Re:\u00a0 censorship of WiFi content in Tim Horton’s outlets<\/span><\/strong><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
Your company is well-known around the world as a genuine\u00a0Canadian symbol\u00a0and as such carries the responsibility of reflecting and supporting Canadian values.<\/span><\/div>\n

One\u00a0of the most important – if not the most important value – is freedom of speech.\u00a0 Successive Governmentshave dedicated the country to its preservation and over one hundred thousand patriots have given\u00a0their lives in its defence, including comrades and relatives of\u00a0the writer.\u00a0 For this hard fought freedom to be trashed by dubiously-motivated individuals who in all likelihood have sacrificed little or nothing\u00a0in building a\u00a0democratic society\u00a0in\u00a0Canada, is both a betrayal and an insult\u00a0to your clients as well as your esteemed company and the country, especially Veterans.<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n
I recommend strongly, therefore\u00a0that you reconsider your censorship of Arthur Topham’s Radical Press. I know Arthur to be 100% patriotic, a conscientious freedom-fighter\u00a0and righteous in all his endeavours.\u00a0 He deserves acclaim, not abuse.<\/div>\n
