Ding Dong! The HRC Section 13 Is Dead!

I'm loving this government. First the long gun registry is up for death by uselessness. Then the CWB loses it's monopsony power to jail our western farmers. They of course, like any good lefties, are whining to the courts, with our tax dollars. Violent criminals might actually get enough time in jail to understand that they did something wrong, thanks to a crime bill the lefties can't stand, because those poor, poor criminals didn't really mean to rape that women, or shoot that kid. Now, the next piece has fallen into place, the striking of the offensive section 13 from the HRC book of tricks.  No longer will people get persecuted for free speech because someone is "offended"!

The problem for censorshipminded activists is that proving hate speech in court is hard. Courts tend to abridge Charter rights such as freedom of expression only in the most extreme cases. It is unlikely that an antiimmigration screed on the Internet or a controversial editorial cartoon would prompt a real judge to shut down a website or fine a blogger. That's why most activists prefer to rely on Sec. 13 of the CHRA and its provincial counterparts (which should also be written out of the law), instead of the criminal code.

Now, real judges will hear real cases of hate speech, not the biased HRC employees. Now, a blogger stating their opinion on an issue will not have to worry about being hauled before the HRC for someone with "hurt" feelings. Kudos to this government for acting on this issue. Now, if "Red Ali" wants to keep Conservative votes, she will get rid of this odious section in Alberta's HRC, but I'm not holding my breath, not with what I have seen of her so far. 

Finally Ezra is seeing his dream come true!

Radical Conservative Candidate Booted!!!!

Oh, sorry, that WOULD have been the headline to this story, except it was a Radical LIBERAL candidate that had to be booted, so the story has all but disappeared from all media sites.

Nope, can't see the story here! I see they are still on the university students being booted out of a Conservative rally. No bias there. Move along folks, nothing to see here.

Way, way down at the bottom of the page, I finally found it! Even at the National Post, it has been buried, except that readers keep on clinking on the article and have made it one of the popular picks (#4):

Wow, Iggy was Shocked! I'm Shocked he has a candidate in Quebec running who has been charged with failure to blow, OOPS, wrong candidate. Okay, maybe it's this candidate? Yup, that's the guy. Media coverage, non-existent.

Meanwhile back at the Liberal media anti-Harper party, they are still promoting their newest "scandal", some people getting booting from campaign rallies. Activists might think they are scoring points, but what they do and say will come back to bite them, like this guy, who is getting his butt handed to him over at SDA's :

Izzy responds:

Hi everyone,

This is Izzy, the man in question. I would like to clarify that I was kicked out of the rally without being identified. Nobody that kicked me out knew my name or had researched me beforehand - it was by facial recognition only and no Facebook probing or anything. All the media did in fact, speak the truth.

I apologize for my comments as a young highschool student filled with angst at our governments actions FIVE YEARS AGO. Clearly a naive adolescent as many are at the time, I have grown and matured much since then and am well on my way to obtaining a professional degree. I hardly think my comments should come back to haunt me - it was a joke after all.

As well, I am open to all political parties as long as the issues I care about are represented in their platforms. If currently the only platform that does that is the Green Party, then yes I am proud to support them but that in no means should present a threat at a Harper rally. In fact, the Greens support communication and non-partisan open dialogue amongst people from all ends of the political spectrum.

I am also proud to be able to represent Jane Goodall to youth in Canada, and proud to have delivered the last lecture valedictory speech for my class, which some of you may be mocking, but it was most genuine and a highlight of my life. So please stop harassing me and get on with your lives.

Kate responds:

Izzy, you need to grow some integrity.

Your "vote mobs" are clearly Green Party organized, and thus the "non-partisan" claim from their organizers is intentionally deceptive.

You have the good fortune of a supportive media, but that doesn't excuse your dishonesty.

When the Prime Minister of Canada is being stalked by individuals who invoke hashtags like "surpriseHarper" and "trackHarper", it should come as no surprise when you're asked to leave.

Non-partisan groups don't target political parties. Don't treat us like we're stupid. You're not dealing with journalists here.

That is the beginning and the end of the issue. You are being dishonest. If you wish to be involved politically, then be truthful in what you do.

I'd suggest you begin by making calls to the reporters who were so willingly deceived and apologize.

I give the guy points for having the guts to post on SDA's, but as Kate points out, he is being completely hypocritical. Typical university student who needs to mature, but his posting about OUR PM needs to be considered as serious, and his coming a Conservative rally to protest the PM means he hasn't changed his views. Funny how the media hasn't picked up on this, just like they ignored the fact that an assistant for an NDP MP was front and center during the Ann Coulter protests.

Thank goodness for Blogging Tories. Sun News can't come fast enough for me. I am sick of my tax dollars going to biased media like the CBC. Why don't the lefties want the 1.3 BILLION the CBC gets yearly go towards solving poverty? HA!

Liberal CTV Gets Spanked!

Who better than Small Dead Animals to give us the lowdown.

"The stupidest decision ever made?"

Not only is CTV being exposed as huge Liberal champions, but the Sun media has been running a column by Brian Lilley about all the CBC abuses of our taxpayer money. Is it working?

These CBC stories are getting tedious. Sure looks like you're scraping the bottom of the barrel here.
Sometimes, less is more.

That comment is an excellent clue. Yes the reports on CBC are working. How do I know? Out of all the things my husband could have talked about today, he mentioned the CBC articles by Brian Lilley. Remember he is very non-political, so he is my weather vane on all things political. If something gets his attention, it is also getting the attention of all those other non-political people out there. Brain Lilley needs to keep it up. My husband is really mad that CBC is not disclosing their expenses. He actually wants the government to do something about it.

The time has come for the Conservative government to stop hiding from the issues that are important to Conservatives. The time is now for the Conservative government to start pushing the opposition. The time is now for the Conservative government to stop funding Liberal special interest groups, like the HRC's and CBC. Stop being pacifist, junkless wonders and go for the juggler. Stop the taxpayer funding of political parties, if the opposition don't like it, election here we come.

People want to vote for a party that listens to them, not a party that twists itself into a mini-me Liberal party. Get bold, grow some spine. The average non-political person is ripe for the picking. They want a party to vote for, not against.

Who Knew, Obama Can Sing Too!

Found from a comment on SDA's by Cjunk.



I think PM Harper is the real deal. Obama, not so much!
