CHRC's Achievement In Doublethink

CHRC has launched an "independent review" of its policies. Independent of what? - George Jonas asks in his National Post article. He provides a great review of the freedom-snatching commission, its policies as well as viewpoints held by the Chief Commissioner Jennifer Lynch:

To use a kinder metaphor, balancing perceived contradictions between freedom and human rights is Ms. Lynch's act on the high wire. Ms. Lynch seems proud of being a free speecher as well as a human rightser, presumably because she considers it an achievement in doublethink, defined as holding two contradictory notions in one's head.

"Freedom of expression is the foundation of a free, open and inclusive society. It must be preserved," Ms. Lynch intoned on Tuesday, then two paragraphs later said: "What is not permissible, however, is to use free speech as a cover for hatred."
...
In fairness, she isn't alone. Propositions such as "colliding freedoms" and "competing human rights" have spawned complex schools of legal-political thought that extend across the political spectrum. The result is liberalism lobotomized. For the purpose of social engineering, we call human ambitions "human rights," then enforce the first ("Boss, I want to be a foreman") at the expense of the second ("Not in my shop, Miss") to the point of absurdity until, in CHRC's utopia, a human ambition called "Doctor, I want to be a woman" trumps a human right called "I only do necks and noses, sir." Far fetched? There has already been an example.

Meanwhile, after a pro-HRC 'human rights' lawyer Pearl Eliadis singled out the Blazing Cat Fur blog as "poisonous" for being one of the most outspoken against the freedom-snatching committees, some at Free Dominion (and not just there) are wondering if the blog author is next to be targeted. Hopefully that doesn't happen. But you can never be sure nowadays.
