My complaint had two parts, discrimination and reprisal. The first has been settled; after a Human Rights Commission investigation found York's practice to be discriminatory and the Commission decided to refer the matter to the Tribunal for adjudication, York ended the practice. The second part focuses upon the reprisals undertaken by York against me in response to my efforts to end the discrimination.

The ruling may prove indicative of the HRTO's "bent".
It seems pretty clear to me that the CPC has abandoned its fiscal responsibility and any sense of principle with respect to things like the repeal of s. 13.1 and the elimination of the CHRC’s censorship role. They are certainly not speaking to the issues which I think conservatives should be thinking about. So, frankly, it comes down to a choice of leader, policy having been abandoned.
As regular readers will already know, I have never had much time for Harper. But his cravenness in the face of the recession, his government’s ineptitude in protecting Canadian citizens abroad, his utter unwillingness to put a stop to the censors at the CHRC and his all round dweebiness leave me entirely unimpressed. Were he a dweeb of principle I might stick with the CPC; but he isn’t. He’s just slithering, hoping that the polls will pop another four points.
...
I won't condemn Jay for his stance, his thoughts on the CPC's inaction on Section 13 (1) echo my own. If you're going to vote for a brokerage party, it may as well be the Liberals.

I suppose I should have been tipped off by the fact that the surgeon who performed my Mom's angioplasty last Friday couldn't be bothered to check up on her afterward. This same surgeon discharged her Saturday morning from TGH, Toronto General Hospital - by phone.
Tuesday afternoon my Mother suffered a "False Aneurysm", this, the paramedic explained, is a fairly common side effect that may have been caused by the anti-clotting medication she has been prescribed. However I read now that "The most common cause of pseudoaneurysm is femoral artery puncture during cardiac catheterisation." Hmmmm, thanks for that followup Doctor. An angioplasty requires that an incision be made in the groin in order to access the femoral artery via which they transport the stent that keeps a plugged heart artery "open". Her femoral artery opened up like Hoover Dam. The thigh and groin swelled with the mass of blood that collected till it looked like someone had taken a baseball bat to her, inflicting perhaps the largest bruise you ever saw.
She was scared, in a great deal of pain and very weak by the time she hit TGH's ER, though commendably the paramedics had stabilized her - this was 6:20 PM. The paramedics stayed with her, monitoring her vitals and answering my questions as best they could until well after their shift ended at 7. At 8:30 PM, in order to release the paramedics my 84 year old Mother was officially admitted to TGH. Admission consisted of moving her from the ambulance gurney to a hospital gurney and pushing her 20 yards down the corridor, next to the homeless guy with the festering sores on his legs. The attentive care of the paramedics was replaced by - nothing.
We waited nearly an hour for a resident to finally stop by and enquire what the matter was. Appallingly, she had no prior knowledge of why my Mother had been admitted. My shock increased after she asked, in all seriousness, if the angioplasty had been a success. I can only assume that the look on my face caused her to retreat and summon the physician on duty. Exhibiting Solomon like wisdom, the attending doctor suggested that a physical examination was in order. She then disappeared with the resident in tow. A nurse was dispatched who informed us that my Mother would have to be undressed for the examination. Since this Angel of Mercy made no offer to assist, I took it upon myself to undress my bedridden mother in a public corridor, in full view of the passing parade of visitors, patients and staff. (Truth be told, the homeless guy was pretty discrete, or at least preoccupied.)
Mom was eventually examined, in the public corridor, and an ultrasound ordered, all while a street person dumped a filled adult diaper on the floor and replaced her own soiled bed linens in the ward next to us. At this point we were informed that the vascular surgeon would be called in to interpret the ultrasound. The Ultrasound technician showed up earlier than anticipated and Mom had her pictures done shortly before 11 pm. This procedure afforded Mom some privacy as they chose to conduct it in the unused examination room next to her "room" in the corridor. Our Angel of Mercy, the nurse, made her second appearance, sticking her head in to enquire "Who left her like this?" - -Mom had been left in a partial state of undress, uncomfortably positioned and without the recommended bags of saline solution in place to compress the swelling. I replied that the Ultrasound technician had just left, having finished her session. Five minutes later I watched our Angel of Mercy clock out to end her shift- - but thanks for asking, Florence Nightingale.
The Bitch Nurse turned up next. Her primary role as caregiver seems to involve chatting with other staff when not bitching to patients that the "real nurse" hadn't showed up for her shift. I wanted to slap her when she asked my Mother if she was on an IV, even though she obviously was not; observation and deductive reasoning are no longer taught in nursing school evidently. My mother is a stoic, with a woman's superior capacity to handle pain. I have never seen her nor anyone else for that matter cry out when giving blood, until now. Perhaps the Bitch Nurse might have reconsidered her site selection had she been in a better mood and not chosen last week's inflamed entry point. Mom was then unceremoniously dumped back in the corridor.
Around midnight the vascular surgeon showed up. It was she who confirmed that a false aneurysm had occurred, though she expressed concern that it had happened so long after the procedure. Two possible courses of action were explained. Surgery to repair the artery, or a non-invasive, much less "cardiac" risky alternative, called a Thrombin Injection. During this procedure, the site is frozen locally and the "Thrombin" is injected to form a clot in the femoral artery. The course of action would be determined after a consult with Cardiology.
As 2 PM neared, we still had no word from Cardiology. The Vascular Surgeon on call had however heard from the "Boss" of vascular surgery who allayed her concerns about potential complications. It was determined that a final course of action would be decided upon after both the Vascular Surgeon and her "Boss" had a second look at the pictures during the now scheduled 8 am session in the Vascular lab. It could not be any sooner, because the lab was not open until 8 am. To my knowledge, despite requests by staff, Cardiology never responded.
I arrived home at 3 am guiltily having left "me Sainted Irish Mother" to fend for herself in the hospital corridor. However, without at least a couple of hours rest, I would be useless to her the next day. Besides, it was both infuriating and depressing watching staff walk by pretending to acknowledge patient requests, including those of my Mother and myself, only to have them ignored. I asked the vascular surgeon at one point to please have a look at my Mother as she had begun to complain of increased pain and swelling however, she was left to fend for herself.
The procedure was indeed conducted shortly after the Lab was opened at 8 am, just as the vascular surgeon had promised. The Thrombin Injection was deemed a success by the Chief Surgeon. Gratefully we were informed that pending a quick final approval from ER, Mom would be released to my care. She was wheeled back to her "room" in the corridor by 9 am. Noon arrived and despite our numerous supplications - still no release. ER informed us that they were waiting for final approval from Vascular, who after many pages informed ER that final approval depended on word from Cardiology. With barely contained anger I informed the nurse that keeping an ill, 84 year old woman in a hospital corridor for 18 hours was not the type of care that anyone should be expected to tolerate. In fact my cat receives better treatment from his vet. It worked: we were released by 1 pm. No word on whether Cardiology ever bothered to return a call.
Very early in the AM I stumbled upon the ER's "Continuous Improvement Whiteboard"
I wrote:
Continuous Improvement? This is a cruel joke. The "level of care" at this facility disgraces the word hospital.
I was pleased to hear a staffer complain to another shortly before we were liberated:
"Whoever wrote that did it in permanent ink."
An unexpected night spent in the ER with Mom. I will know more after the mornings procedure. I'll post on our unwelcome sojourn later, it is 3 am now and I must be back at TGH by 8 am.

The 100,000 thousand member Catholic Women's League is calling for the repeal of Section 13 (1), Canada's despised "Thought Crime Law" as the Catholic Civil Rights League has also done. Section 13 (1) has been used by the severely corrupted CHRC to attack those who hold religious views.
Section 13 (1) continues to be defended by Neo-Nazi Overseer Jennifer "J-Ly" Lynch, ringleader of the extremist hate group known as the Canadian Human Rights Commission whose frightening anti-democratic agenda poses a genuine threat to all Canadians, most especially those who have spoken out against her STASI like operations.

Jennifer Lynch went to Dublin on your dime to complain that you, the Canadian public hates the Thought Control Stasi she runs - the CHRC. Here we are in a middle of recession and Canada's own Marie Antoinette is off galivanting at huge public expense to complain that we - the ignorant masses, have gone all uppity on her.
Public outrage at Jennifer Lynch's stunt is palpable. This latest outburst isn't the first time J-Ly has displayed her distaste for the Canadians of all political stripes who have expressed their disgust at her efforts to undermine our fundamental rights. Jennifer Lynch is a woman so desperate to retain her position as Canada's Thought Control Czarina, a woman so contemptuous of her critics that she ignored the recommendations of Richard Moon - the man she hand picked to provide her with an expected whitewash report of the odious Section 13(1). Ah but J-Ly's anticipated whitewash didn't go according to plan - Richard Moon did the unexpected, he told the truth - Section 13 (1) is bad law and recommended that the CHRC get out of the thought crime business. J-Ly is now clearly spinning out of control and has become a public embarassment to Canada, her open contempt for her critics reveals her to be an out of touch power mad bureaucrat on a Kamikaze Mission to protect her cushy sinecure.
Sadly, perhaps even alarmingly, Jennifer Lynch is nothing new under the sun, she is typical of the sort of moral monster that the totalitarian impulse incubates. From her lofty perspective Canadians are simply the ignorant masses that must be controlled. Stephen Harper, there's monster in your closet - get rid of it.

Here's a round up of the outrage being expressed at Jennifer Lynch's latest attack on the democratic rights and values of Canadians.

Jennifer Lynch, growing ever more disdainful of rank and file Canadians who abhor her Stasi like CHRC, makes a desperate plea to the one constituency which may, just by a hair I suspect, rank lower in the public's esteem than Human Rights Commissions - Lawyers.
Ms. Lynch seems to forget that among the HRC's most stalwart critics are to be found prominent members of the bar. Among them Alan Borovoy, Alan Shanoff, and Richard Moon. All have advocated that Jennifer's Stasi be stripped of its thought crime prosecutorial powers and come to think of it, isn't that Ezra guy a shyster too;)
Oh and Jennifer, the lack of HRC defenders isn't the result of your imagined "chill", rather it is simply a reflection of how wildy corrupted HRC's have become. Who in their right minds could possibly defend thought crime legislation?

No, that sound that the Mainstream News Media is doing its best to filter out and cast in a prejudicial light is the sound of people waking up from the dream of being held in the warm embrace of a motherly and progressive government that wants to make everything “all right” and realizing that they have been encircled in the cold embrace of the mother of all boa constrictors- The Progressive Left. It is the cry of people who have finally found their resistance to the personal charm and political capital of the new administration and realized that if there is any hope of stopping the slow but inexorable strangulation that is already under way, they must act with passion and urgency.

I think the answer is, yes and no. In the general Canadian population, in the ranks of Canadian government, things are quite good for the Jews and certainly a great deal better than 50 years ago. However, as we learned from the Herzliah High School firebombing here several years ago, there are individuals and groups who would like to import the Arab-Israeli conflict into Canada. Here, there is some cause for concern.”

"Thanks to the changes in the law he enacted between 1978 and 1981, human rights commissions continue to trample upon some of the most cherished principles of our historic justice system, essentially adapting the view that those unfortunate enough to be accused under these laws may as well go out and buy the rope for his own figurative noose, since his or her chances of escaping unscathed are virtually zero".

Canadians who read of Bibby's hockey research may well blow a patriotic gasket.

Media Release - Hassan Diab: Arab Canadian Community Marginalized by Carleton
....
I can't help but notice that this release, credited to a single individual - Chris Assad, who claims to speak for the entire "Arab Canadian Community" - whatever that is - comes just as news that Carleton University is now before the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal. Carleton is before the Star Chamber on charges it infringed on the right of its Pro-Pally student's freedom of expression by banning the following Israeli Apartheid Week poster:
No question the poster is crude propaganda - and trust me, I know crude;) This will make for an interesting hearing. It's not the first time* an Ontario University and the Ontario Human Rights Machine have become embroiled in controversy. Given the claims of the Muslim Canadian Congress that the Ontario Human Rights Commission has been infiltrated by Islamist sympathizers I doubt the outcome will favour Carleton should this issue proceed to a hearing.
The HRC's have lttle to do with with actual human rights & discrimination, rather they have devolved into the tool used to further the political agendas of various interest groups. As the following case illustrates he who controls the levers wins.

The Middle East dispute may seem interminable, but its shadow conflict – the one being waged on university campuses – appears every bit as complex and insoluble.
The latest round in Canada involves Hassan Diab, an Ottawa-based lecturer who for a number of years has had a part time appointment teaching Introduction to Sociology at Carleton University’s summer program. French authorities have asked for his extradition from Canada, accusing him of being the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine terrorist that blew up a Paris synagogue in 1980. Four people died in the bombing on Rue Copernic, and the incident signaled a wave of attacks against Jewish targets that brought the ongoing Israeli-Arab fight home to European Jews in a startlingly new way.

Why do they call it "honour killing"? It's anything but honourable.
Then again, it's like dictatorial tyrannies calling themselves "peoples' democracies" when they're neither for the people nor democratic.
The possible honour killings of four women found dead in a car in the Rideau Canal near Kingston would be only the latest manifestation of this obscenity.
The alleged perpetrators have been charged (including the father, mother and the girls' brother), and if found guilty will be due for a long stay in Canada . . . in prison. Some "honour"!

These are the same human rights commissions that seem totally disinterested in radical imams calling for gays to be "exterminated" and "beheaded," yet jump to action if a gay man is denied the opportunity to ring the altar bell.
The real purpose of hate-crime laws is to reassure politically significant groups -- blacks, Hispanics, Jews, gays, etc. -- that someone cares about them and takes their fears seriously. That's nice. It does not change the fact, though, that what's being punished is thought or speech. Johns is dead no matter what von Brunn believes. The penalty for murder is severe, so it's not as if the crime is not being punished. The added "late hit" of a hate crime is without any real consequence, except as a precedent for the punishment of belief or speech.

The sort of “progress” that is implied in the name Progressivism is actually a very un-American elitist fantasy in which The Progressive imagines that all people are equally ethical, trustworthy and basically good and that all cultures are likewise equally good and moral and that given the right information and presentation would agree with and submit to the Progressive agenda.

Ottawa Citizen Editorial
Right now there's a debate whether to situate honour killings in a Muslim context. Some people want simply to place these murders in the catch-all category of "domestic violence." I suppose that it would be politically convenient for multiculturalists to de-Islamicize honour killings, but it sure won't do much towards actually stopping them.
"That's what is so ironic about the whole thing. Many of these same people have expressed deep scorn of religious belief, especially conservative Christian belief. Suddenly we're to believe that they are the defenders of what faithful Catholics hold most dear?
