Incorrect. She praised Charlie Kirk as an "outspoken advocate for faith, family, and freedom".

A conservative defending "diverse perspectives" is the liberal (idealist) concept of free speech -- strong hypocrisy. I know little about Canada, but in the US, for example, the regime allows "free speech" for racism, misogyny, homophobia and transphobia; but anti-genocide protesters are brutally repressed by the police. Students are expelled; diplomas are canceled; immigrants (including legal) are deported. Assange was detained for over a decade and almost died in prision. Edward Snowden is in political exile. The Black Panthers were massacred. McCarthyism. Federal funding is cut from universities that allow political dissent.

The regime allows speech that does not destabilize the regime. The US regime allowed Charlie Kirk to spread his bile because that bile posed not threat to the ruling class.
