CHRC vs Free Dominion — What The [Censored]?!

How many CHRC bureaucrats does it take to investigate a Conservative website? Believe it or not, it takes 13 of them. And all they could show for over two years of "hard work" it is that the work is still in progress.
That’s about all the information that’s available from the access to information response provided by the CHRC to Free Dominion.

I’ve never seen such a laughable disregard for Canada’s freedom of information laws as this reply is. Seriously, click here (large file) to see 23 whited-out pages, yielding no information whatsoever.
...
First, the fact that the CHRC has refused to give any substantive information to Free Dominion, while clearly having a large file on them, shows how abusive the CHRC is. It’s a kangaroo court that treats the people it investigates not only with political contempt (the CHRC’s Dean Steacy compared Free Dominion, a legitimate conservative website, to the neo-Nazi website Stormfront, on page 5766 of this hearing) but without any regard for procedural fairness. They’re a bunch of bullies – not surprising, given that Jennifer Lynch is their chief.
If you're still unfamiliar with this character - check out this article. It gives a lot more understanding on who Jennifer Lynch is and what kind of "human rights" she's promoting.

It's hard to comment on Ezra's articles without repeating what he's already said. So I'll just ask a rhetoric question: with the economic conditions being that bad and with the budget deficit threatening to consume all the recent years' debt repayment, why can't our supposedly Conservative government just fire them all?

At the very least, we can just give Ms. Lynch a shovel and a minimum wage paycheck and send her to clean sidewalks and driveways. The cost of her 5-day trip to Ireland alone would have been enough to keep her employed until the snow melts. And it would have been far more beneficial to Canadians as well.
