Freedom of speech is being challenged in Canadian Parliament as "conservatives" are trying to pass a law which would make it a punishable crime to support, justify, or condone any terrorist attack online or in public.
What this censorship effectively means is that the motivations for terrorism are not to be discussed and certainly not supported. Many terrorist acts are justified as a retaliation to Israeli or Western aggression and this law would attempt to censor those discussions (ie Israelis killing children in Gaza, and certain nations supporting Israel, is not to be discussed or used as justification for terrorism).
Westerners are losing personal freedoms everyday and quite honestly, our list of censored topics - black on white hate crimes, Islamic terrorism, discrimination against men, the statistical extent of the Holocaust - is beginning to rival communist China.
The entire point of "Freedom of Speech" in the first place is to protect necessary dialogue into controversial topics. However as we can see thetruly controversial topics of today are absolutely censored. So there is no freedom of speech here.
