Your “question of the week” this time around was depressing.

It’s incomprehensible to me that in Canada anyone would ask such an absurd question as this: “Is retaining ‘free speech’ worth the public threat from terrorists?”

What’s even more unbelievable is some voted ‘no.’

Without free speech, we don’t live in a free society. If you surrender that most basic and necessary freedom, you might as well raise the white flag and surrender now to the terrorists.

Censorship will prove their methods are successful, thereby ensuring terrorism continues.
