Isn't Canada already a "free speech zone"? This is sounding like China.

Unfortunatly this it what it comes to when you get irresponsible people who start fires, riots, etc. at pretty much every other major left wing kind of protest.

{The head of security for the 2010 Games, RCMP assistant commissioner Bud Mercer, told Vancouver city council on Tuesday, however, that protesters will not be required to limit their activities to the areas.
"You're free to use them, if you like, but anywhere you participate in lawful protest is legal and lawful in Canada. It doesn't have to be in a free speech area," said Mercer.}
I don't understand the need for these free speach areas if you can protest any where you like anyway.
