Do your homework. I stand by my comment as no exaggeration or hyperbole . This is a debate that occurred at the Canadian Journalists Associasion in Edmonton. I ask your readers after watching this video, if where no in real peril of losing all out individual rights including Drs, Teachers, Media, Religion, you name it. They want to creep into with programs. Doubt it, just google Barbara Hall. We are dealing with a deranged cultish group who have no supervision, but the power of the State behind them. They even talk in a language they only know between themselves . Making insane rulings , all with NO legal training or understanding being radical activists most of there lives. These are political appointee’s of the lowest stripe telling Canadians how to conduct there human affairs or how to think. Where’s your proof its just nothing?

See if in five years you consider Steyn 2008 hyperbolic or a smart man who did his research unlike most journalists today. "First they came for the Hyperbolians, and I said nothing…"

And Ken points out in the first sentence of this post that it's the British Columbia commission. Yet I agree, based on what I've read of all this, that you desperately need to clean up the mess you have in British Columbia. Shameful.

While your enthusiam is encouraging your fact-checking is not. Macleans is up against the BC Human Right's Tribunal (BCHRT) not the Federal Human Rights Commission (HRC). The complaint is under the BC Human Right's Code and has absolutely nothing to do with Section 13 of the Federal Human Right's Act (HRA). The BCHRT does not have a 100% conviction rate (that would be HRC complaints under Section 13 the HRA). Admittedly the BCHRT is a mess, but it is our own BC mess and needs to be cleaned up in BC. The federal HRC is its own problem. Cheers, A few quick notes about your blog posting. While your enthusiam is encouraging your fact-checking is not.

It strikes at the Natural rights of man. Liberties & freedoms for individuals, not collectives. To many men have died for our right to think or speak our own minds. To lose to totalitarians of any stripe this great boon fought for, bleed for. Is a betrayal of Canadian core beliefs by Ideologues. I see no tolerance only persecution from these tribunals. The process is the punishment. Its a secular inquisition. Excellent post by the way. If Mark Steyn loses can we really call ourselves free anymore? Just my opinion.
