Yes, members of the RCMP did set fire to barns. This was proven by the McDonald Commission. And what is more, they were rewarded with promotions.
It is hypocritical to delude oneself about what went on, what was done. What I have just mentioned really happened and can be verified. As to limits being imposed on the rights to organize and associate, I would point out that there are limits to freedom of expression and that hate propaganda is prohibited. No one with any sensitivity in Canada protested because people were sentenced for disseminating hate propaganda, and quite rightly so.
I am in agreement with that. Hate propaganda should not be part of the right to freedom of expression, and neither should giving constitutional rights to the Hell's Angels.
