I wish Canada had a politician like him.

The best quote I've ever read on the subject, made by a Canadian: "The minute you start playing with human rights, with conventions, with civil liberties, in order to say that you're doing it to protect yourself and others, you are going against those rights and conventions, you are no better than the person who doesn't believe in them at all." I like Levant, I like BCL, even a little Warren K - Somewhere in the middle is where it needs to be. Not some vague section in a code that does not even deign to allow itself to be governed by the standard rules of law. A lot of people died for that principle.

A tad presumptuous? or clueless? or just blind? look around - not a lot of support for 13.1- Who's venting? Com'on Jack - We all are.

"Mr. Boissoin and [his organization] The Concerned Christian Coalition Inc. shall cease publishing in newspapers, by email, on the radio, in public speeches, or on the Internet, in future, disparaging remarks about gays and homosexuals." No mention in the ruling of hate speech, no illegal comments were made but a lifetime ban. Maybe that's your version of Canada - Not mine. I don't even know how some people even call themselves Liberal.

In the case of Rev B - he made no illegal comments but disparaging ones. Good to know that in Canada disparaging comments are considered hate speech.

Ahh...no jail time but life time speech bans are acceptable.

and arguments mustered for the system tend to be self-serving crap. So somewhere in the middle there has to be a happy medium.

Lifetime speech bans for making disparaging comments - nice slap on the wrist. Allowing Dr's to be sued for refusing to do surgery on transgendered individuals, people being allowed to smoke pot in someones place of business? and someone anyone, please explain to me how being asked to wear a helmet for safety violates human rights? I mean how is being asked to wash your hands a violation of someones human rights? Not to mention all paid for by the taxpayer. What a crock of BS

"McLelland cites--they have more important things to be working on." Well that really sums up these commissions - Doesn't it :)

So Sec 13.1 is acceptable to you - because it's a cheap court? Sorry Robert - These commissions themselves have admitted to the truth not being important. Guilty until proven innocent. Maybe that is your version of a happy Canada but it's certainly not the one I served my country for. There off the rails and I think this is just the calm before the storm.

An example of extreme hate? Wow your a sensitive one. Maybe towards Christians. If that was hate, why was the Montreal Imam - who clearly advocated the death of Jews, women and homosexuals - Let go? The system is hugely flawed and you know that. Perhaps a move to Saudi would do you a world of good. I don't need any quasi judicial govt body telling me what I can or can't read, say or what is or isn't hate. Boissoin had his appeal, in a real court last week. The ruling will be very interesting.

If they meet the criminal code standard - then why has there never been any criminal charges laid? Yet tax free money awarded to Warman and everyone else who feels that their "human rights" have been violated. I say let the real police have at it. Let there be real judges and lawyers - We might get some where.

A mental exercise regarding Rev. Boissoin's order: imagine if an anti-gay bureaucrat had ordered a gay activist to apologize to a Catholic priest, and then to write a public renunciation of his gay lifestyle in a newspaper. It's unthinkable. At least to some. Sec 13.1 is not a cheap mans court. This is not about accessibility to some form some of personal justice. If you want that then the complainant should pay - not have it paid for. All cases should go before a real judge and follow the criminal code. The SCC made it very clear Sec.13.1 was supposed to used in "extreme" case's of "hate" not the current string of BS it used for now.

Macleans.ca : On a scale of 1 to 5, how badly do you want to go to the polls this fall?

Tue, 8 Sep 2009 16:32:21 +0000

I'll take Harper over the count or th NDP, or the Green or whomever else. I think people forget that Harper may have a "minority" govt - That was only short a few seats from making it a majority. What issues will be going to the poles over? The Liberals want to make "Social Conditions" a new "human right" or will we be voting on EI? That's cause to go to the polls - Just let me get my helmet, so I can run into the wall. Here is a novel idea - Why not let the government actually govern. There worse than a group of children, only there overpaid. I'll be voting against whoever calls us to the polls and squanders more of our tax payers dollars, for a result that will be exactly the same. I can hope Iggy does force the election. Harper just might get that majority.
