  • Rex Murphy should be on the knew $20 bills!!! with the quote "If knowledge is key..... then show me the lock!!!!! BITCHES!"

    IM REX MURPHY BITCH!!!!!!! WAHAHA " I WISH I HAD 4 THUMBS,SO I COULD GIVE THOSE TORYS 4 THUMBS DOWN" i dunno one of those quotes would do

  • Does anyone else think Rex Murphy bears an uncanny resemblance to Christopher Lloyd lol

  • It would be so awesome if Rex left the CBC for Sun News Network. It would be the perfect slap in the face to the CBC... but it will never happen.

  • (cont) The governement of Canada forces companies to purchase insurance from various WCB branches accross canada for their employees. Having this WCB insurance takes away the right of the injured worker to sue his/her employer for an injury that occurs at work. This system would work in essence, however the WCB is a private insurance company and the more claims it denies the more profit it gains. Injured workers medical files are being looked into, phones tapped, video taken, without consent.

  • The Workers Compensation Boards all accross Canada are violating human rights every day. All accross Canada, injured workers are losing their children, committing suicide, dieing of their work related injuries or illnesses, because the WCB is denying serious valid claims. In Alberta the claims managers recieve bonuses for closing valid claims. In Alberta alone there was a 110% increase in apeals in 2009 while corporations recieved over 120 million in overcharges. Where are Canadas rights?

  • Rex, the Zionist Shill doing the biding of his Zionist masters. He practices double standard by defending anything Zionist and lashing out in short notice anything Anti Aprtheid Israel. What dispecable hypocrite. I don't know what the deal is that CBC allows him to push Zionist BS. His Zionits masters have to find another shill to replace him as he is getting senile.

  • This land is my kids land, and was my fathers, mothers, and grandparents land.

    Do not mistake preservationists as racist. Every immigrant taken in is a lost life to our fellow Canadians replacing our kids with immigrants, is a shame we will

    need a referendum. My grand parents did not fight in the wars to have their land,

    jobs,in, and outside of Canada taken by immigrants. over 2 million in the past ten

    years, It could be said that we killed 2 million kids before birth to have these immigran

  • @A1machining Well, thank goodness! At last we put the blame where it should be...at the feet of Canadians who have grown tired of having kids. Our birthrate is 1.6(historically insufficient to sustain a society!). So we enlist immigrants, including Muslims, to have and care for babies. Greed, materialism, consumerism all say, "We can't afford more than one or two children." We need our luxuries, & kids need their "Lear Jets". Canada is great, but just for one or two generations! Then we perish.

  • @watchful38 Is it too late to say no more? Is it too late to show what our futrue will be in fifty years? I think the chinese will leave Canada taking B.C., and our westen port, form a new country on what was one time Canadian soil, as well Quebec will leave forming a new country at the same time. This will leave us in poor shape. What do you think will happen as we give away our land piece by piece over time groups will want controll, possession, and their own government without question.

  • @A1machining You are blaming the immigrants. I won't guess what will become of Canada. But it's not the immigrants fault!!! "The fault is not in our stars, Brutus, but in ourselves." Stop blaming other people. We indigenous Canadians have "done the deed"; we have sealed our own fate, for the sake of our own selfishness. "Money, the root of all evil." Or, if you prefer, "that apple in paradise". In any event we have chosen "the apparent good". It will not be without consequences. 1.6 = 666!

  • @watchful38 The blame is tv and our idea that we need more and more things, and money. The blame

    is twice the house with half the kids. The blame is not respecting a womans roll as child care giver.

    Immigration is not good but will be our end. It is o.k. in very small controlled numbers if we mix together

    and not form groups of change. As for indigenous people, I am your guest this is still your land. at 250 000 immigants per year this is 1/5th the indigenous population.

  • @watchful38 I do think it is better to love than hate, I have lots of friends that are from all over the world here in Canada. I am blessed with their friendship. I just want Canada to stay the way it is without change.

  • Having a phobia is perfectly fine. Personally I’m afraid of all religions and how it can create narrow-minded views, and fill people with hatred.

  • bingo.

  • Writes for the National Post. He has to listen to his Zionist masters. Although hate speech laws are wrong and open to manipulation and abuse,

  • Yeah, I don't like CBC because they are racist, anti-Israel. and anti-Christian. It should be de-funded, however, I like you Rex Murphy! You are so right, not the rest of the CBC people.

  • @Luzcvier I'm using my right to free speech and saying that I disagree whole heartedly with you and love the CBC! They beat the life out of any other news network I can get on television. Only thing better online is BBC. And Rex is fabulous. ;)

  • Yeah, I don't like CBC because they are racist, anti-Israel. and anti-Christian. It should be de-funded!

  • Now wait a minute!!! is this the same good old Rex Murphy, i am in total disbelief, pinching and all. Somebody please tell me this is true.

  • Good job Rex!!!!!! <3

  • ROFL Rex is the greatest in his ability to parse through all the BS and deliver clear judgments on the most important and controversial issues. Best part of this clip was his take on the offensiveness of articles, epic response was-->So what! Not every article in every magazine or newspaper is meant to be a valentine card addressed to every reader's self-esteem!" :D Rex Murphy for Prime Minister!

  • This is awesome. Call it like you see it Rex!! Trust a Newfoundlander to see through the BS

  • @alittlebluehouse - Rex Murphy for prime minister!

  • @alittlebluehouse must be the only NFLer to stand up against hypocrisy, 'cos all NFLers are apologists and truly politically correct.

  • when will canada come to its senses and get rid of political correctenss the stifling of ideas and those wo donot espouse the socialist ideology. sorry canada but socialism and multiculturalism has failed all over the world canada is no different as we think we are

  • when will canada come to its senses and get rid of political correctenss the stifling of ideas and those wo donot espouse the socialist ideology. sorry canada but socialism and multiculturalism has failed all over the world canad is no different as we think we are

  • this guy is great!!!!!

  • lol this guy sounds sooooo canadian :P

  • Wow how did this guy get past the CBC screeners?

    He's great.

  • Dismantle the Human Rights Commissions. They serve no other purpose than to threaten Freedom of Speech.

  • I will always say it ........ A corrupt government does not want a free thinking population......... Its bad for buisness.

  • How do people manage to bring liberal views into this? This is about drawing the line between Human Rights, and Free Speech. Nowhere does this mention "liberals supporting investigation." I agree with Rex Murphy, I am personally a Liberal Party member, and a liberal thinker, but a magazine article is not a human rights abuse.

  • I have no problems with Free Speech, BUT APPLY THE LAW EQUALLY TO THOSE WHO QUESTION THE HOLOCAUST AS WELL, You prosecute Holocaust deniers, but shout "Free Speech" every time Islamophobic content is presented. APPLY YOUR STANDARDS EQUALLY!

  • @tdot22

    You're right, low life scumballs that deny the Holocaust should be heard and held up to the light so the would can see what human garbage they are.

  • @KLIPQRT yeah, and Steyn's scrreds against Muslims is a boble endeavour, go back to selling your mother, sisters and daughters to the Jews you fucking coward, unless you are a traitorous Jew that loves Israel more than the Country. You Jews destroyed the German Economy, bankrupted the Brisitsh Empire by forcing them into WWII and are in the process of bankrupting America by having the Goyim bankroll and bleed to defend Israel.

  • @tdot22

    Excellent, excellent. I was hoping for an honest response from you moslem so people could see what kind of garbage you really are.

    Thank you, for your assistance.

  • SOME JEWISH TALMUD FOR YOU!

    Schabouth Hag. 6b: Jews may swear falsely by use of subterfuge wording.

    Zohar 1,160a: Jews must always try to deceive Christians.

    Libbre David 37: To communicate anything with a Goy about our religious relations would be equal to the killing of all Jews, for if the Goyim knew what we teach about them, they would kill us openly.

    Hilkkoth Akum Z1: Do not save Goyim (Gentiles) in danger of death.

    Abodah Zara 26b: Even the best of the Gentiles should be killed.

  • @tdot22

    I'm not a Jew, moslem. I know when ever anyone criticizes a molsem so many moslems thinks that person is a Jew. Sorry do disappoint you. Anyhow, can you show me any evidence where Jews are following that verse or calling for it's implementation. If not, what is your point moslem?

  • @KLIPQRT ... I can tell you but it won't have the same impact if you find out the research for yourself:

    1.) Research the Federal Reserve System, who owns it, what it does and what it has achieved.

    2.) Research Fiat and Fractional Reserve Banking, what it is what it does and more importantly who controls the system that enables it (Federal Reserve)

    3.) Research the Media, who owns it, who runs it? what happens to actors,directors,etc. who do not tow the line,

  • @tdot22

    I don't have to research it moslem, I already know what your delusional 7th century headbanging zombie brain thinks.

    ITS THE JOOOOOOOOOOOS

    Bwhahahahahahahahahah

    What fucking loser you are. I'll bet Hitler is you hero, eh moslem?

  • @KLIPQRT

    And do you want to know why Hitler is your hero, moslem? Because Mein Kampf and your war manual the koran are the same thing.

  • Fucking preach it!

  • Comment removed

  • It's time to get rid of these "Human Right Commissions". They are no different than Joe Mccarthy's anti-communist witch hunts.

  • Rex will mouth off about almost anything including human rights except, it seems, when they concern natives. Does anyone have a video of Rex commenting on Canada's refusal to endorse the UN Declaration on Indigenous Rights? It applies to more than 300 million people worldwide. Is Rex a racist?

  • Only in "human rights" land can u be "charged"with hurt feelings in three different provinces, be nice if we could do that with rapists and murder's.

    Was there not some bragging about how much money they cost the magazine?

    It's not complicated at all. The details are not complicated - people getting offended by an article in a magazine.

  • Didn't it come out it kanagroo court that Khurrum Awan lied in "court" ?

    Didn't they want 100% journalistic control over the response?

    Didn't they want cold hard cash? some reports say 10k or else.

  • Another shining example of why Islam needs to be dragged, kicking and screaming, into the present day, and back to reality. Looking critically at Islam and Muslims is not xenophobic. Could it be any more obvious that Muslims care nothing of intellectual honesty and intellectual freedom, to say nothing about freedom of speech.

  • Just to give some quick run down of the story. Mclean's magazine published a total of 22 articles which had a negative undertone towards Islam or Muslims. In response there was a request made by a group of law students to publish a response to those articles but mclean's refused to give them any opportunity to do that.

    They never asked for the ban of the articles. They never asked to ban Mark Steyn from publishing in Mclean's.

  • Actually what freedom of the press entails is Maclean's having the right to control what articles are published in their own, PRIVATE magazine and which one are not, without the coercion of people who disagree with their articles. Freedom of the press also means that those four law students could have gone to other magazines who would agree to publishing them.

    It is entirely within Maclean's right to refuse the publishing of the article, no matter how much it may "offend" you.

  • All they asked for was to be able to respond to somebody's one sided point of view.

    Makes you wonder why Mclean's, being "an ornament to Canada's civic space" would refuse to publish an article in response.

    I thought that's what free press and freedom of speech was all about. Give alternative points of view and let the people decide for themselves.

  • For all of the 157 responses that this video has gotten so far, I bet nobody actually knows about the details of this whole story, Including Rex. BTW I love this guy, he is a great journalist.

    The details of the complaints are a little more complicated then some people getting offended by an article in a magazine.

  • @twinturbom20 - You love Rex? REally. I think he's a dinosaur who should hurry and retire yesterday.... but that's me. Anyway, I do really appreciate your v. good summary of the case.

  • uman rights.

    You can think up the best vocabulary that you want. You are nothing but a zionist. His premise is muslim behaviour in Saudi Arabia. You're not so smart, if you get to write an essay, and read it as if you're debating. Barbara Amiel, used to write and cheer the war in the Maclean's magazine. Rex Murphy, you're a racist.

  • @zagabel Does that mean he can't have an opinion, though? because that's what this video's about, if you missed that point. It's about the idiocy of our Human Rights councils in trying to limit free speech.

  • sure he can have an opinion. And I have mine. He's a racist. He's defending Maclean's magazine: home to Barbara Amiel and some of the columnists of the National Post. They're a bunch of zionists islamophobes. They don't even hide it. Steyn is the king of racism who does that under the cover what is now called culturalism. So to keep it short. I didn't miss the point, Rex Murphy is still a racist and so are teh people he was defending in this segment. He's also boring and uninspiring.

  • Rex Murphy.

    Too good for CBC.

  • agreed Rex. Well done.

  • Rex is a national treasure.

  • Rex's insights are cogent and pointed. Well done, sir!

  • I love this guy. One of his best Opinion pieces yet.

  • Funny how nobody has mentioned the multitude of death threats from the Religion of Peace any writer will immediately receive for even the mildest criticism of Islam or immigration.

  • @FrankinHolland You just did.

  • These day Liberal means: fascist. "You can pick any color you want, as long as it's black." Sadly Canadian book stores don't cary Mark Steyn's literature - not very PC.

  • Rex Murphy in his best  Bravo !! :)

  • Bravo.

  • Bravo! Who is this guy? He's awesome.

  • rex murphy

  • Here, Here! Thank you for reminding us we need to THINK, not just react in knee-jerk fashion to tag lines!

  • There is still hope for my Canada

  • petrocelly left this comment. Removed Y? "& still canada supports muslims like their only saviors, is that normal ? U can tell where everywhere else in canada are conservatives, in Toronto everyone is liberal (mostly muslims)" All true & I believe petro means that Muslims would likely vote left liberal, the ideology most likely 2 B fully dhimmified & allow un-prosecuted unchecked Marxist leftard liberal bedfellow assisted stealth jihad Islamisation. Already so. colonelrobertneville blogspot com

  • Comment removed

  • wow that was unexpected. I thought all canadians were self abnegators. One point for western civilization.

  • Another well spoken opinion piece by Rex that I once again agree with.

  • Hes definatly an alien like everyone else on the news

  • CBC has an alternative opinion to liberal bias?? since when! What a great clip. This is the first time I have ever heard anything presented with facts from this station.

  • @politicalcanadian Rex murphy got his @ss chewed off more than once lol. A true reporter of the truth.

  • @politicalcanadian The entire concept of the CBC is b/s anyway. This guy though, this guy is the man.

  • @politicalcanadian Christ, the Fox news mantra/compliants about the "liberal" media here?

  • I have read the following books:

    1. The Quran

    2. The authentic traditions of Muhammad (Sahih Hadith) by Bukhari:

    3 Life of the Prophet: oldest biography by Ibn Ishaq

    have found the following issue very disturbing

    Slavery -Sahih Muslim 8:29: IT IS PERMISSIBLE TO HAVE SEXUAL INTERCOURSE WITH A CAPTIVE WOMAN AFTER SHE IS PURIFIED (OF MENSES OR DELIVERY) IN CASE SHE HAS A HUSBAND, HER MARRIAGE IS ABROGATED AFTER SHE BECOMES CAPTIVE.

    Does islam mean deprivation of basic human rights?

  • Comment removed

  • here here acsial and bbpro, absolutely right on

  • I didn't know people like this existed in Canada.

  • O Rex, as usual, shut up.

    Steyn is xenophobic, islamophobic, and dangerously believes in the "objective" superiority of the British Empire and whatever he considers his race and culture to be.

    Nazi or what.

  • How can one be a 'Nazi' and pro-Israel (like Steyn), at the same time?

    Anglo-American/Judeo-Christian culture IS "objective[ly] superior", in that we don't kill girls for not wearing bags on their heads (e.g., Aqsa Parvez).

    If Steyn is guilty of anything, it's not taking overpopulation seriously. Developing countries have too damned many kids. What do you think will happen when all these starving people want 'lebensraum'?

    When the Salafis take over, you'll be the first to get stoned to death.

  • How can one be a 'Nazi' and pro-Israel (like Steyn), at the same time?

    Extreme war crimes.

  • Whatever the IDF may-or-may-not have done in Palestine, calling Zionists 'Nazis' is a bit like calling Fidel Castro a 'Batistaist', since both were vicious dictators fond of torturing and killing their opponents.

    The various HRCs won't even HEAR complaints against anti-Semitic, homphobic, sexist Imams. This speaks to their serious, pro-Islamic (specifically, Salafist) bias. Mention the phrase 'honour killings' and the sundry "protest Islamophobia!" secular types like yourself cover your ears.

  • Western culture IS superior. Millions of people want to come here, who wants to leave?

  • Comment removed

  • read mark steyns article and youll realise this is only the start of it. He refers to demographics and how european birthrates have dropped dramatically. But islamic birthrates are much higher, by simple maths that puts the native populace in a very worrying predicament. I fear for the sort of future my grandchildren will grown up in.

  • "More immigrants than natives", that's got to be stopped before the whole country is infested with non-natives. Imagine what Canada would look like if the immigrants took over. The natives would be ruled by foreigners and treated like dirt. It's simply too terrible to contemplate. Quickly Jeeves, fetch the smelling salts!

  • well maybe canada/USA is an example of what will happen in the uk.

  • So what.

  • well its not good, that much is sure.

  • Especially so if the smelling salts are nowhere to be found.

  • Here here! Beautiful....

  • Amen to that! No one, Canadians, Americans, Britons, should tolerate Star Chamber like commissions investigating what people write and express.

  • Rex is a Newfoundland legend!!!

  • Wow this guy is smart. We need some post in Canada for the top pundit. Like the the Governor General, but for keeping it real. As for the commissions, most are set up by people not with an anti-hate agenda but one that advocates their beliefs. IF a Muslim or anyone else wants to think that kind of expression is wrong thats their choice, but its my right not to have their choices forced on me and my mental horizons.

  • Hey folks, do yourself a favour...go out and buy Mark Steyn's book, America Alone. I've read it over twice now and it's hard to argue with the logic. Radical Islam---and not some bogus issue like global warming---is the greatest threat to western society during our lifetimes.

  • Beautiful, Just Beautiful

  • Way to go Rex. The Canadian Human Rights commissions are a joke, and need to be abolished. I wish the Conservatives would make this an election issue, but it'd probably offend the Muslims. Go to hell, if you want to live in a censored society go back to the middle east. Although, in fairness one can hardly blame them for using the systems we have created to defend the mighty Allah.

  • Good news: Mark Steyn has been ACQUITTED of all charges. So suck on that, Muslim and liberal fascists!

  • I thought Canadians were smarter than us down south of ya. Man you guys scare me now

    Laughing from Minneapolis

  • Wow, this guy is good.

  • agreed

  • Rex you don't belong on CBC any more you are not leftie enough. You now are center enough to join CTV. The Islamic congress is just a couple of guys that appointed themselves to represent all muslims in Canada. These guys voimit out hate all the time and have the nerve to call up Mclean's. The human rights commissions are a big joke and should be closed down and the commissioners fired. Do we have free speach or not in Canada??

  • Well done, Rex Murphy.

  • ok well firstly I do know my history and please find me any ethnicity or nationality that does not have some sort of racist past

    1.Chinese Immigration Act, 1923

    restricted immigration - Not allowing chinese in. wow racist you can't come here.the Canadian government repealed the act on May 14,1947. Were you born yet? Were your parents born yet?

    2.The Indian Act was enacted in 1876 and has gone through a large number of admittly good and bad amendments. I will agree with you on this point.

  • Spit..........................­................

  • Rex Murphy for PM

  • Muslims hate free speech.

  • Was that that a picture of Hitler and Stalin or Bush and Harper. Same shit just a different day... perhaps the good Doctor Mengele kept some DNA in a freezer and Bayer cloned them....

  • you are one dumb shit.

  • Human Rights ..... hehehehhehehheeh

  • If you think I missed something relevent, then you have a responsibility to spell it out babe.

  • Indeed you called the first call doll. I answered if you do not get it, we obviously speak different languages and any further dialogue would only be a waster of both of our times so indeed I owe you nothing, and never did to begin with ...

  • Well allow me then.

    You are saying that rex murphy is promoting hate against china (where does he do this?). You are literally spiting on the very idea of human rights and justice, because of your persecution complex. Who "caged you like an animal", when and why?

  • ??????????????????????????????­???????????????

  • Is you trying to show our understanding of psuch 101? LMAO

  • Allow what to impose and reimpose because I do not agree with you ... your right and my right to say goodbye ...

  • how do you know that we disagree? we obviously speak two different languages.. English and Nonsense.

  • If you rant about human rights why post a video to promote hate against China? How many people have come here for the dream like my grandfather to help settle those damn prairies ... he died poor and lonely while his children went off to serve in the Canadian military ... Canada sold out his and the other farmers lively-hoods with trade spit and buying non-Canadian products and selling us out to the highest bidder elsewhere ... like they continue to do Bush and Harper another Hitler and Stalin

  • You forget why hate is a bad thing to begin with. Criticism and contempt for wrongful actions are not the same as hatred. Hatred is only wrong because it inspires prejudice, disrupts diologue, and promotes violence. Do you honestly think that shaming/blaming the Chinese gov't 4 human rights violations is "promoting hate against China"? So the Chinese govt should be above criticism? And this has something to do with your grandfather? Oh I C so that's how it is, is it? That is rather twisted. LOL

  • Than by all means doll do the dance the twist...smoooooooch as you have like this fork tougued devil twisted my words or your interpretation like mine is your own - I can not help you with that babe - that there is your right, opinion and problem. Much like mine twisted or not your entitled as am I. Give us a kiss anyhow doll and have a great day you made mine LMAO

  • That aside sweet you apparently missed my whole point so sorry .. what can I do.....

  • I hate when people equate politicians they disagree with as hitler or stalin. You show me the secret police, mass graves and concentration/death camps. After that I will agree. Save "Hitler" for someone who truly deserves it. Gitmo is no Aushwitz. Jews from Aushwitz did not get a Torah handed to them with white gloves.

  • Lest forget the 50,000 indigenous children lying in mass graves across Canada and Harper's most recent rhetoric rat shit he plundered across our nations... spit

  • What about what Canada has done ... do you not study our own history... I have been caged like an animal in Canada ... human rights ... if your considered human and who dictates the standards of what is human ... having watched you other hate propaganda ... I hope not you for I doubt you would allow me to be called a "human" spit.........free speech, democracy and justice illusions of the illusive ... spit

  • I know of a Palestinian artist living in france who frequently criticized and parodied Yasser Arafat in his "cartoon caricatures", Guess what that "noble peace prize winning sack of shit did in response"? He hired hit men to go to Paris and murder the Palestinian artist.

  • Allot of these peoples don't come from countries with a free press, Some have no appreciation or respect for the very concept.

  • I hold to the idea that if you come here, Its because you believe in the "principals and values" of the country your immigrating into.

    To many are strictly economic refugees and not "political refugees".

    Not all cultures are equal, because some don't wish to be on equal footing with others.

  • The white guilt straight jacket is a delusion and a self contradictory line of thinking, All cultures and societies have nut jobs and subversive element in them just as much as they do kind soft hearted courteous types.

  • Its called the "Silent Jihad" which attacks our basic freedom of speech and democracy, using legal means. Just look to Britian, France and Denmark to see what is happening and the nightmare being brought by this Silent Jihad.

  • HRCs are a joke in Canada.

  • HI TOM GREEN !! GRTZ FROM ANGELTV . NL

  • Rex Murphy is right on TARGET! good work!

  • Right on!

  • YESSSSS REX! OMG this is absolutely true.

  • I did a search for Mark Steyn just now. I jsut got a signed copy of his book in the mail and am loving it. I really like this Rex Murphy guy.

  • As always, Rex Murphy cuts right through all the crap and BS and sums everything up in one neat little package.

    Would all the thin-skinned, ignorant, Muslim crybabies please just "Go Away"

  • rex has a weird different way about him but he makes good points!

  • Islamwtf, I hope I'm wrong, but I do not share your optimism in Canada's future. You say the fight has just begun, but I think it is already over. Head south... where there is still a chance.

  • dumbass.

  • Canada's government is a sellout at the expense of freedom.

  • Time to start relaxing. Thanks for just awakening a sleeping gian. Canada is rising up against your women hating, anti-western, 7th century religion. Just saw today how "secular" Turkey is putting hog farms out of business (hummm, Islam at work). Last week a lawyer in England was stopped from going swimming with his son because of Muslims in the pool would not allow a kafir. NO, you will not succeed here in Canada and the fight has just begun. Wait for the new SCC justice.

  • Canada's government is a sellout at the expense of freedom.

  • The Charter of rights and Freedoms guarantees our right to equal protection and benefit of the law. NOT TRUE!

    Under workers comp schemes your medical and legal rights are taken by the Feds and Provinces. Workers comp in Canada is purposely denying claims with no recourse for the injured party to get justice. Many are dieing because of this abuse because they are not receiving medical care and are forced into poverty. Suicides are the result of these unfair laws. Fascist Canada. Kill the weak.

  • Thank goodness for Rex Murphy!

  • Rex Murphy is essential CBC'S version of CNN'S Jack Cafferty (essentially Jack Cafferty on Barbituates and Amphetamines).

  • The only person in Canada with bigger testicles than Rex is Christie Blatchford! Please continue to expose a growing intolerance among some segments of this country to freedom of expression and constructive debate rather than the specter of political correctness, under which people are more concerned about what they should think, rather than what they DO think.

  • People may b*tch about the US, but the one great thing we have that no other country on this planet has is the constitutionally-protected Right of Free Speech. Even Canada, as some have pointed out, does not have such an animal enshrined in their constitution. Let's dump the UN and create a Free Speech Organization, where only those countries that change their restrictive free speech laws to our freewheeling one are allowed to join. Free Speech: It's what's for breakfast.

  • Canada does have the right to free speech enshrined in its constitution, as others have pointed out. Check out s.2(b) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms - which is part of the Constitution Act, 1982. "Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:...freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication". Rather than using the word speech, the use of "expression" and "communication" is a far wider freedom than simple "speech".

  • What is the good of free speech if all the laws,policies, and procedures are designed to keep you in poverty and ill health? You can shout all you want but nothing will change without action. Free speech is a basic fundamental right anywhere. To allow a government to take that is the crime. The sheep are either too comfortable or too stupid to rebel.

  • Supernewf1, I take it that you are from Canada. Your comments of the system there are alarming. Can you expand on what you mean by, "forced into poverty"?

  • He means that Ontario and Alberta are not sending enough equalization money to Newfoundland. Newf, free speech is not a basic fundamental right "everywhere", Not in China or Iran for a couple of examples. I do not want to add Canada to that list. Multiculturalism is going to lead to a ghetto culture in Canada. Immigrents who come to Canada should want to be Canadian. I am 8th generation Canadian. My culture built this nation. Not Iran's not China's, not Sudenese's. PC bullcrap to say otherwise.

  • Neo mean new unaware of of racist history The Indian Act Chinese Exclusion Act and the Chinese Immigration Act and the human torches that build our railways spit or the spreading of my Baba's remains across the prairies after chasing the Canadian dream that ended in nightmares thanks to out government selling out our Slavic farmers for import cheap grain spit....

  • Individual rights as a concept has a longer history than Rex lets on (see John Locke's "Treatise on Government", e.g.) but aside from that, good video-essay.

  • Right on, Rex! Brilliantly put.

  • Way to completely miss the point Rex... I just watched one of these students speak on the issue and their complaint is not that the article needs to be censored it is that McLeans refuses to publish a counterpoint.

    Seems Canadian jounalism is becoming as opinionated and one sided as Fox News.

  • What about Playboy - that is one sided but do feminists demand that they get their side printed by Playboy?

    No.

    The upset feminists started Ms magazine which is still going.

    These lawyers are educated by Canadian universities and I would hope are articulate enough to write some interesting counter points but all they do so far is write newspaper articles about how they can't get published. Hmmm. Seems ironic to me.

    This is making me wonder if there is a hidden agenda.

  • They did in fact write a counterpoint and McLeans seems to want no part of it, Canadian news has always been the most informative because it gives both sides of the story but not anymore... now it's opinionated crap... just like Rex Murphy's little wannabe Fox "commentary".

    You... have the "hidden agenda" shamelessly taking every irrelevant point you can find to promote your theory of the non-existant Muslim conspiracy against freedom.

  • Do feminists have a "Human Right" to get a counterpoint published in Playboy? Please express opinion on this point as I am trying to understand the issue.

    There are many other places to get a counterpoint published - I am interested to understand opinions of all. Hey - post a video on Youtube. I think that would be terrific. It is simply not a Human Right to get an opposing opinion published in a private magazine. Don't buy it. I don't buy Playboy.

  • At no point did I use the term "human right"... so why the quotes?

    That demonsrtates how incapable you are of coming up with a valid point...

    You're "playboy" analogy is simpy not apt.

    If McLeans claims to be as journalistic... well, if they can't publish a counterpoint then they're "opinion" is simply not fact, so there "publication" is garbage.

  • This complaint has been submitted and accepted for trial at the Human Rights Commission in Canada. This is a Human Rights court case which will be judging free speech by a privately owned magazine. There will be a legally binding judgement delivered.

    In our chat, please plsy the ball - not the player or I will no longer debate. thanks.

  • Well if they want to go to human rights... let them.

    Human Rights will decide if it is free expression or hate speech aimed at inciting hatred or even violence towards muslims.

    I will not "play ball" if you want to keep changing the subject around... my first post suggested that Rex's little tirade is opinionated crap that didn't even address the actual facts... not what you are suggesting in this post.

  • Any magazine can print an opinion and nobody has the individual right to expect that a publication has the obligation to hear any particular counterpoint or point of view. This is a ridiculous case.

  • Yup it's a ridiculous case...

    But if that magazine wants people to take them seriously... then they should be printing both sides, especially when the "other side" is coming from the people they are talking about... Most Canadians would find this particualarily true for a "nationwide" magazine.

    It's not news... it's opinionated crap, .... read it if you want.

    Rex Murphy... Canada's Bill Reilly.

    Barbara Walters... America's Barbara Frum.

    (Yea..in Walters' dreams!!!)

  • This has to be the most asinine post in the long, storied history of asinine internet posts. Nice work.
