Jonas on Our Human Rights Commissions

From the Nat Post:

Whenever I think of Canada’s Human Rights Commissions, which has been frequently of late, Hamlet’s exclamation “O my prophetic soul” rings in my ear. I’m not talking about my soul, but The Bard’s. It’s hard to believe Shakespeare foresaw the adventures of Canada’s social engineers, but there it is. Looking far into the future is what visionaries do.

Remember how Hamlet and his former schoolmates, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern, were supposed to board a ship and deliver the letter of Hamlet’s uncle, King Claudius, to the King of England? Okay; think of the letter as the Canadian Human Rights Act of 1977. Then think of Rosencrantz as the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA), and of Guildenstern as the Canadian Jewish Congress.

  1. I just hope if we end up by some wonder stopping this zoo full of creatures of the night. That you & the others suffering under the heel of these Torquemada’s, will get some just compensation for the worry & hell they have put you threw. Plus legal costs

    Good article by Jonas, which just goes to show its better to have a real legal system with REAL protections than these evil jester’s who cause real harm to individuals. You piss in the wind, this is your re-ward. I believe these HRC’s have done that & more. Its all going to come down on them with no classiness left but the shell of a corrupt, tomb with a lot of decayed bodies Dexter like in their direction. Keep up your spirits. Nice to know at least your one of the good guys if not a political target. This may be the most important event in your life defending this freedom. G-D’s grace be on you.

  2. I can’t decide who says it better, George Jonas or Mark Steyn, but lord are they good!

    Sadly, the silence from Rob Nicholson is deafening on this critical issue of “Free Speech” that has been festering unnoticed for thirty years.

    Seems to me Doug Christie may have felt a few blows over the years in his defense of speech by being barred from speaking in the halls of parliament, if memory serves.
