I’ve never cared for Trudeau. He’s too much the self righteous reverse-biggot that gives the Left a bad name. But I can’t disagree with his comments up to a point. Free speech is a right but one that should be used with a sense of responsibility. Charlie Hebdo did push it to push it. But that doesn’t excuse people attempting to resolve their anger with violence. I Hebdo and the hate group behind the recent Texas situation were in the wrong, but that shouldn’t have cost anyone their lives.
How many people a year in the U.S. are killed because they “dissed” someone in a rival organization or gang? Sometimes you do have to take care whom you enflame, look what happened to Saddam when he “disssed” the Bush family. (no collateral damage there)

Misreading other cartoonists instead of misreading politicians makes for a nice break.
