Let's be real though as funny as that would be, most leftists and even normies deep down are full of shit when it comes to free speech. That's how Qu'ran book burning bans and tearing down statues are even a thing. If western countries had any actual spine.
This is what I have to keep explaining to people who are lucky enough to not have to live with the fucks day by day. These people are only ever going to care about the state of society when it effects their bank accounts, netflix and their pizza deliveries. Hunkering down and keeping out of the way of everything until it starts collapsing is really all I've got when it comes to western countries that aren't getting even half-decent leaders.
It's something Count Dankula noted quite well and he found shocking, many people don't actually know what free speech means and a lot of the times especially normies end up having their limits more than they care to admit which is how this shit all happens in the first place, I hate it.
I'd wager that 95%+ of leftists actually believe Canada has free speech.
Example: the wikipedia articles on the Charter say they have so much free speech it's even more than America. Completely and purposely ignoring the very first Section that states ALL their rights (not just free speech) are subject to "reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society".
America: 'no law abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press'
Canada: 'no rights if there's a law against, but maybe if the law is ridiculous you can have your "rights" back'
Their prime directive is that laws supersede their rights unless unreasonable. They only have reasonable rights rather than inalienable ones (ie actual rights).
Everything they've ever seen said Canada has free speech and they've never even thought about it. They honestly believe they have free speech and reading that Canada doesn't is shocking to them. That's why it's effective, it's like throwing cold water on them.
Yeah, as a Canadian I'd endorse it but they've done such an effective blitz on turning freedom into a dirty word it'd be pretty much spitting in the wind at this point.
You get it, probably because you're in Canada yourself but it's really only people who have lived amongst leftists especially that truly understand how bad their mentality is. Most normies I know have a major left wing bent but they'll never admit to it and try to pretend they're apolitical, they're liars.
