Complainers Wanted, Nothing But Hurt Feelings Necessary

What could be worse than a government department which does nothing except giving out generous paychecks for themselves? A department that must get others in legal and financial troubles to show its importance - so the stream of paychecks and lucrative business trips never stops. And since "human rights" complaints are down 15% year over year in Alberta, the province's freedom snatching committee began targeting immigrants.

Ezra Levant wrote an excellent review of a brochure which the Alberta HRC has issued to familiarize newcomers with their grievance industry. Judging from the sample stories, newcomers and minority groups are encouraged to constantly hunt for a reason to file a "human rights" complaint against their neighbours, co-workers, employers - anyone they believe may be "discriminating" against them.

It took too long for a waiter to come and then the waiter was rude? That must be discrimination! And don't tell me there are thousands of reasons why a waiter may be impolite. We all know that a waiter is no one but a closet racist who didn't like the color of the customer's skin. And if so - could there be a reason not to haul him in front of a quasi-judiciary tribunal known for it's 100% conviction record?

Other stories are just as pathetic. None of them are actual stories. There were no complainers with those names. None of the stories resemble actual complaints; not even closely. But their message is clear - every tiny thing that hurts your feelings is good for a "human rights" complaint. Unless you're one of those ignorant bigoted folks that aren't "identifiable on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination"...
