So what was that -- the antifa/communist not-so-peaceful demonstration outside Mohawk College in Hamilton ON on 29 September -- all about? It was, as Maxime Bernier and Frank Vaughn said in videos recorded on the 30th, an exercise by radical leftist thugs of their view of "free speech" -- which means, to them, that you're free to speak as long as your views agree with theirs.
The symposium, "Uncensored: Free Speech in Canada", was organized by the People's Party of Canada, and featured popular American YouTuber David Rubin, in a roudtable discussion with PPC leader Maxime Bernier. The usual suspects -- antifa, union leaders, left-wing academics etc -- had demanded that Mohawk College cancel the event, but Mohawk (to their credit) said the McIntyre Arts Centre was for rent to the public (including the PPC) and the event could go ahead.
So about 100 loonie lefties gathered outside the venue and made would-be attenders run the gauntlet. About 500, including Agent 3 did, that, and thoroughly enjoyed the main panel discussion, featuring Messrs Bernier and Rubin, with PPC candidates Frank Vaughan (on the left in the picture, but not politically!) and Prof. David Haskell.
The warm-up act (so to speak) was a speech by Dr Salim Mansur, a Professor Emeritus of Political Science at the University of Western Ontario. Dr Mansur is a former columnist for the London Free Press and the Toronto Sun, and has contributed to various publications including National Review and the Middle East Forum. He is an immigrant who became a Canadian citizen, and a Muslim. And he is now the People's Party of Canada candidate in London North Centre. And they say the PPC is racist and Islamophobic? Hah!
Here is a video of the entire event -- Frank Vaughan's introduction, Dr Masur's speech, and the panel discussion. It runs just over an hour and a half, and every minute is worth watching.
