These days in Canada, if you're feeling down and blue, and you think somebody hates you, you bring your case to a Human Rights Tribunal. And the people you think hate you get that knock on the door, celebrated in the literature of the Soviet Gulag, and wherever else ideology triumphed over humanity in the 20th century's painful course. Your daddy, your mommy, your brubber, or more likely some newspaper pundit gets dragged before a committee of smug, leftwing, humourless, jargon-blathering adjudicators. After long delays that are costly only to the defendant and the taxpayer (and justice delayed is justice denied), you will have the satisfaction of making your enemy squirm, in a kangaroo court where he is stripped of the right to due process, in which there are no fixed rules of evidence, in which the ridiculously biased “judges” make up the law as they go along, and impose penalties restricted only by their grimly limited imaginations -- such as ruinous fines, and lifetime "cease and desist" orders, such that, if you ever open your mouth again on a given topic, you stand to go to prison.
If you "care" enough, you can get away with murder. Or even just suppression of free speech. When there aren't enough Nazis to pester, they come for the rest of us.
And the really funny thing is that there are Islamo-fascists out there--but "caring" people only want to "understand" such thugs. Suppression of speech that is underway in Western Europe is taking place in Canada, too.
Are we naive enough to think that we can remain secure within our borders when the basic freedom to say what you think is snuffed out from the fear of the cost of defending what you might say?
How have we gotten to this point? Is nobody mad as Hell? Don't we even care?
