Show Notes

In the first half of the show, we discuss the rule of law. Protesters blockading railways in Canada ignored court orders to disperse, but the police and government did nothing. Critics accused Prime Minister Trudeau of encouraging lawless behavior because it supports his favored causes. The second half of the show we talk about an article in a German paper that says hate speech laws in Africa are bad. These laws, they say, are based on the German hate speech law, which is good.
