CAFE was founded in 1981 and claims to be committed to the promotion and defence of total freedom of speech and opinion, which it sees as essential to the functioning of Canadian Democracy . It began in Ontario , although it has since also been incorporated in Alberta . CAFE enshrined its aims in a Charter of Rights and Freedoms in 1982 and publishes a ''Free Speech Monitor'' ten times a year. Recent campaigns by the CAFE have included organizing demonstrations for the release of Brad Love, whom it claims is a political prisoner jailed for expressing his Anti-immigrant sentiments (co-organized with the Canadian Heritage Alliance and the now defunct Northern Alliance ), as well as campaigning for the release of Ernst Zündel and David Irving . The CAFE has been very vocal in what it sees as injustices against , arguing that it does not simply support the free speech of Far Right groups but also endorses their opinions. CAFE leader Paul Fromm has also been called a Neo-Nazi due to his links with a number of far-right political parties and allegations of Holocaust Denial . The movement is also a signatory of the New Orleans Protocol , indicating a kinship with White Nationalism . SEE ALSO EXTERNAL LINKS |
