Too bad free speech still does not exist in Canada. She still had to cease and desist.

Well not entirely.She can still run the website,with roughly the same tone and outlook.It just needs some of the more truthful statements to be covered up a bit with more euphemisms and perhaps a blank space or two.Consider also this :

Conservative Party passes resolution to remove Internet Censorship provision from Human Rights Fanatics
In a show of support, the Conservative Party of Canada today voted overwhelmingly in favour of Resolution P-203 to repeal Section 13 (Internet censorship provision) of the Canadian Human Rights Act.
According to many of the reports, it was supported by 99% of the delegates, and surprisingly even the Minister of Justice, Rob Nicholson voted in favor of P-203. This is a bit of a surprise, since it is his ministry that has spend at least $500,000 in the Lemire case to uphold the constitutionality of Section 13. When the resolution was passed, Conservative Party Delegates went wild with a applause and a standing ovation for the ridding association that brought forward the motion.

Tories push party to the right as policy convention wraps up
WINNIPEG - Grassroots Conservatives wrapped up a subdued policy convention Saturday by approving resolutions that would push the party further to the right on several fronts, but that largely affirm existing government policies.
In the end, the rank and file urged the party to press ahead with its tough-on-crime agenda, and support some long-held causes of rock-ribbed conservatives, such as curbing the powers of the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
The party also overwhelmingly approved a proposal to remove authority from the Human Rights Commission to probe or adjudicate hate speech.
Nicholson said he supported the resolution, but is waiting for a report from the commission on the matter. "We'll have a look at all input on this, but we've got a very busy criminal-law agenda," he said.

This isn't law yet,but it likely will be.There has been a very slow,but noticeable,retreat from the extreme censorship process here in Canada over the last year or so.Over all,here in Canada I'd say that,for the first time in years,we can have a cautious and mildly positive outlook on the free speech front.
