This is from Heat Street. It reminds me what a joke of a country Canada has become since their 50 year slide into secular left fascism.
Excerpt:
A Canadian city was “proportionate and reasonable” in censoring a pro-life ads from the sides of its buses because the banners were “likely to cause psychological harm to women who have had an abortion,” according to a ruling.
According to the judge, the ruling won’t prohibit every pro-life ad in the city, but he stressed that it was reasonable to ban banners specifically produced by the Calgary-based Canadian Centre for Bioethical Reform (CCBR) because they might upset women and children.
The pro-life group’s ad showed unborn babies at seven weeks’ and 16 weeks’ gestation followed by an empty frame filled in red to represent an aborted baby. Underneath the images were the captions: “growing,” “growing” and “gone.” The ad also read: “Abortion kills children” and showed the group’s website.
Judge Anderson said that CCBR website includes messages such as “Now is the time to put an end to the slaughter. Now is the time to look evil in the face and say, enough. Now is the time to join together, and lend our voices to those who had theirs brutally taken from them.”
“These are strong statements that vilify women who have chosen, for their own reasons, to have an abortion; they are not merely informative and educational,” Anderson added.
Now, it’s true that I am a bit of a “hold women accountable” person. In the past I’ve blogged about how women are more supportive of abortion rights and gay marriage than men. So, naturally, I wanted to know if the pro-abortion, anti-free-speech judge was a man or woman. Answer: she’s a woman:
The Honourable Charlene S. Anderson, a lawyer with Ross Smith Asset Management Inc. in Calgary, is appointed a judge of the Court of Queen’s Bench of Alberta (Calgary) to replace Madam Justice B.L. Veldhuis who was appointed to the Court of Appeal on February 8, 2013.
Honorable!??? That’s not the word I would use for an anti-free-speech fascist, but I know that Canada is a third-world banana republic, where the right to free speech is not guaranteed in their founding documents. It’s a tax-and-spend nanny state, where the government micromanages the words of the citizens.
If you want to see the ad, this article seems to have it. http://www.thepeterboroughexaminer.com/2016/02/22/pro-life-group-fights-city-ban-on-anti-abortion-bus-ad
Not sure why it wasn’t included in this post.

Well, every genocidal state needs its very own Roland Freisler to help the process along. The ‘honourable’ Charlene S. Anderson fits nicely into that mould. I just hope that one day our respective societies can look back on things like this and see it for the deplorable evil which it is.

This is getting out of control. Where are they going to stop with this? What isn’t emotionally upsetting? Any pro-life argument becomes vulnerable.

Grand Prairie is a pretty small town. Might have two or maybe even three buses.

Mildly interesting, yet basically immaterial, factoid.
