I did not anticipate leaving the notion that only certain classes of people have rights in Canada. In this country, citizens may exercise their rights---yelling "fire," of course, is beyond reasonable limits of expression everywhere, Jim---without fear that they can be punished for doing so.
It would be against the law to fire a pro-choice employee of a condom manufactur if that person campaigned publicly against abortion or picketed with placards at the company gate. I said in my first post that I didn't know how it works in the United States. This is how it works in Canada.
The dollar has nothing to do with it. Should the pro-choice evangelical's activities affect the condom manufacturer's bottom-line, that's a price of freedom of dissent. Nothing's stopping the manufacturer from his right to have his say with five-colour ads or airtime. He can't deprive employees of their livlihood.
The will of the American and Canadian people is expressed through their legislatures. Your great republic is expressing its will today.The United States of America was born in dissent. It may choose a son of slavery with middle name Hussein for its highest office. It's the American way. Let freedom reign.
