| "Bigoted and unnecessary" |

A typical day's press for a now all but entirely discredited Canadian "human rights" racket: The Toronto Sun's Peter Worthington on the Canadian "Human Rights" Commission: The CHRC is, arguably, an often bigoted and unnecessary institution. The Calgary Herald on the Alberta "Human Rights" Commission: When Rev. Stephen Boissoin takes his case before the Court of Queen's Bench on Sept. 16, the court has a golden opportunity not only to right the wrong done to Boissoin, but also to strike down the law that gives the Alberta Human Rights Commission jurisdiction over matters of free speech. The Globe & Mail's Margaret Wente on the Ontario "Human Rights" Tribunal: It has ruled that an individual can be convicted for racism, even when it's totally unconscious... The decision makes for scary reading, because it says someone can be found guilty just for making someone else feel bad... According to the tribunal, “unconscious” discrimination is no different from “conscious” discrimination. And the onus is on the accused to prove he's innocent... As Toronto Police Chief Bill Blair has pointed out, the tribunal has set a standard nobody, however fair-minded, can meet. "Bigoted and unnecessary." "Strike down the law." "Scary reading." "A standard nobody can meet." The "human rights" regime is a jurisprudential abomination, and shames Canada. Ezra Levant has done more than anyone to re-frame the debate and ensure that the "human rights" commissions wake up to press clippings like the above every morning. To help Ezra keep fighting for freedom and to see off the SLAPP suits, we'll be holding a special Final Sockquidation Day fundraiser starting tonight at midnight. Oh, and don't forget Lindy Vopnfjord's Shakedown Song. |
