“It’s foolish to assume the abuses of the CHRC will always be confined to folks you dislike. “First, they came for the neo-Nazi losers in basements and I did nothing. Then they came for the fundamentalist Christians and homophobes and I did nothing. Then they came for the blowhards like Levant and Steyn and I did nothing…” You really think everything you say about everything you care about can be kept sufficiently bland and innocuous that you’ll never attract their attention?”
