“But of course, in saying this, my liberal critics in the media will, of course, say, ‘Well, Poilievre agrees with freedom of speech from someone like Dr. Peterson, therefore, he must endorse everything Dr. Peterson has ever said.’ Well, of course not. I don’t endorse 100% of everything anyone has ever said.”Article content

still doesn't qualify him to be a psychologist.

'Just not as a member of my caucus because we have to give a united front' 'the liberals will eat us alive if one caucus member strays' lol

The issue is not about free speech and there’s no gov’t restriction against Peterson’s garbage. The issue is about an alleged violation of a professional code, somewhat similar to an employer, say the Sun, not allowing its writers to say what they really think about, say, the Sun

That’s some headline. To “defend” suggests Peterson is in the right to begin with. PP is supporting Peterson’s hate speech which is indefensible. Also, there is no such thing as a “right to free speech.” Canada’s constitution places “reasonable limits.” You can’t just say shit!

PierrePoilievre Free speech has a limit in any civil society. PP has a major problem if he says and believes that he will “defend any free speech to his death” with no limitations more to abusive language. Seriously? Is this the same position with Conservative Party?

Poilievre is a happy misogynist. Let's see how well that works in the suburbs?

That goof is an embarrassment to himself

“Is politics nothing other than the art of deliberately lying?” Voltaire

A politician should not be interfering with the work of regulatory professional colleges. Unacceptable political pressure and bullying.

So Dr. Brooks Fallis should get his job back then?

Weird how this doesn’t apply to anyone he actually disagrees with.

Everyone is free to say what they want That doesn't mean there are no consequences for what someone says. Freedom of speech at work

This is the dumbest timeline. PP’s not defending anything, and Peterson’s rights aren’t at risk, this is about his violation of a professional code of conduct he *voluntarily* agreed to abide by 🤦‍♀️ Also: not a Voltaire quote.

The government has not restricted his right to free expression. The provincial governing body has not restricted his right to free expression BUT they have the right to review his membership.

So he supports hate speech?

Why does Poilievre defend the absurd whining of a man who agreed to the rules, ethics, & standards of the Organization he belonged to? As Professionals, we agree to be Governed by the Org we are a member of & deserve censure if our behavior is disgraceful & contravenes standards!

The CPC picking this guy for their leader pretty much ensures they will lose the next election.

Both men support kiddy porn

Poilievre is on a short leash with his mgtow base.

Pierre, you’re such a hypocrite, “…… I will defend to death his right to say it.”. You seemed to take a different tone totally when a disparaging remark was made about wife. Pathetic.

People have to stand (pun intended) against wokeness.

Only speech that I find acceptable should be allowed. Censorship laws must be brought in.

'You have the right to swing your fist, but that freedom stops at the tip of another person's nose.' ~ Pierre Poilievre

Pierre Poison-ever

Of course you steal and misappropriate the quote which was actually said by a woman, Evelyn Beatrice Hall, Voltaire's biographer. Look it up.

The incel king of canada misattributing to man something that was said by a woman, and invoking 'free speech' when the pertinent legal concept in Canada is 'freedom of expression' is absolute peak PP. cdnpoli

And you therefore accept the consequences too.

Hypocrisy at its finest I seem to recall just recently you threw a major conniption when peepee was trending suggesting the free speech of those who used it was inappropriate

Gaslighting Alert

Ha. In NB, CPC MPs refused to attend a PC fundraising dinner unless I was specifically disinvited/reprimanded, after I criticized Poilievre for his attack on a journalist last fall. The hard-left and right are weaponizing our rights for partisan ends. Don’t believe them.

He can make his statements as an independent citizen. But if he wants to remain a member of a professional body he is beholden to their code of conduct

You ain't no Voltaire!

This man supports hate speech.

Pee Pee is a domestic terrorist supporter and woman hater!
