Letter re terrorists - Christie Blatchford, Globe Dec 18th A2

Freedom of Expression

Christie Blatchford states, in her article on sentencing terrorists, the following: Those values - "the pursuit of truth, participation in the community and individual self-fulfillment" - are the very principles that underpin the right to freedom of expression, the court said. Any Canadian can say anything he or she wants so long as it advances one or more of thoes ideals.

The University of Toronto, has defended its inauguration of Israel apartheid week, the Master's degree of Peto and the promotion of many anti-Israel or anti-semitic speakers on the grounds of freedom of expression. They certainly don't fit into this definition.
