She’s not elected to anything, so you’ll just have to trust that she has your best interests in mind while she helps the law “evolve.” Give yourself another pat on the back for assisting the Commissioner: you pay her salary.
[Windsor Star]. “The current debate on how to balance freedom of expression with the need to protect Canadians from hate messages in the Internet age is an important one,” [Jennifer Lynch] said.
Lynch said Internet-related complaints make up about two per cent of the 12,000 to 15,000 complaints received by the commission each year. But there’s growing public interest and continued advances in technology that all point to a need to examine issues surrounding hate on the Internet, she said, adding that the commission is dedicated to ensuring that the Canadian Human Rights Act remains effective. “Legislation must evolve — when necessary — to respond and reflect changes in society.”
The rest.

“Of all tyrannies a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies, The robber baron’s cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience. “ – (C.S. Lewis, In Freedom)
Hello? Is this bitch serious when she says that “…advances in technology…point to a need to examine issues surrounding hate on the Internet…”
Ahem! In other words, now that the technological means to suppress freedom of expression are available to us, we must use it? Except the “we” does not include ordinary Canadian citizens; rather, the “we” refers to the fascist ideologues who work for ‘human rights commissions and tribunals’.
Hello?
That is akin to asserting that now that “we” can genetically engineer human beings by altering with DNA strings, we should do so.
Have these people no moral or ethical moorings whatsoever? It certainly seems that way.
Rather like Canada as a whole, adrift in a sea of suicidal anti-American sentiment and nanny-statism and under the impression that this makes “us” different and admired by others. It does not.
Canadians REALLY need to travel a bit more in order to learn how very foolish Canadians look to others (whose opinions actually matter a tad.)
