| Message | I may be saying too much, but there are some in my party who vote for this bill on principle and there are those who vote for politics' sake. Some want to see Palmer rot in prison simply because he is a Tory, a capitalist. As I am sure there are those types in every party. I don't care for Mr. Palmer's politics either, but he has the right to criticize anyone for whatever reason he thinks just. I believe, my friends, having been imprisoned and forced to do hard labor for violation of the law this bill will demolish, that we push the government to take positive action by demanding this law be enforced retroactively to affect those currently imprisoned or awaiting trial.

| Message | We fully support this bill. We want to protect free speech but within reason and speaking against the government is one of the most important freedoms to maintain. |
