Free speech? Meh, a term used only by those who barely know what it means.

It's so bad, that even non-Americans have to watch what they say. A Canadian Liberal MP, Carolyn Parrish, was actually kicked-out of the Liberal Party of Canada when she stepped on a Bush doll on a satyrical comedy show, called This Hour Has 22 Minutes, a few months after she called him a "moron" and after she said "I hate those bastards" in reference to the Bush administration. Yeah, North Americans are becoming a sensitive lot these days.
