Hellooooooooooo Canada . . .
Are yous guys waking up YET???

Canada now is a totalitarian theocracy. I see this as a country ruled today by what I would describe as a secular state religion [of political correctness]. Anything that is regarded as heresy or blasphemy is not tolerated."

That is a very good analogy.Just as criticizing the doctrines of the dominant religion is not allowed in a religious theocracy, the regime of multiculturalism cannot allow any deviations from its fundamental doctrines that all people and cultures are of equal value(except white males and Western culture) and that certain groups are favored and cannot be criticized

I posted this article on a Canadian Free Republic-like forum, and I'm betting that it will for the most part go unremarked.

If past experience is any guide, it will be read but there will be few, if any, comments posted.

Canada -- human rights abuser.

[OXENinFLA]

BLAME CANADA!!!

First and Second amendments protect the USA, and the communist to the North know this.... we can hope, that soon there will be and additional 3 states and two separate nations to the North.

No wonder there are so many Canadian flag stickers here in Virginia. It's because their own country sucks but America doesn't know it yet.

At least here in the U.S. we can say things like master/slave without worrying about fines or being thrown in jail... or is that not too far away?

We all need to read Orwell's 1984 again -- particularly his desription of "thoughtcrime".

Bump.

It's always interesting to see what you have chopped out.

"University of British Columbia Prof. Sunera Thobani, a native of Tanzania, faced a hate-crimes investigation after she launched into a vicious diatribe against American foreign policy. Thobani, a Marxist feminist and multiculturalism activist, had remarked that Americans are "bloodthirsty, vengeful and calling for blood." The Canadian hate-crimes law was created to protect minority groups from hate speech. But in this case, it was invoked to protect Americans."

Regarding this incident involving Sunera Thobani; a complaint was filed, a brief and desultory investigation determined there was no cause for action and the complaint was dismissed.

Wow. If that wasn't hate speech, there ain't a cow in Texas.
Their hate crime laws are no more rational than ours.

When will people realize that the leftists are the fascists?

When they get around to believing you instead of the dictionary, I guess.
One of the definitions of fascist is reactionary.  And a reactionary is--

"An opponent of progress or liberalism; an extreme conservative."

[austingirl]

I don't know what dictionary you are using but mine, Webster's, says it is an autocratic system of government characterized by strict social and economic regimentation. Sounds like the repressive politically correct speech movement by the left to me as well as their desire to tax us into oblivion.
