	Elsie Wayne And Intolerance (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		In Wayne’s case, her failure to just go along with this social engineering project was branded as "rabid prejudice" by Tory MP candidate Scott Brison, a P.C. leadership candidate who appears to embrace a bigotry against those who speak their minds on an issue in a democratic discussion.
		One advocate for the "politically correct" cause says Wayne is "losing touch with the Canadian values of equality and respect." Well, it appears she has a firmer grasp on these values than those who desire to see debate one-sided and stifled, while reserving intimidation tactics for those who refuse to meekly toe the line.
		Elsie Wayne spoke out in opposition of an issue, and for doing so was met with intolerance by those who should have known better.
