Lynn Beyak:

Senator Lynn Beyak should have known better than to say how she felt about the situation at the aboriginal schools in Canada. 

Doing so brought down the righteous wrath of every politician on Parliament Hill focused on pleasing voters in the politically correct, all-inclusive, lowest common denominator crowd. There's quite a few, and now we know who they are.

As a politician she ought to have known that Pierre Elliott Trudeau's (1982) Charter of Rights and Privileges guarantees her rights to free speech, but only if she is reckless enough to risk having them first challenged by the thought police and  processed through the law courts.

Apparently, there are many politicians focused not on freedom of speech, but only on getting elected.

Lynn, if you ever decide to run for Prime Minister, you have my vote.
