Andrew Coyne is liveblogging the Steyn show trial. And here’s the problem in a nutshell:

2. They think free speech is a red herring.
Good Lord. I can’t imagine having to deal with people useful idiots that far down the rabbit hole. Canada and the UK are in a race to see which country can commit suicide first.
Kathy Shaidle has a post chock full o’ links, including video of protesters with, get this, blank signs. Niiiice!!
