There are just 4 roadblocks between us and what we say we want. Some #CdnPol tweets until we have a new *elected* government.

"Democracy is under threat—so let’s limit who gets to speak", says the guy who locks replies. At least he's consistent. I guess true freedom depends on sanctioned speakers vs free speech. Hard to defend open discourse when you're afraid of replies.
