HAD ENOUGH yet? Of disruptive pro-Palestinian protests in Canada, I mean. Screaming mobs waving the Palestinian flag this week stormed into busy shopping malls in Toronto, Ottawa and Vancouver disrupting Christmas shopping — hauling down a Christmas tree at one.
Terrified children could be heard on videos crying as their mothers whisked them away from Christmas displays swarmed by demonstrators, leaving one mall Santa stunned at the commotion.
Freedom of expression carries with it the democratic limits that the Charter allows for. It does now allow for harassment, intimidation, mischief or counselling hatred and terrorism. It certainly should not allow thugs to ruin some kids’ Christmas.
