ICYMI: Lone wolves, police state – Gagnon

Good commentary by Lysiane Gagnon, detailing all the limits of current government soundings of proposals to reduce the risk of violent extremism, particularly for “lone wolves” like Couture-Rouleau and Zehaf-Bibeau.

She concludes with:

These are repugnant opinions [justifying terrorism], but even the most abhorrent ideas must be tolerated for freedom of speech to exist. This is what makes Canada a liberal democracy. Denying it would be granting a moral victory to the terrorists who are fighting against this country’s most fundamental values.
