“Since I had the misfortune to become ensnared in the Canadian ‘human rights’ racket, I’ve come to appreciate more and more the comment one fellow left on an Internet post somewhere or other, remarking that he was in favour of free speech, because the alternatives ‘were just too weird.’”

You can read an excerpt from the book focusing on Mark Steyn’s show trial this past June, in Canada’s Western Standard, whose publisher, Ezra Levant, along with Steyn and Shaidle, is yet another journalist who has run afoul of the Canadian thought police.
