KJ5, IOQ, NetController, returning briefly. So we can talk about the differences between the United States free speech and the idea of free speech, or as they call it in Canada, free expression. The differences between the United States and Canada are quite obvious. The Canadian Parliament can, has, and will continue to do so, but give limits of what people can and can't say outside of some preconceived notions, I would say. Canada doesn't have technically the right to free speech. They have the right to self-expression, and they only have that right within some pretty specific parameters, meaning that they could get in trouble for some of the things they say that Americans have the freedom to say. And I can show you some, you know, I can show you the, I forget what it's called, the Canadian, I'm trying to remember the laws of Canadians. Anyhow, and I can pull it up, I thought maybe a Canadian would actually know better than I would. Again, I've just done some digging and some research, you know. But it's interesting how, according to what I have found out, the stark differences between the United States and Canada when it actually comes to the application of free speech. And believe it or not, the UK is even worse than Canada in my mind when it comes to the idea of free speech because they don't have it codified at all. The UK has no right to free speech. None. They do have some right to self-expression, but it's heavily dictated by Parliament. None of it's codified into a law like the Constitution, the United States, or the Canadian, I want to call it the Constitution, but it's not their Constitution. Anyhow, what's a you? Without, you know, like I said, I didn't want to be adversarial, I didn't want to create any tension, but I did want to talk about the differences and if anybody's actually had any real world experiences, if it has been applied or not applied to you. So with that, we'll go up and start at the top of our list today. And if you also like talking about free speech, talk about anything you wish. Peter, V-E-1-W-I-N. The mic is yours.
