The Sandinistas:
The Sandinistas’ real face is not hard to find. A few years ago, the chief of censorship at the Interior Ministry explained the censoring of La Prensa with a comment that would have made George Orwell blush. She said, and I quote: “They accused us of suppressing freedom of expression. This was a lie, and we could not let them publish it.”
Canadians who do not like their hate-speech policy, it turns out, are not free to call censors unflattering things.
Let me rephrase. Canadians are not free to call censors “enemies of free speech.” Even if, by the clear meaning of the English language (as well as by American standards) that’s what hate-speech censors are, just because they’re censors: Enemies of free speech. … The judge ruled that a government official working from duly enacted government policy cannot be an enemy of free speech.
