by Christine Douglass-Williams (Author)
Those who would stifle free speech are drawing ever closer to home. The forces of tyranny - whether communist, fascist, globalist, or Islamic - know that unfettered free speech is the front line of defense against subjugation of the individual to the domination of the collective. Constraining free speech is thus always the first step to crushing the human right to freedom of belief and conscience.
Christine Douglass-Williams, an immigrant to Canada from the Caribbean nation of Trinidad and Tobago, served as an appointed Director on the Board of Directors for the Canadian Race Relations Foundation from 2012-2017, until she was summarily removed on the basis of specious accusations of "Islamophobia."
This monograph is her deeply personal account of what was done to her. But it is also something much more important. For, while the arbitrary and discriminatory treatment of an individual Canadian citizen is a story worth telling in its own right, its broader implications for the future of free expression and all other individual rights in that important Western nation that makes this work so valuable.
