What if I were to ask you what are the most repressive governments around the world when it comes to freedom? Who suppresses freedom of speech and enterprise the most? You'd surely say North Korea. Iran. Russia. But what if I told you Germany should be on that list? That France should be on that list"and many other EU countries? Oh, and that Canada, where I'm from, should be on that list, too? I'm not saying those countries are the same as the fear-based, authoritarian societies of North Korea and Iran. Not by a long shot. But I am suggesting that some of the free countries are not, in fact, living up to their promises of liberty. And that many allies of the U.S. have gotten in the habit of using the government against political enemies or disfavored companies.
