There goes free speech.

Alan Borovoy, general counsel for the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, said he never imagined the human rights commissions would be used to undermine freedom of speech. He said that acting as censors was “hardly the role we had envisioned for human rights commissions.”

My thoughts:

1. It is a myth that Canada has free speech.
2. Mr. Borovoy - duh!

It intends to defend itself vigorously should the CHRC proceed.
But that's exactly what the Human Rights Commission wants. A stronger defense means more filings, more paperwork, more lawyers fees, more procedural fees and more publicity for them. They are in the Legal Schlock business and the more people who "defend themselves vigorously" the better they like it. After all, they can't lose. Everyone accused of a Human Rights Violation -- as long as the "victim" is either gay or Muslim -- is guilty by definition.

Best not rile the mentally deranged, sexually disoriented, diseased, degenerates. They’ll come out of the bath house and get you. Eh?

In February 2007 Rob Wells, a member of the Pride Center of Edmonton, filed a nine-point complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission alleging that Catholic Insight had targeted homosexuals as a powerful menace and innately evil, claiming it used inflammatory and derogatory language to create a tone of “extreme hatred and contempt.”

Catholic Insight responded to these charges in its January 2008 issue, saying the complaint consists of “three pages of isolated and fragmentary extracts from articles dating back as far as 1994, without any context.” Catholic Insight continued, saying, “these isolated quotes are not meaningful without the contexts of the articles themselves from which they were culled; in fact, most of them are even out of context from the sentences from which they were taken.”

The ACLU, CAIR, and other hate or communist organizations seem to have the same play book. That is, they use their enormous resources to intimidate, extort, threaten, and misuse courts, to silence and cause economic damage to their intended targets. Whether it be Mike Savage, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, the Catholic Church, or a passenger on an airplane who reports suspicious behavior. When will this outrageous conduct stop?

For another, very chilling case of the Canadian HRC, check out the videos. Our Jewish friend is standing tall for all Christians. God bless Mr. Levant.

A new front is coming to end these political courts. The time is now, to fight, donate, speak out, contact media and political leaders with our outrage about the lefts thought police and judges.
