Free speech is under attack in Canada more than ever. Remember when Daily Wire Editor-in-Chief Ben Shapiro headlined the First Canadian Freedom Summit held by Students in Support of Free Speech (SSFS)?

Since Shapiro left Toronto on June 29, things have drifted even farther toward actual fascism. In the past month, SSFS has been coming under attack from both the far-left and far-right, being characterized as a group of “neo-Nazi” “Zionist shills” who are simultaneously “homophobic” and “shoving homosexuality down people’s throats.” Yes, you read that correctly. Nazi Jews who are homophobic homosexuals. Everything makes sense when you’re wrapped up in identity politics.

So, what’s the backstory? On July 15, SSFS held a rally in support of the “Halifax 5,” a group of soldiers who held a peaceful protest during an indigenous ceremony — a demonstration that leftist media declared was a demonstration of racism, sexism, and genderfluidtransphobigotmania.

At this rally, Paul Fromm — a publicly known Holocaust denier — unfortunately got his hands on a megaphone to speak to the crowd. Mind you, this was at an OPEN MICROPHONE RALLY, where numerous members of Antifa were also given the chance to speak. Guess what Mr. Fromm said? Nothing hateful, nothing about the Jewish people, and nothing about the Holocaust.

More to the point, SSFS issued a formal disavowal of any association with Mr. Fromm via a video posted to Facebook. To the average leftist, it’s apparently clear that disavowing from Holocaust deniers that show up at events uninvited definitively means that the disavowing group is a group of Neo-Nazis. Leftist logic for you!

Last week, SSFS posted their support of an event being held regarding “Free speech and the Anti-Israel Mob” jointly being held by CIJR, Hasbara Fellowships Canada, and LGBTory

Within mere minutes, intelligent and responsible replies came flooding in. An example: “So SSFS is basically just a front group for Zionist shills now?” On the EXACT SAME POST, another Facebook user stated that it was, “Interesting that you'd let an antisemitic Neo-Nazi do this kind of event.” Simultaneous to these posts, SSFS received a one-star review, stating, “Again, the concept of Free Speech is only applied by this group to the speeches of those they agree with. Bigoted racists, Islamophobes, homophobes and anti-Semites make up this group of haters. Beware.” This was of course poetically outdone by anoter respondant — again ON THE EXACT SAME POST — who stated: “And now [SSFS]’s showing LGBT stuff down our throat? That's what happens when your leadership is totally Zionist”.

Most interestingly, many of the same people who called SSFS Neo-Nazis in past posts also came out against SSFS’ support of the event being held about the “Anti-Israel Mob.” Question: how many flavors does cognitive dissonance and hypocrisy come in?
