Kudos to the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA) for wisdom and courage.

The wisdom to recognize that the consitutional right to free speech covers all shades of opinion. And the courage to take a stance that might anger their allies on the left. A highly reasonable stance, in our opinion, but one that might raise hackles among progressives nonetheless.

Ever heard of Molly Norris?

We certainly didn’t, until very recently. A cartoonist for Seattle Weekly, Norris might have continued to labour in relative obscurity were it not for having a daring sense of humour.

Norris was upset by the seeming willingess of the western media to kowtow to Islamic censors and decided to something about it.

LP quoted in CP article

by Gerry Nicholls - 21/12/2009

Libertas Post president Gerry Nicholls was quoted in this Canadian Press article on conservatism in Canada.

Here's the quote:

Gerry Nicholls of the conservative online portal Libertas Post says Harper caters to "populist conservative" values such the family, the military and criminal justice - but avoids the issues of individual freedom, smaller government and balanced books.

Nicholls wishes the prime minister would do more to "sell" conservatism and believes having Harper at 24 Sussex Drive actually stalls conservative activism by making it complacent.

"This has kind of neutralized Canada's conservative movement, because Stephen Harper is our guy," he said in an interview.
