Orwellian Canada

The more laws, the less justice.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

My favorite law blogger, Canadian attorney Viva Frei, explains why Canada is becoming a fairly Orwellian place, at times, in which to live.

musing Well, it’s not a cause and effect thing, but more laws, less justice is true– at least retail level, because “justice” depends heavily on expectations.

If the culture is so disjoined that folks don’t know what to expect, there’s going to be more injustice, just from misunderstandings.

“We in America have the First Amendment. You in Canada have hate speech laws.” Ben Shapiro to Dr. Jordan B. Peterson.

It is likely only a matter of time before there are Federal “hate speech” laws targeting religious expression (excepting Muslims, of course). They will be justified on the basis that, for example, preaching Christian truth is so “offensive” that it amounts to shouting “fire” in a crowded theater, and thus warrants an exception to the First Amendment freedom of speech. Freedom of religion will be reduced to “freedom to worship”—in private. The seeds have already been planted in many liberal court rulings and administrative rules. As soon as there is a Democrat in the White House who enjoys a majority in both the House and Senate, this will happen quickly.
