An 80 year-old man is jailed for having an objectionable answering machine message.With the leadership debates slightly more than two weeks away, we still have the opportunity to e-mail the debate organizer and submit our question. So let's make sure the freedom of speech issue is in. Let's ask the party leaders - what steps (if any) are they willing to take to defend our freedom of speech as well as our right to a fair trial?
A weekly magazine is brought before a legal tribunal because of an editorial cartoon.
A pastor is given a gag order and is forced to renounce his religious beliefs.
This sort of thing can’t happen in Canada, right?
Think again!
Everyday Canada’s Human Rights Commissions hear ludicrous case that have nothing to do with the basic rights and freedoms provided to us under the Charter.
Instead of hearing cases of true discrimination, our Human Rights Commissions have evolved into absurd theatre productions designed to protect people’s feelings and censor free speech at the taxpayers expense.
Annually, these commissions cost Canadian taxpayers approximately $68 million. That is $68 million of your money creating an atmosphere of political correctness gone mad.
Let's see if at least one of the major party leaders is willing to stand up to those freedom-snatching commissions. Let's see if we have at least one true statesman who is ready to what's right: to abolish the HRCs and to rewrite the Human Rights Act, so that disputes involving human rights and constitutional freedoms get settled in the court of law, not in a quasi-judiciary tribunal where truth is not a defense.
