So we come to the latest of these blooding exercises, the “debate” over Motion 103, a private member’s motion introduced by Liberal MP Iqra Khalid. RelatedThe only candidate to say he will vote in favour of the motion is Michael Chong. In the case of “hate speech,” the harm is supposed to be the violence towards its objects that might ensue. That is no basis for any kind of law, let alone one that would restrict something so vital as speech. If the other Conservative candidates want to fight censorship, let them join Chong in that cause, rather than this shameless demagoguery over a harmless motion.
