BTW, some of the best writing about the attack on Free Dominion has come from member Theresa:
Not in order:
I find this to be so appalling that I am at a loss for words. Our tax dollars pay the salaries of these people and this system. This is inhumane to do this to someone, policy and procedure, cover my butt, before treating my fellow human being like a person. Meanwhile you have to wait and worry plus look after your children your home and the rest.
Canada what have we done to ourselves?
Did a better democracy exist then this great country before this nonsense took hold of our country?
Was my grandfather buried alive at Vimy Ridge for this Canada?
Did my husband lose a part of his father, because he fought in Europe for four years defeating Nazis, for this Canada?
Do you people on the left appreciate the sacrifices that have been made for you, by those who fought and by those who loved the ones who fought, to live in freedom you have enjoyed. Now you live in prosperity and you want to take those same freedoms from others?
I truly feel like walking away from the whole mess of the world and living my life quietly and as best that I can. If this country wants to be so stupid and whiny then let the chips fall where they may. It will not be pretty when those chips fall. I guarantee you that the people of today who cannot handle offensive speech, will not be able to handle a real fight to protect their country when anarchy breaks loose.
So many of my hopes were put on Harper to change some if this nonsense and he does not seem too concerned about principled conservatives, a little lip service here and there. Where can a person turn? I have been worried about this charge since it broke. Worried for you personally Connie and Mark, selfishly worried for myself, and worried for our country and our freedom of expression.
As paycheck stated, everyone will be a little more careful because somebody is watching and listening ready to silence their opponents. Is this the country we want? To be treated as children. To whisper so nobody can hear what we really think? Do you lefties actually think that you can suppress thought after you have suppressed the speech you do not like?
RSF, I truly do not mean to pick on you, but you are a prime example of a leftie. A truly nice person, with a sense of humor and fun, but you do not seem to handle anyone saying anything that you construe as criticism or rude to your person. What kind of life is that? This is what happens when you live in an insulated world of phony politeness, and political correctness. You do not learn to defend yourself or to identify with anything substantive. Its like overprotecting a child when they are young and they do not build an immune system to fight off the serious attacks when they are older. I truly hope that you stick around and let the men and women here toughen you up, you will become a happier person I am sure.
This is actually scarier then I originally thought it would be. A person can put people through this mess both emotionally and financially, (you already need lawyers) because she feels discriminated against by a comment that has no association with her person in any way shape or form. Is this for real? Unbelievable. I am truly stunned.
How much money do we Canadians pay for the HRC?
...
This is whole ordeal is nuts, this is further reason the CPC will not get a dime from me until they cleanup wasted spending like this.
I woke up this morning asking myself how dare this woman waste our money like this. She found Bill on a public forum she could have debated him fair and square, she has the educational credentials , surely she can engage in a debate. No she remains hidden and brings a case like this to the CHRC.
How dare the CHRC waste our money like this by proceeding with this frivolous case?
This is insanity. We have Canadian men dying in Afghanistan, fighting the extreme version of Islam, and people at home behaving like this Gentes, trying to suppress a fellow Canadians freedom to speak.
To have an effect, can everyone reading this send out the link to this blog or any blog that sums up this case to your personal email list, especially conservative members?
