I'm thinkin Jennifer Lynch might be a whole lot happier in North Korea - They'd trust her more
Upperdate: I see Jennifer Lynch has conferred "stakeholder" status on the Canadian Islamic Congress. This is the same CIC that wrote the Turkish ambassador to offer condolences for the citizens who perished at the hands of the "despicable" Israelis...The Harper Government cut off relations with the CIC, describing the organization as anti-semitic. Just whose side is Lynch the Liar on?
Poor Jennifer Lynch is complaining again that we peasants don't trust her STASI er... CHRC. Admittedly I include myself among the ungreatful unwashed. It makes Jennifer Lynch very sad that no one trusts her with the Police State Powers embodied in Section 13 (1).
Jennifer Lynch is very sad that virtually every media outlet in the country has spoken against this evil law and the Kangaroo Kourt she ran to administer it. She's sad that a parliamentary enquiry, a senate enquiry, and a private members bill were launched to either investigate or repeal section 13 (1). She's sad that civil liberties associations have spoken against her vile playtoy. She's sad that NGO's as diverse as Gay's and Catholics have spoken against this anti-democratic monstrosity. She's sad that the very architects of human rights law in Canada, such as Alan Borovoy, are appalled at the threat to our democracy that Section 13 (1) has become. She's sad that the Conservative Party voted to adopt the repeal of Section 13 (1) as policy at their last convention (Not that the coward Harper will act on this). She's sad that she paid 40 G's to a handpicked man only to be told - dump Section 13 (1). She's sad that even the CHRT became fed up with the CHRC's abuse of Section 13 (1). She's sad contemplating the pending judicial review of the most despised law in Canada. Jennifer Lynch is sad that the public was made aware of the abuse of fundamental democratic rights that happened under her watch, an expose driven by bloggers and other citizens that forced its way into both the mainstream press and the halls of Government.
Jennifer Lynch is made most sad by those cumbersome, unweildy, often frustrating things called Freedom of Speech & Democracy, the blight of petty tyrants everywhere.
I'm thinkin it's time you moved to friendlier pastures Jen. This whole democracy thing, well it's just making you too sad. How about North Korea Jen? They might not trust you either sweety, but they'd sure appreciate your methods and your understanding of Free Speech.
Let's see Jen, while the North Koreans might put a damper on some of your wilder fantasies I'm sure they'd happily indulge most of your agencies "best practices".
Best practices for the Canadian Human Rights Commission include a penchant for secret trials, the collection and witholding of information on private citizens, gross abuses of due process and natural law and the commission's own stated rules of (stifle laughter here) "investigative procedure". The North Koreans will appreciate a woman whose staff go undercover and sign up for Neo Nazi web sites, who refuse to answer questions under oath, who float doctored transcripts to the press, who engage in antics like evidence substitution etc etc etc...Yup Jen I'm sure the North Korean's will admire the rigged system you oversaw to administer Section 13 (1).
Happy trails.

Update: Send this to Jennifer Lynch: Caller on Glenn Beck show describes life under Communist Rule

Yet the tenor and quality of that debate has shifted swiftly because of how information is shared.
The pervasive and viral nature of social media has created endless opportunities for people to speak out, support a cause, or influence change.
As a result, the rules of public discourse are evolving. ~ Jen
She says that as if it's a bad thing.
Jennifer Lynch is very sad aout this whole democracy thing. Poor Jen.
J Ly - J Lee. Slight change in pronunciation and she can slip in unnoticed, sorta.
Don't let the swinging door hit ya where the Good Lord split as you head for the Korean Air flight to your new home, Jenny.
You said, she might be a whole lot happier in North Korea. She in North Korea would make us here a whole lot happier.
Heck, I'd pop for a few bucks to buy the ticket.
Seriously we should take up a collection.
She's no fan of democracy is she? What is it with the left and their inability to deal with robust dialong or caustic debates? Freaking sissies.
It's a stunning display of arrogance, but typical of bureacrats who think they are above the law and above criticism. They assume they rule by divine right.

An apt descriptor of the Aristocratic. People forget the Gentry hate buisness as a necessary evil, & only lowly persons engage in it. It not just Marxism prompting Obama & the Lynchs of the World As you rightly point out. Its the urge of the Entitled towards their inferiors. So they think anyway.
Buisness to the elite or freedom for its servants is unthinkable now that we have made them potentates.Letting them get away with 40% raises, featherbedding pensions, free cars, houses, & the like.
All to the faded song of attracting better people. Well, how has that worked out for us? We get Lynch & that breed.

I am new to the blogging world and am simply moving about looking at sites that friends and others have pointed out to me.
I read the speech given by Jennifer Lynch and have followed , though not closely, the debate surrounding free speech in Canada.
In my honest opinion the regulations pertaining to hate speech under human rights law must change. It is too weighted against the ones complained against. Yet I am reluctant to be rid of the law altogether.
I practice crimnal law so I have some understanding of judicial procedure. This is where human rights legislation needs to be cleaned up. I am sensitive to civil libertarians desire for free and unfettered speech though I have found no jurisdiction anywhere in the democratic world that does not have some limitations on speech. The reason for this I believe is the inate understanding that people are not perfect and that unbridled hatred can defame and ruin.
Im open to having my mind changed but these are my thoughts.
I should also add that while I am no stranger to the thrust and parry of raucous debate, points are better made through civil use of language.
Happy Father,s Day to all the fathers out there.
Thank you Marise for your thoughtful comments. I suspect most advocates for the repeal of Section 13 are, like myself, of the opinion that only speech that advocates violence should face restrictions, in other words it should be dealt with by the criminal courts. Section 13 should therefore be scrapped, not just because it is bad law but also because the CHRC and it's provincial counterparts have abused enforcment either through ignorance or complicity.
We often speak in rough terms, largely because Ms. Lynch often decrie's the "tone" of the debate, in short it's fun;)
Marise, if you ever wish to do a guest post, send it to my e-mail, blazingcatfur@gmail.com, you may if you wish post under a psuedonym. I also recommend you check out Jay Currie's blog from time to time.
