You want to hold a demonstration - peaceful or not - and you are a native or a visible minority - be our guests.
You are Gay and want to put yourself on display - go to it.
You take your clothes off for PETA or any other politically correct cause - no problem.
But if you are are group seen to be right of centre - look out - the State will seek you out and destroy.
Take the Jaworskis for example.
This poor family is facing fines of up to $50,000 for - brace yourself - holding an annual 2 day Libertarian Think Tank on their rural property near Orono Ontario - south of Peterborough.
This nefarious event occurs each summer and hosts up to "a few dozen Libertarians" the likes of Randy Hillier and Jason Kenney. Can you imagine.
(see front page of the National Post August 19, 2010)
Ontario's Ministry of Health first tried to shut them down and when that failed they were charged for using their property as a "commercial conference centre". Yeah - 2 days per year - some conference centre.
It is hard to imagine the Province being so vigilante if the Jaworskis were using their property to hold annual retreats for the Liberal Party of Ontario!!
The Jaworskis emigrated to Canada from Communist Poland so they know first hand all about State Control. I am sure though that little did they think they were in danger of being the subject of such arbitrary action in their adopted nation.
If the Jaworskis are in danger of such arbitrary and discriminatory action - we are all in danger.
If Libertarians cannot hold unobtrusive get-togethers, Parties of All Stripes need to sit-up and take notice because in time they will all be eventually targetted.
As I see it...
