Harper Closes CHRC Offices In Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax!!!! - Well It's a Start
Update: Call off the Kegger - CHRC to EXPAND!
"While the union sees this as part of the Conservative government’s attempts to undermine human rights groups, documents filed with Parliament show the CHRC is set to grow, not shrink. Despite the looming office closures the CHRC’s budget is expected to grow from $21.5 million in the current fiscal year to just under $23 million in 2011-2012 fiscal year. The number of employees is set to rise as well from 197 full-time equivalencies to 203."
Harper you got some splainin to do....
...
Original post:
The Public Service Unions are mighty upset too. Good;)
"For John Gordon, National President of PSAC, the closures are indicative of a strategy by the Conservative government to destabilize human rights organizations and women's groups in Canada."
Woo Hoo!

I'm standing next to Ann Coulter!
It's a start....
Yeah! But wait a minute, now I'm worried the loons at the BCHRT are going to call for more resources and start working overtime!
Harper is a calculating politician, so I guess he figures it's time to throw the base a little meat. It's my calculation, fwiw, he would do a little better if he stood more often on principle and just fought openly with all those who want to paint him as the evil Christian usurper of "human rights".
It's a start, a small bone tossed to the proles but Yes I want to see him decked out in full crusader garb, the Cross of St. George prominently featured.
This is a good start!
BCF...
I don't think Steve is that kind of Cat...
Always remember that he is a Toronto born Bro (pre-idiocy)
I will never accept the ignorant's supposition that Steve is some sort of raving Scripturalist....
I prefer to suppose that Steve is simply try to be "Canadian" in a 'less than' socialist world (Alberta)...
A girl can dream can't she?
The last four years (disregarding the MASSIVE debt still being maintained as fault of Trudeau) have been quintessentially Canadian...
Harper can chill for another 10-15 years in a minority for all I care... The stability in 'general' policy is worth the 'transitional pain' from boomer to reality, in my books...
But I do hope Steve steps down with 'well maintained' reigns for his successor...
We need to survive the "Islamic" and "Green" storms of anti-ability to make a real generational change...
What is beyond the Thunderdome?
Could that be... a disturbance in the Force?
yahoo. lets not look a gift horse in the mouth!
This is just exactly what I've been talking about. This is the sneaky back door method for how Conservatives need to manage an incredibly hostile Civil Service. You do things slowly, by the back door, in the dead of night.
How does one empty a nest of vipers without getting bit? One friggin' snake at a time.
Because if they napalmed the office people would talk, y'know?
You have a point Phantom.
.
.
Another point might be that the venom becomes more concentrated in the remaining fangs of hate and evil.
Now that Ann has effectively, very effectively, demonstrated her point and our point, the snakes are curling and breeding for more attack.
And why do they want to? Simply because, like sand-box bullies, they haven't learned to create; they can only destroy. They can't think or reason so they fight like cowardly bullies.
Houle Canada, our moan and hative land!
.
.
Cue the bed wetters in five ... four ... three ... two ...
Jay's right, though. It's a start. Now for the predictable whining and complaining from the usual suspects.
Excellent move. Keeping offices open reduces the likelihood that the local CHRC would deem the complaint to be valid vs. frivolous. One local service we can do without! Perhaps the centralized CHRC will now be too busy to deal with 13(1) crap. I am sure they have not had a budget increase, so will have to be more selective.
"In B.Cc, residents will no longer have access to a human rights commission of any kind, as the B.C. Human Rights commission was dismantled by the provincial government five years ago."
Has someone told Mark Steyn and Macleans?
.
.
Just had another thought...
Ann Coulter's rendition, Oh Canada, might be very good new lyrics once somebody could fit them to the tune.
Then after the start of 100s of thousands of yearly events we could slowly start to see the disgrace -- over a few years.
As I wrote before, Ann surely made her point. PMSH probably got nudged a bit to do something to placate a fading sense of what Canada's dream was. Ezra's immense work might be starting to make a dent. I'm thinking it's going to get worse before it get's better.
The CHRC hate grows out of the filthy dirt of multiculturalism. Until it is totally dispersed, and the traitors to our home and native land are brought to justice, there will be ugly unrest.

"How does one empty a nest of vipers without getting bit? One friggin' snake at a time."
You've done this before.
Frances,
BC has a "human rights" tribunal, but no commission. The government got tired of the commission going out and drumming up clients/victims.
They must have done a lot of drumming. As the press release says "60 per cent of all racialized people in Canada live in Vancouver, Toronto and Halifax."
-does the union have any idea how bizarre and evil it is to write passive sentences like this, as if the "racialized" are now to believe they are victims of some irrational process by which all non-whites are stigmatized, marked, forever suspicous of their neighbors and wormates? Do they have any sense of how evil it is to make a tax-funded business of telling people they are victims? The left today is little more than a conspiracy theory ("ultra-conservative partisans" - can they even not laugh at themselves?). I'm sitting here scratching my head, wondering if I'm racialized. Because if all these other people are, then we all must be, because how do you racialize one without racializing the other?
I know the game they are playing - hating whiteness for being "unmarked", falsely normal, neutral - but something needs to be said about such barbarous language. I wonder how it reads in French...
I'm amazed daily by how much I don't know. The news release says, inter alia:"The urban centres where the CHRC offices are being closed represent a high percentage of racialized people."
What, may I ask, are "racialized people"? Are these people who used to be white and are now brown? Or people who have suddenly noticed that some people are different colours? Or are these people with wrong attitudes? Somebody help me, please.
When the bozo at PSAC was writing his presser, he clicked the radio button for big words in his random word generator.
Racialized was one of the ones he got.
Since we are all inter alia racialized, since to the best of my own knowledge, although I am a white anglo saxon male by heritage and genes, that does qualify me as a member of a race, if only the human race.
If the PM wants to "destabilize human rights organizations" he gets my vote. Heck, I like that idea so much I might even vote twice next time.
Well I was so pissed last time the Harper had done nothing about the CHRCs that I didn't vote. I went to the polling place, but I just couldn't bring myself to go in and vote. Maybe this time my vote will be the one the tips them over to a majority. Oh, wait, then there's that old problem of finance dimwit Flaherty . . .
Now - are those 'new jobs' particular, special ones where hand-picked people get hired so they can document the governance of the HRC....gather evidence to be used to get rid of some of the most outrageous practices at the agency?
If so - OK.
If not - ...
um.. what are "racialized people" and how are they different from normal people?
She has the most poetically correct legs of any polemicista I know.
Ice the Nice.
This was the old bait & switch maneuver. Make it appear your doing something as a red herring while duplicity doing the opposite. Am example of this. Was when EDDY the Red said he would end us paying Alberta heath care. He did but than turned around & doubled the price of blue cross. What he did was exactly what a socialist would . He just made more wealth distribution while taking any responsibility away from ALL citizens to cater to the deviants & such, as is their way.
Its why he done.
Harper & his Red Tories are pretending to take the CHRC to heel, while giving them more money & power.
Bait & switch. Canadians lose, the government has a more invisible Inquisition while strengthening it by appearing to cut it off.
I defy anyone from the CPC to prove otherwise?
As to our Pseudo-Conservative MP s. I ask why are you going along with this abomination when 99% of your Party, most Canadians, wants this mutation of democracy. To fascism gone as well?
Give us our freedom from this political court of crows. we can't afford people or organizations like this. & survive as a society.
The CPC has a lot to answer for. The time of blind trust is over. Where just dying as a free people slower under you!
