AHRC decision overturned by Court

On Thursday Dec 3, Court of Queen's Bench Justice Earl Wilson Alberta threw out the (much maligned) AHRC decision against Rev. Stephen BOISSOIN of Red Deer.

Judge Wilson ruled that Lethbridge lawyer Lori Andreachuk made errors in her decision, and that her order for the letter writer, [Rev.] Stephen BOISSOIN, to pay a complainant $5,000 and to refrain from making "disparaging remarks" about gays was illegal and unenforceable.   

This has been a long time in coming.  I am hoping it will lead to reigning in the power of the AHRC as well as other's across the country.  I have not seen comment from Ezra LEVANT yet.

Color Guard has no colour

"A tempest in a teapot dome" perhaps, this is a post I saw at Michelle Malkin's blog referring to the controversy over the U.S Naval Academy's Color Guard presence at the World Series.  The select group of soldiers was "reconstituted" to include a women and "non-white" soldier to represent the "diversity" of the Army.

Unfortunately the Color Guard has been through long tradition and history been selected on merit - and the fact that all are white males presumes that others of race and gender failed to meet the strict criteria.    Perhaps this year was a fluke, perhaps not. Perhaps it indicated discrimination, I don't know.  But for sure it stinks that the composition was altered at the last minute, obviously to be "Politically Correct".  It was made worse by a gag order given to the members of the Color Guard by base commanders regarding any discussion of the issue.
