Misleading title. Yes, Charlie Kirk's assassination sparked a conversation about the importance of free speech and disavowing political violence. The standing ovation was not for Charlie, but for the outcome of that speech.

Still, you'd think they'd at least TRY to be reasonable with the optics of the conversation.

But isn't what Kirk did constitute as hate speech here in Canada. We don't have freedom of speech, we have freedom of expression.

He didn't deserve to die but he was toxic in every sense of the word.
