History shows us that many ideologues praise the value of a united front when it suits their purposes but argue the opposite when speaking out against any policy or program they oppose.

I was not following politics at that time. If you wish to send me some links of their quotes, I can comment on it. I can promise you I'll give you my honest opinion on it.
Just to be clear here, I respect your opinion of "I support the right of all Canadians to question government policy at home and abroad." even if I may not agree with it.
I however did not agree that Free Speech is being violated here by asking that Mulclair tow the party line or keep quiet about it. Your initial drive by comment of "Right-wingers express misgivings about Free Speech" would have been much better served with your latest statement.
