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.

VIDEO: Antifa thugs assault elderly PPC supporters at Hamilton rally
What was supposed to be a "peaceful protest" outside last night's "Uncensored: Free Speech in Canada" roundtable -- featuring libertarian YouTuber (((David Rubin))) and Maxime Bernier, leader of the People's Party of Canada -- in Hamilton ON turned violent Sunday evening as supporters of the PPC were attacked by Antifa/Communist protesters as they tried to enter the venue at Mohawk College. The leftist terrorists -- you can see a Communist banner in the video -- went so far as to push an elderly lady using a walker!
There were a number of other confrontations and scuffles. Two men from opposing sides of the protests were led away in handcuffs by Hamilton police. Inspector Knacker said there were a total of four arrests for "breach of the peace", but all those detained were later released without conditions. Free speech, perhaps? Hamilton police are continuing their investigations.
Inside the McIntyre Arts Centre, When the event got underway, Maxime Bernier emerged on stage while "Eye of the Tiger" played. He received multiple standing ovations throughout the night for pledging to increase "personal freedoms" for all Canadians. He was joined onstage by American YouTuber and political commentator Dave Rubin, and two PPC candidates -- Prof. David Haskell (Cambridge-North Dumfries) and Frank Vaughan (Northumberland-Peterborough South), who acted as moderator. "Mad Max" praised all of his candidates, saying "[They] are not real politicians, and that's great! People don't trust politicians anymore."
The four chatted at length about preserving freedom from censorship in Canada, their doubts about climate change science, keeping government small and the PPC's plan to repeal the Multiculturalism Act. They also talked about immigration, with M Bernier saying the party's plan is "not racist, not anti-immigration and not pro-mass-immigration." The party would drastically reduce immigration to Canada, he said, and focus resources on those citizens already in the country.
When asked if he'd be willing to engage in a debate with protesters outside the venue, Mr Rubin said "I'd be happy to talk to them if they're not in my face and screaming at me and calling me a Nazi." He found that not just offensive but funny, considering that he's Jewish (also gay!) and that last night was the beginning of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish new year.
"If I could sit down with any of those people and chat about it, I would try to do exactly what I did tonight", he said, "which is really try to get them to understand what are your rights, where do your rights come from and how special it is to live in a place like Canada or the U.S."

VIDEO: PPC Candidates discuss globalism, Islamism, and immigration
Canuckistan's federal election is less than two months away. The No. 1 issue at the ballot box is likely to be immigration. But, as noted in "Canada's 'independent' Debate Commission shuts out Max Bernier", no-one except Maxime Bernier and the People's Party of Canada wants to talk about it.
No-one. The leaders of the two major parties (Tweedledumb and Tweedledumber) don't want to talk about it. Neither do the leaders of the two minor parties. Nor do the (((controlled media))) and the liberal commentariat. Why? Because all of them are agreed that unfettered mass migration and open borders -- come one, come all! -- are good for Canada! That's the official multi-party line, the political orthodoxy which is not to be challenged. Period.
Only the People's Party of Canada offers a realistic alternative to the mass migration espoused by all the others. See "Max Bernier's PPC policy on immigration, in point form", WWW 25/7/19. But will the Canadian people get to hear about it? Not if the usual suspects (named above) have their way. That's why Maxime Bernier is not being allowed to participate in any of the televised leaders' debates. That's why pro-PPC anti-mass-immigration billboards have been torn down. See "PC police force takedown of pro-PPC anti-immigration billboards", WWW 26/8/19.
The People's Party of Canada, its leader and its supporters are being vilifed in the lamestream media as racists, Islamophobes, white nationalists, yada yada yada, for daring to suggest that the No-longer-great White North's immigration policies need a rethink. And your average Canuck doesn't know enough about the PPC and its policies to challenge those slurs, because the PPC is being so effectively deplatformed.
So... as a service to the Canadian public... Walt is sharing this video of five of the alleged racists etc etc talking about immigration, Islamism and globalism. This was recorded at the PPC convention in Gatineau QC on the evening of August 17th. Mark Friesen, Frank Vaughan, David Haskell, Laura Lynn Thompson, and Ivan Pak are not just reciting talking points from the party platform. They are giving their own opinions, exercising their right to speak out and put these issues on the table for discussion. They and their leader should be heard.
