“The event planned for Saturday was supposed to have speakers talk about free speech and M-103,” but that was not permitted in Grand Prairie.

“In light of recent conflicts around similar gatherings across Canada and in the US, it’s not unreasonable to foresee that the proposed August 26th event may increase risk for participants, other users of Muskoseepi Park and the general public. In order to eliminate this particular risk, the City is choosing not to approve the park use permit for the proposed August 26th event and will not be approving the use of any other public land for the event.”

In other words, Violent Leftists have been brutalizing people who stand for the freedom of speech, and they have friends in the highest places, and so your free speech rally is forbidden. The freedom of speech is dead in Canada, “Islamophobia” is officially recognized as a genuine concept, and Muslims are a special, protected class, their beliefs immune from criticism even when they are used to justify terror massacres. We know which way the wind is blowing, and it isn’t in the direction of those who stand for freedom. Shut up, get in line, and hope they don’t come for you first.
