yes exactly. And as chilling as it is, and a destructive to the free market of ideas as it is, I don't think Canada's move comes from a nefarious right wing conspiracy, as much as it does from their religion of tolerance. I love Canada, but placing tolerance above critical thinking is something that unfortunately tends to happen up there.
