A brief and petty post: it's time to retire the "Canada has no freedom of speech/First Amendment" nonsense. Here's the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Fundamental freedoms 2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms: (a) freedom of conscience and religion; (b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication; (c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and (d) freedom of association.
It's a bit more complex than that, since certain limitations are accepted on these freedoms, but it's absurd to deny the very existence of such a freedom.

Canadians have freedom of thought?! Wow, USA-ians don't even have that.

No, but they can have the right to freedom of thought.

...Where's the fetus going to gestate? You going to keep it in a box?

In the nose. Surely it'll come from the right nostril...
Wait...
My right, or your right??

As in, 'Sweet Loretta Martin thought she was a woman, but she was another man?'
