The OHRC ruled it did not have jurisdiction to proceed with a complaint filed by the Canadian Islamic Congress and some law students over an excerpt from Steyn's book that appeared in Maclean's titled "The future belongs to Islam."
But... and this is most telling as to the true ideology and agenda behind the so-called "human rights" commissions:
That would have been fine if that's all the OHRC did, but out of the other side of their mouth they condemned the article for being racist and Islamophobic. Unfortunately they made these findings without holding a trial or hearing legal arguments or evidence from Maclean's.
They clearly had already deemed, without doing a bloody thing at all, the article to be "racist" and "Islamophobic".
Sounds like garden-variety, mentally-disordered, unhinged moonbat left-wingers to me.
Also unfortunate is the fact the same complaint is still before the British Columbia and the Canadian Human Rights Commissions. How is Maclean's supposed to get a fair hearing before those bodies now? Does anybody think these other commissions will want to break ranks with the OHRC and rule in favour of Maclean's?
Like hell they want to rule in favor of any scary right-wingers (MacLean's is hardly "right-wing", but since it had an article by someone considered "right-wing", then it must therefore be treated as such, in the worldview of the far left, which is where the "human rights" bureaucratic agents are) who dare to tell it like it is and inconvenience radical, imperial Islam and the self-delusionally righteous left in its self-delusionally righteous crusade (perhaps "jihad" would be a more apt word) to stamp out specific types of imaginary "hate" at all costs, including the cost of violating human rights.
It gets weirder and weirder. No, there's nothing wrong with the coffee or wine you're drinking... this crap is all too real, unfortunately:
And just how is it that the same article can form the subject of complaints in three different jurisdictions? Can Crown attorneys in three jurisdictions start three prosecutions over the same subject matter? Can someone start three lawsuits in three jurisdictions over the same article? The answers are pretty obvious. Multiple proceedings should not be allowed and they aren't -- except when it comes to human rights complaints.
Well, read it all for yourself. And further your understanding of the bizarre, so-called "human rights" commissions and the bizarre, so-called "human rights" movement on the part of the radical "progressive" movement, which I suspect is heavily influenced by hostile foreign, as well as domestic, forces, like, most likely, the KGB (which aims to weaken North America with such infiltration and interference) and Imperial Islam.
