“The late Father Richard John Neuhaus founder of First Things was a native Canadian. After returning to the Ottawa valley in 2007 for his annual summer vacation, he observed, “It is true to say that in most aspects of public life {in Canada}, “Christianity has been not only disestablished but also banished.” He told the National Post that the erosion of the Christian foundation of Canadian society is linked to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms imposed by former Prime Minister Trudeau.

“The Charter according to Father Neuhaus, “is riddled through and through with the radically individual notion of the unnumbered self and equality enforced by state power.”

“There are 14 Human Rights Commission in Canada, with a combined annual budget of $200 million and 1000 employees. They operate as a parallel court system , but unlike real courts, as Erza Levant, a Jewish Canadian asserts, they are “quite corrupt, one-sided and illiberal.” Their censorship provision has 100% conviction rate over the past 31 years. According to Levant, “No one has ever been acquitted. Even China and Iran let a few people go as pretense to impartiality.”

“HRC has filed three complaints against Levant and more than 20 nuisance suits, including one against using the expression “kangaroo court” to describe HRC proceedings. These complaints have cost Levant $175,000 in legal fees. Fortunately Levant won massive support, especially in the United States, when he uploaded his interrogation session with HRC proceedings on YouTube.Readers of his blog have helped defray his legal costs.

“James Allen, a law professor in Queensland, does not hesitate to describe Canada’s HRCs as kangaroo courts (journalist Rory Leishman refers to HRCs “Canada’s Thought Police.” His contempt for the process is evident when he outlines how easy it is for anyone to be guilty of inciting hatred and thereby violating Section 13 (1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act: “To be in breach of these hate-speech provisions, you don’t have to counsel violence, you don’t have to urge discrimination; you don’t have to express hatred; you don’t even have to have said or written something that did, in fact, subject some group to hatred or contempt. All that is needed is your comments, in the view of the sort of people chosen to staff these tribunals are ‘likely’ to expose someone or some group to contempt or hatred.”

“False Freedom: There are additional unjust and disturbing features of the HRC approach. A person can make a complaint no matter how frivolous, without incurring any legal costs or penalties. The accused, on the other hand, no matter how innocent, must pay all legal expenses… Christianity has been largely disestablished in Canada. This void has been hurriedly and recklessly been filled by a poorly thought out, one sided notion of rights. Among these “rights” is the right not to be offended.

“The first victim of this current chapter of Canadian history was truth. HRCs are not interested, for example, in whether sodomy is truly a disordered act that may bring almost a train of health problems, or whether it is a good idea to raise children in a same-sex arrangement. They are interested in people’s feelings and how easy it is for people to be offended… be nice to each other…
