Canadian asserts an "inalienable right to publish whatever the hell I want?"



Canada doesn't have a First Amendment (and after seeing this clip, maybe they should) but it seems that at least the concept of freedom of the press is alive and well in the hearts of some of our cousins to the north.

I also have to admit that I loved seeing an officious bureaucrat get dressed down by a pro.

If you haven't been keeping up with this, the Human Rights Commission of the Province of Alberta (Canada) is investigating a complaint made by a couple of Calgary Muslims against a publication called The Western Standard which offended some in the Muslim community two years ago by re-publishing those Danish cartoons depicting the prophet Muhammad.
