A strange column.

The writer begins by painting a picture of Canadian universities as places of thoughtful compromise, where careful conversations lead to meet-you-in-the-middle ways to balance free speech supporters with safe space supporters.

Then a few paragraphs later he mentions that anti-abortion students at the University of Calgary have finally received permission to put up posters showing photographs of pieces of aborted fetuses. Oh, and they obtained that permission when a judge in a courtroom ruled that the university was violating fundamental human rights by refusing the students' request.

Um, hello?

Seriously, hello?

Hey, Mister Columnist, that second item you mention is NOT thoughtful compromise, it is instead NUCLEAR WAR against free speech launched by the university, a brutal war FINALLY won, in a court of law (!!!), by the free speech side.

So drop the nonsense about "safe spaces" (roll eyes), Calgary is the radioactive ground zero of what that WEAPON is about.
