PermalinkFrom Australia’s Herald Sun:
Canada is insane. The human rights industry, still trying to strip Mark Steyn of the right to free speech, includes Canadian Human Rights Commission lawyer Giacomo Vigna, whose feelings are astonishingly tender. Ezra Levant produces the transcript of Vigna’s last case, which was called off for the day after this submission:
One Response to “Australia claims CHRC’s and unserene Vagina are insane.”

Canada’s reputation is taking a shitkicking, there’s no doubt about it.
In the same way that there are moderate Muslims but no such thing as moderate Islam, there are reasonable Canadians but no such thing as a reasonable Canada.
For Ontarians and especially Torontonians, EVERY level of government - federal, provincial and municipal - threatens one’s freedom of speech.
It’s kinda funny when you stop to think about it. In hindsight, it seems, every English-speaking Canadian in English Canada should have learned Canada’s other official - and officially less “popular” - language way back when. That way, English Canada would be blogging in Canada’s other official language. Human rights complaints in Canada would be significantly reduced. To boot, ALL these complaints could be queued up in one of Canada’s three officially bilingual governments and thus the ONLY governments capable of hearing complaints. Canada’s national reputation wouldn’t be taking the shitkicking it’s getting at the moment, and “hate” in Canada could be labeled a “cheese-eating, surrender monkey” kinda thing (to use a Steynian descriptor). Just an amusing “Canadiana reverie” if you will…
Fact is, from reviewing the history of human rights complaints, I note a PECULIAR PAUCITY OF COMPLAINTS about Canada’s most “traditional” form of “taking offence” - anti-anglophone sentiment in Quebec and anti-francophone sentiment in Canada.
Isn’t that oh-so-very-interesting? I mean, REALLY! THINK ABOUT IT!
Not only is Canada - and especially Alberta, B.C. and Ontario - nurturing a “culture of complaint”, but that “culture of complaint” has been/is being imported. After 150 years spent “debating’ language without bankrupting citizens and squashing their rights to freedom of speech or freedom of religion in Canada, what has changed? Certainly not core nature of the dispute - difference between and among people.
What has changed, then? THINK about it. There are some things that are SO OBVIOUS it seems silly to have to WRITE THEM DOWN, especially in Canada in 2008. THAT would be DANGEROUS.
