should bernier be at the debate?

elizabeth may can't really argue against it, without coming off as a hypocrite. singh doesn't want him there.

see, this is a point where anarchists break with communists, in that anarchists tend to position themselves more in the liberal tradition of free speech. just about every anarchist i've ever studied would argue that what you need to do in this kind of situation is let bernier discredit himself. if you find yourself in the position of being afraid that his ideas may spread if provided a platform, you're implicitly implying that you think he's on to something.

i don't think that bernier will help his own cause - he's the kind of politician that people like less, the more they hear of him.

i think there's a valid argument that he's wasting everybody's time. but, i don't want to exclude him on the basis of censoring him - i'd rather let him make a fool of himself. that is how we get rid of bad ideas, like ending supply management.

the liberals are supposed to do better than this.
