[QUOTE="Box Ox, post: 4108696, member: 48469"] I like living in this “highly developed third world country” because my freedom of speech is absolute. In Canada: [B]“Freedom of expression in Canada[/B] is protected as a "fundamental freedom" by Section 2 of the [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_Charter_of_Rights_and_Freedoms']Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms[/URL], but the charter permits the government to enforce "reasonable" limits. [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hate_speech']Hate speech[/URL], obscenity, and [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defamation']defamation[/URL] are common categories of restricted speech in Canada.” [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_of_speech_in_Canada#Reasonable_limits']Freedom of speech in Canada - Wikipedia[/URL] Your government can actually imprison its citizens merely for what they say. And that’s a big “no thanks” for me. I’d probably enjoy living in Canada. Some of my ancestors came down from it. But you really need to think about some of the things that are going on in your own country as you point your finger and howl about the “rights” of citizens in the US. [/QUOTE]
