ICYMI #ThoughtCrime has been a thing in Canada for decades. . .

Recent evidence of that is how certain #Canadian #activists face "harassment" charges for expressing their thoughts in writing.

Funny how the BS charges against Yves Engler being dropped has not been reported in mainstream media. . .
