Hat tip Francis Marion
Montreal comedian Mike Ward was hauled before Canada’s Human Rights Commission for making a joke.
(LANGUAGE WARNING:)
(This isn’t the first time this has happened, either; a few years ago, Vancouver comedian Guy Earle was also fined over ten thousand dollars for heckling back at some hecklers in a comedy club.)
We’ll tell you the joke Mike made and what happened next.
He and I laugh about this situation but of course, it is deadly serious. If we don’t push back against these censors, then fascism wins.
