Human Rights shows its age

This image is inflammatory. It is beacuse I associate the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) with the vile repression associated with Hitler's Germany.

This article by Father DeSouza of the National Post is perfectly "pitched" to the current mood of the country. (But let me request a signature to support a petition the Conservatives to Remove Sec 13 of the CHRC .)

It is time to get rid of the HRC's in Canada. They have evolved into an instrument to smoother free speech. We must have the right to offend others by what we say (as long as no physical harm comes from it and nothing defamatory is said.) Otherwise political discussion - even unpopular discourse - will be at risk from a slow slide into PC chill.
