Human rights commissions have become a demon
Janet Gritter Fenwick, St. Catherines Standard
...
And while HRCs garner contempt, more countries lash out at our government censorship and thought policing. A senator from Australia berated our rights agencies saying, "These quasi-judicial bodies have metastasized into partisan star-chamber tribunals that selectively file charges against those who espouse conservative political or religious beliefs."

Doctors, dignity and HRCs

As far as I can tell, there are two main differences between Canada's human rights inquisitions and the Inquisition that imposed religious orthodoxy over Spain way back when.

The game is up for Canada's anti-freedom censorious HRCs in the legislatures of the free world. Canada has become the model of the "don't do this" example....again...our other embarrassment being the $2 million duck gun registry that turned into a noncomplied with 2 billion dollar albatros still festering around Harpers's neck.
....with the CHRC abominations of civil rights he now has two rotting albatrosses around his neck going into election and has yet to mention he has even noticed the stench to the voter,... and international watchers seeing them festering more daily are marvelling at Harper's olfactory capacity to put up with a stink they smell as far away as Australia.... when will the stench get to him??
This has to be the consuming question going into this election...exactly when can we expect Harper to start acting like a libertarian-conservative?

WlM,
Great comment. I agree. Those are the only issues that I will vote on. If he doesn't mention them, I will not bother to vote.
We can only hope Mr. Harper will publicly acknowledge the growing concerns of his electoral base.
Don't "not vote"!!! Spoil the ballot and write your reason on it. the other way to get your "non vote" recorded is to refuse the ballot when presenting yourself at the polling station. If enough people do this there is no way that a governing party can say they truly represent their riding or the country.

Well the one thing this snap election call did was save Harper the trouble of explaining to the party members at the policy convention why he has not followed through on mandated ratified party policy and why he mutated the ratified policies agreed upon at the last convention, into some compromised flaccid parody.
The membership told Harper they wanted the duck gun registry scraped, not tinkered with and they wanted legitimate firearms ownership decriminalized by returning to the federal applicant certification system. That has not happened.
We wanted democratic changes for open-door accountable government...that has not happened...on the contrary, the cabinet and PMO became a fortress with limited access.
We wanted spending cuts and tax cuts by trimming excess....spending is up 23% and government grew by 5%.
Steve had a lot of 'splainin' to do to the membership....but the election call save him from that.
Now if he gets his majority I suppose all these policies in waiting will miraculously materialize???
Color me jaded.
Once again I must vote not with enthused confidence for change but as a matter of picking the lesser of 3 evils.
My vote this time is just to ensure that morbid collectivist dystopianism does not destroy what is left of Canadian's democratic and civil freedom by reinstalling a maintenance party which serves only to ensure the statist collectivst rot advances at a slower pace than the other 2 choices.
Advancing civil liberty and democratic change seems like a pipe dream in this situation. We went from hope with Reform's democratic populism to a state of quiet desperation with this reincarnated PC party.

Roughly 22% of voters voted in the last Alberta election. I'm working to get that number to 0%.
That's another way to cancel the idea that interventionists have some sort of legitimate moral mandate just because they take some vote, or because some number of folks say they agree. Morality is not a numbers game.
When it comes to my freedom I care not a whit how many people vote on it. I don't want people pushing me around with their vote, and I won't even try to push people around with mine.
