Boissoin
“There is nothing democratic about human rights commissions. They can be better described as a ” Supreme Conflict of Interest.” Consider: The Alberta Human Rights Commission hands out tax dollars in the form of public grants to promote very controversial social issues and at the same time they have the authority to rule on speech and punish opinion via their tribunals. This same applies in every Province.”
~ REVISIT VIA BOISSOIN— “Big pat on the back for Ezra Levant!!! “The Boissoin case may be blossoming into the most prominent of the conflicts between Christians and gay activists, partly because Levant has been so successful in harping on the story and spreading it. Having shown little concern about the national anti-free-speech apparatus for years, the Canadian public is beginning to notice.” …. (nationalreview.com)

~ LEFTY CERTAINTIES: “What has always struck me about Ms. Klein is that her world view admits no possibility of doubt, much less error. She knows the truth and sets out to find the facts that back her up. Chait, a rather more nuanced thinker, finds more than a few facts which shoot her down. Not that it matters: to the sort of people who read Klein, “truthiness” is more important than actual fact. And much more interesting.” This outlook applies to all the topics we discuss on FreeMarkSteyn …. (jaycurrie)
