Whew. Is that why so many freedom loving Canadians migrated southward?

Total Bull****!

Indeed. *What restrictions are there on police power in Ontario and
Quebec? *Criminal law is totally a federal jurisdiction, but the
police are paid by the municipalities and the provinces. *The Ontario
and Quebec police are powers unto themselves, and they know it. *The
police here ARE the government. *And, they tell you as much.- Hide quoted text -

It's different. Quite unique in some ways. Cold, and controlled.
And, very, very different from the U.S. Ain't too big on
individualism, freedom of speech or freedom in general.

LOL. That must explain why Howard Stern was fined millions of dollars for saying naughty
words on his radio show and why American television and radio is so highly censored.

You're referring to censorship of sexuality, in prime time. That's
not exactly freedom of speech, although it is freedom of expression.
And it's in a very specific context. There are virtually no
restrictions on expression in American media as a whole. Sexual
violence is permitted in American pornography in many States, for
example. It is highly illegal in Canada. Expressions of hostility
and anger, particularly against the government, are much more likely
to be seen in U.S. media than in Canadian media. Good God, Jean
Chretien, when he was Prime Minister kicked and punched a man simply
for walking into his path on national television, and Canadians
applauded him! And then they charged the man who was kicked and
punched with assault!

Canadians are so locked into their system that they don't realize how
repressive it is. Any expression of anger can be called a "Hate
Crime", and it is. On a regular basis. You will, no doubt, say these
are justified charges against people who are "dangerous", but they
have done nothing, and they have planned to do nothing. They were
just angry. They're reported on these sites, with references, on a
regular basis.

Sexuality? Stern was fined for content that was ""lewd and vulgar, and that it appeared to
have been used to pander, titillate and shock." and for too many references to sex and
excretory functions. What a coincidence that Stern was constantly railing against the Bush
administration, and that the head of the FCC was Colin Powell's son.

Bono was also admonished for having been so crass as to use the expression "****ing
brilliant".

That is curious because so many prudes express the opinion that pornography leads to violence
but never seem to make the same connection between the constant barrage of violence in the
entertainment media and violence. Go figger..

Oh come off it. I am sure that you realize that the guy didn't just simply walk into him. He
was a protester, and walking into him was no accident.



and Canadians
applauded him! And then they charged the man who was kicked and
punched with assault!

And so he should have been.

That man didn't touch Chretien. He just walked into his path. Then,
Chretien attacked him because he was paranoid about the guy who had
wandered into his home past the RCMP gaurds a month or two before.
Canadians grovel at the feet of authority. Which they are welcome to
do. Not for me, thankyou.

Canadians are NOT all cut from the same cloth. Lumping an entire country's
citizens together is just plain stupid.

Or perhaps defoliate.
