By your lights a quick read of the Soviet Constitution results in that regime being a beacon of freedom and prosperity.<BR/><BR/>Maybe with the Americans electing the Clinton or Obama and Canadians re-electing Harper their will be a rapprochement of sorts on the freedom of expression front. I hear the Democrats aren't too fond of certain forms of freedom of expression. It has to be the right kind, a bit like our Canadian Human Rights Commission.<BR/><BR/>Changing topics, I understand a poll out of Quebec has the Conservatives winning 25-30seats there next election.

Come to think of it, it probably isn't likely that Ezra made his concession before going before the HRC, but I suppose its possible. <BR/><BR/>However, if he sent his email to the Calgary Sun on the 11th, he might be repeating something he knows to be false on the 12th.bigcitylibhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05081538803991095825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-32702046513678861772008-01-13T12:59:00.000-05:002008-01-13T12:59:00.000-05:00So you can't prove it then.What a shock.So you can't prove it then.<BR/><BR/>What a shock.Gaylehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112657859825911939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-59612321106220641712008-01-13T12:57:00.000-05:002008-01-13T12:57:00.000-05:00Gayle you silly thing, poaching from ti-guy's talk...Gayle you silly thing, poaching from ti-guy's talking points no less!<BR/><BR/>And only someone who's out of touch with reality would make the assertion that a country's freedom is dependent on a court decision.<BR/><BR/>The Soviet Union gave all kinds of supposed freedoms to their citizenry but if the latter ever attempted to meaningfully assert it, we know where they'd end up.<BR/><BR/>Ignorance must be bliss Gayle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-29750378197443517302008-01-13T12:54:00.000-05:002008-01-13T12:54:00.000-05:00But all will be made right in 2008 when the americ...<I>But all will be made right in 2008 when the americans will democratically elect Obama or Clinton, as is likely, right ti-guy?</I><BR/><BR/>I'm not a fan of Democrats, Andrew-Biff.
