The reason why they want to cancel Candice is because the "Loonie left" are scared to hear the truth about themselves.

[TheAldawg]

This shows labours true colours. They are afraid of ideas that they know are logically superior to their own, so instead of trying to come up with substance they just try to shut down their ideological adversaries.

[IsraelControlsOurSocialMed-px]

When you can not criticize something, when you can not question something, then you do NOT live in a free and tolerant world, just a world that the intolerant rule over you.

[deanspanley]

That's not unusual for a country that fears free speech.🐍⚖️☝️🔥

[donna]

They are afraid of her. Her doco on George Floyd is really interesting. Lately shes been looking into Kamalas family history. Shes very smart.

[markhartley]

I was taught to listen to other people's opinions. you may not agree with them but you respect their right to have an opinion.
This is blatant suppression. I'd be embarrassed to be an Australian politician .Shame on you

[MrPeteswife]

Maybe people should actually listen to her directly. She does address this on her you tube channel this morning. She takes a very clear headed approach.

[caravanlifenz]

When they silence a person, it makes me want to read up on that person's beliefs further as I want to know what the government is so desperate to hide. Candace Owens will probably gain a lot of views now that everyone is so curious about her.

[Redumbrellaacademy]

I’d urge anyone to cite her denying the holocaust

[hanamason]

What a joke. Allowing the government to dictate who comes into NZ because she may cause discourse is bloody pathetic. Let her in, let kiwis decide if they want to listen or not

[Redumbrellaacademy]

The Australian government simply brought more attention to her. Free marketing

[andrewcliffe]

I was left of centre
The left drives me ever more to the right
Won’t vote left again

[dadcooks]

I used to be centre left, the last 5 years have made me move so far to the right it’s crazy. I don’t think I’ve changed at all, but these sensitive left wing ideological scardy cats sure have. Why is everyone so scared to hear a different opinion. It’s just words.

[rolytnz]

Agree or disagree with Candace, if you listen to her and her reasoning, then you respect her position because she back herself with facts and logic. I recommend everyone watch her movie/doco "The Greatest Lie Ever Sold" about the BLM-grift - it's an eye-opener about the lies we have been told. OI sincerly hope our government is not a short-sighted and close minded to emulate Australia on this one.

[kaydring]

It’s about censorship- hate speech is the term being used to allow governments e governance implementation and surveillance plans more to this than what most people realise

[AndrewJackson-mfqp]

Candace only speaks in truth and is such a good speaker, but she does not suffer fools which is such a breath of fresh air in this day and age of fools. There's no such thing as hate speech.

[BronwynGillies]

Candice speaks the truth! That’s why they don’t want her here

[ryanwilson]

Australia is NOT a free speech country. Also look into Australias ACMA bill.

[heatherhall]

We in America are not afraid of hearing diverse views. We believe that the best arguments will win the majority of people. We are infinitely more afraid of overreaching governments who censor the people. History gives us good reason to hold both these views.

[katainz]

Candace Owen's speaks the truth and when you live in emotions, you can't handle it.
