S. 13 that CHRC!

Yesterday the Montreal Gazette ran a great piece on free speech pogroms masquerading as legitimate government tribunals. I don’t deny that they were created by proper legislative authorities and passed through proper channels but I will say that general Canadian ignorance and laziness has allowed them to transmogrify in the horrendous apparatus they now are. The article in the Gazette was outstanding, and sadly it echoes much of what I had intended to say, so to avoid plagiarism, I will refer you all to it and echo only this one key point its author so carefully addressed. Canadians are a tolerant bunch. We are, for the most part, proud of our multiethnic nation and proud to live in a tolerant society. As such, when something is called the “Canadian Human Rights Commission” – it sounds good, we like it, and we are suspicious of persons who would be dragged before it. I mean wouldn’t you have to do something obviously intolerant to be brought before one? You would think (read the article then come back to mine).
