From a reader:

I don’t see why you’re still whining about McCain, Steyn, seeing as how you’ll be spending most of his presidency in a Canadian jail cell…

Unfortunately, I may not get that lucky. The Canadian Islamic Congress has complained about my “flagrant Islamophobia” under the guise of Section 13 of the Human Rights Code. In a surprising development from an unlikely quarter, Keith Martin, a Liberal Member of Parliament from British Columbia, has filed a private member’s motion in the House of Commons to abolish Section 13 on the grounds that Canada should be a country where “we’re allowed to speak our mind“.

Dr Martin is no friend of social conservatives or any other type of right-winger, but he is a principled Liberal and a believer in freedom of expression for all. I wish there were more like him.
