want us to have diversity of thought; only diversity of colour and language and culture. Although one would think that culture involved thought; ergo, that’s where it gets murky. So that’s why we need brilliant little Orwellian thought police enforcing 13.1 . <br /><br />nomdeblogAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
