Nothing is more important than standing up for what you believe in, no matter what the cost may be. -Carrie Prejean
Neither Maclean's nor the Western Standard published materials that incited violence or other injustices against Muslims. They did not violate anyone's human rights. Recognizing this, the commissions should have immediately identified the cases brought to them as nuisance complaints and dismissed them. That they have not done so suggests a change in their mandates is much needed. (...)they were never intended to serve as thought police, charged with stamping out all unpleasant arguments and ideas. "It never occurred to us that this instrument, which we intended to deal with discrimination in housing, employment and the provision of goods and services, would be used to muzzle the expression of opinion," Canadian Civil Liberties Association founder Alan Borovoy recently lamented. Yet that is precisely what the commissions are doing (...) It's time to rein them in before further damage is done to Canadians' right to free expression.
