Trudeau’s ‘Hate Speech’ Law about to Make Martyrs in Canada?
History doesn’t repeat, but it does rhyme. Trudeau and his Liberals are resurrecting the ‘hate-speech’ law, that was put to death years ago with the help of Mark Steyn and others, but now rising from the dead like a zombie that, well, just refuses to die.
