Regarding the First Amendment
The First Amendment to the United States Constitution prevents the government from restricting free speech. It does not prevent a private entity (like Wikipedia) from regulating what content it chooses to display on its own website (Wikipedia has as much a right to self-determine a content as you have to your own free speech on your own server). is a Canadian citizen so trying to force the American First Amendment on her makes about as much sense as a Saudi enforcing Sharia Law on you. Amendments to the Constitution of Canada have names instead of numbers (e.g. "Manitoba Act, 1870," not "First Amendment"). The oldest of these doesn't concern free speech. Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms concerns free speech. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:03, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
