Could this be some sort of reverse McCarthyism, where the young of the leftist from the 50s and 60s have grown into power? And are now taking its cold, sweet revenge on behalf of their disgruntled elders?
Then, after they have subdued their own, they will set their sights on the next regime that dare speak up.

Re: The appendixes….Jay do we need any louder statement on where the CHRC witch hunter mindset is coming from?

Morbid paranoia of public exposure to the quisling-like tattling and spying on political targets.

I find it disgusting this type of soviet-styled political spying on citizens goes on in my County.

Rod, probably. And, likely out of context too. Eventually you get used to it.

Y’all do know you are going to have these insensitive comments quoted and re-quoted endlessly by the Left to show how nasty right-wingers are? It’ll be like Steyn’s “people with wheelchairs stuck in the WTC” or Coulter on the 9/11 widows all over again.

Having said that, learning that Dean Steacey is vision-impaired does help explain why he dismisses freedom of speech as an “American concept” which Canadian HRCs should give no weight. Remember how the First Amendment was abused in the US to whip up hatred, even pogroms, against blind people. Never, ever forget how Helen Keller was, like, forced to hide in her family’s attic for years, after she returned from Samoa. Free speech can be, and has been, abused to provoke violence against marginalised political minorities. Therefore it ends the moment someone claims that they’re offended.

I’m very angry with the CHRCs, my anger isn’t directed at the unwashed masses called employees though. My anger is directed towards those in Management Positions that allowed the employees like Warman and Stacy to act unethically vis a vis “Entrapment” and “Setting People Up”. Management and the Minister’s responsible for the CHRC are whom I’m angry at, and their lack of accountability really pisses me off. Warman and other CHRC staff that have BEEN allowed to “Entrap” the public are doing so with complete support from their superiors. Yes thier lack of moral fiber bothers me, but it was those in charge that allowed them to act unethically. My opinion only.

Steacy has got to learn - “The Marketplace of Ideas” don’t take Cheks.
