Dear Ms. Khalid;
I find your motion before the Canadian Parliament listed below to be offensive and if transmuted into law or metastasized into a crown inquiry by any manner of legislative or political chicanery; an act of political violence against one of the most sacrosanct cornerstones and inalienable rights of free speech, long recognized via Anglo-Saxon Common Law and our Judeo-Christian heritage. Many a monarch or totalitarian dictator have in the distant past or immediate present given their seal to laws that oppressed those who were in vocal opposition to the draconian rules said rulers unilaterally imposed on their subjects. While freedom of speech was a sacrosanct concept, there were also longstanding laws covering slander and libel that gave those who felt impugned by another's freedom of speech to seek redress and legal remedy in the courts and juries of 12 peers that are also an integral part of Anglo-Saxon Common Law and our Judea-Christian heritage. Despite predating it by a millennium, this concept of seeking redress before a jury of 12 peers, was first codified into the Magna Carta over 800 years ago by Stephen Langton, the Archbishop of Canterbury. Political Correctness and the labeling of free speech as "Hate" speech are Marxist concepts to silence all forms of legitimate dissent in otherwise free societies.
