An internet success story: Shakedown by Ezra Levant

Evil exists—evil people, I mean. Take Barbara Hall. She’s “Chief Commissioner” of the Ontario Human Rights Commission (HRC). That’s a place where someone can go and tattle on his fellow Canadians when he feels his “human rights” have been violated. The beautiful thing is, he gets to decide what those rights are and how they have been violated.

No complaint is too frivolous! And there cannot be too many of them. In fact, Hall doesn’t think enough Canadians are ratting each other out because she wants the number of complaints to “spike”: she desires to boldly seek out “known and unknown causes of discrimination”! The fact that this spike would boost her budget and secure her position are incidental considerations, of course.

My favorite is the case of Beena Datt who cried rights! after she insisted on her fundamental human need to not wash her hands. Datt, who worked at McDonald’s sliding out hamburger patties, claimed a skin condition barred her from being clean. McDonald’s took sympathy and gave her two month’s sick leave—with pay. When she returned, she still refused to wash. So McDonald’s—that corporate unfeeling rights abuser—gave her more sick leave with pay. About two and a half years worth of leave, that is. But since every job, even the manager’s, requires hand washing, and nobody wanted to buy burgers from a woman with a skin condition who refused to wash, they eventually fired her.

Another liberalsocialistcommie moron.
The answer lady is Human Nature.
I discrimination every day every hour of every day. Everyone does. Always have always will. It in everything you do.You choose one morning paper over another. You listen to one radio staion instead of severalother choices. You watch certain TV shows and never watch certain other ones.
I hate tomatoes my wife loves them.
I love beef my wife does not and will steer(pun intended) as clear of it as she can.In other words she discriminates against beef.
We do the same each day at workand socialfunctions. Some people we like being around some people we cross the room to avoid. As long as we do no pyshical harm to the ones we dislike IT IS NONE OF YOUR FREAKKIN BUSINESS. You have no right nor any power to make me like a person or group of people that I chose formy own reasons not to like. deal with it.............

"[Ted Kennedy] knew creating HRCs in the USA would be impossible. But he could, surreptitiously—how devious! how bold!—place a “hate crime” amendment that would mimic an HRC’s goals into a defense appropriations bill. They’ll never look for it there! And this he did. Yesterday."
