Le Canada veut sensibiliser davantage à “l’Holocauste”

OTTAWA, ONTARIO–(Marketwire - 18 juin 2008) - Le gouvernement du Canada a à cour de sensibiliser la population à l’Holocauste et de lutter contre l’antisémitisme. Voilà pourquoi, au nom de notre gouvernement et à titre de chef de la délégation canadienne, l’honorable Jason Kenney, secrétaire d’Etat (Multiculturalisme et Identité canadienne), était fier d’annoncer aujourd’hui que le Canada a obtenu le statut de pays de liaison au sein du Groupe de travail pour la coopération internationale en matière de sensibilisation, de commémoration et de recherche au sujet de l’Holocauste. Le Canada cherche à devenir membre à part entière de ce groupe de travail.

Huge News for All Freedom-loving Canadians

Via Ezra Levant.

Keith Martin, a Liberal MP from Victoria, has introduced a private member’s bill motion that is as groundbreaking as it is concise:

That, in the opinion of the House, subsection 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act should be deleted from the Act.

This is important for several reasons:

1. It’s evidence that the “undernews” of the abusive, unaccountable conduct of the human rights commissions has caught the attention of at least one MP (we can assume Sen. Anne Cools is watching things, too).

2. That MP is a socially progressive Liberal (formerly a red Reformer), whose human rights credentials with the Left are impeccable. Not only has he made international human rights one of his causes in Parliament, but he has personally walked the talk, serving on various Doctors Without Borders missions.

3. If a progressive, young, hip Liberal MP from an urban seat feels comfortable proposing this motion, it is a sign that reforming these commissions is politically safe, even for a Conservative government still worried about being tagged as “anti-human rights”. Martin is a political entrepreneur who goes for winning opportunities. He once ran for the leadership of the Canadian Alliance; he crossed the floor to the Liberals and was rewarded by them; he has a very friendly relationship with the press. The man picks political winners. That alone is a signal to other MPs that it’s safe to stand and be counted on this fight.

4. By taking the initiative — and beating other MPs, especially Conseratives, to the punch — Martin will get some well-deserved credit for leadership. But he’ll also make it easy for Conservative MPs, even the Conservative government itself, to “follow” his example, rather than to lead. In a way, Martin takes the political risk; by supporting him, the Tories are merely sensible and bi-partisan followers. He’s the point-man.

5. The fact that Martin is a “visible minority” is irrelevant to most normal Canadians, but to the identity politics Left, it’s a sign of his moral virtue, and thus makes him even more politically safe.

Congratulations to Martin for doing the right thing. But more than that: he has given the government itself a political opening to amend this awful law. The Conservatives should ensure that Motion M-446 goes to a vote, and every one of them — as well as other MPs of good faith from every party that cares about freedom — should join with Martin to make his amendment law.

Another Anti-White Lynching In Canada

Although the $6,000 fine represents a fraction of the cost of holding the hearing, Niemi said CRARR believes such prosecutions are worthwhile. “If we don‘t do that, there will be a proliferation (of on-line hate sites) and vulnerable minds will be influenced and our social cohesion, our social peace, will be threatened,” he said. [Some will argue that state-mandated multiculturalism, “diversity,” affirmative action, racial quotas, set-asides, savage, out of control immigration, ethnic and Negro crime, in-your-face homosexuality, banal and everyday anti-White discrimination, etc., etc., etc. are a threat to our “social cohesion;” and not the few and feeble voices that dare to criticize the above anti-democratic policies aimed at the economic, social, cultural, and political dispossession of Whites on a few fora…what do you think?]

B’nai Brith vs. Arthur Topham, Publisher & Ghost Troop

For Immediate Release — January 7, 2008
LEAGUE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS OF B’NAI BRITH CANADA alleges RadicalPress.com owner guilty of “Hate Crimes” toward Jews and citizens of Israel.

QUESNEL, B.C. – Harry Abrams, B.C. representative for the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada has filed a complaint with the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) alleging that Arthur Topham, Owner, Publisher & Editor of RadicalPress.com is promoting “hatred toward Jews and citizens of Israel” because of articles on his website that are critical of Zionism and the Jewish state of Israel.

Topham, who has publishing both a hard copy newspaper and an online new site since 1998, said he received the complaint from the CHRC in an unmarked, unregistered envelope November 20, 2008. Contained within was an assortment of documents including a 3-page complaint from Abrams and B’nai Brith and a directive from the CHRC to respond to the Commission by an arranged date.

In a hard-hitting, detailed, and thoroughly documented 13-page Response http://www.radicalpress.com/?p=629 sent to CHRC “hate-team” investigator Sandy Kozak sandy.kozak@chrc-ccdp.ca on January 3, 2008 the RadicalPress.com publisher stated categorically, “Harry Abrams and his partner in this complaint, the League for Human Rights of B’nai Brith Canada are exploiting and abusing the intent of the Canadian Human Rights Act for their own narrow, partisan, ideological purposes” – ones which Topham strongly feels “are not designed to promote and ensure the freedom of expression that the vast majority of Canadians demand and expect but rather are meant to buttress and support the political aims of a foreign state (Israel) of which these organizations are but political extensions.”

Topham further emphasized the fact that there has been a dramatic increase in these types of complaints to the CHRC by both the B’nai Brith and the Canadian Jewish Congress (CJC) since September 11, 2001 when the attack on the World Trade Center In New York city resulting in the loss of 3,000 lives. In the aftermath of that horrid event Canada brought in its new Anti-terrorism Act, c.41 on December 18th, 2001 and along with it came changes to Sec. 13 (1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act which specifically deals with “hate messages”. It is Topham’s contention that both the B’nai Brith and the CJC played a significant role in defining the new “Interpretation” of Sec. 13 (1) – one that now allows both of these partisan groups to lay “hate crimes” complaints against any Internet user or website owner who criticizes Israel’s Zionist ideology and its racist policies toward the Palestinian people.

“It is nothing but a last ditch attempt by these Israeli front organizations to take control of the Internet in Canada and censor all dissenting opinions that don’t support Israel or its Zionist policies,” Topham said. “It is something the vast majority of Canadians are adamantly opposed to yet these groups are becoming bolder by the minute and are now even riding roughshod over Christian organizations, mainstream magazines like MacLeans and alternative media outlets such as the Radical Press.

Topham feels that “It is definitely time a thorough and impartial investigation was carried out to determine the extent of their influence upon our judiciary and our institutions in general. No individual group should be manipulating Canada’s legal system for their own personal gain. Even CBC’s Rex Murphy is taking a strong stand against quasi-judicial bodies like the CHRC and seriously questioning their purpose and legitimacy as they become more and more susceptible to the type of manipulation and abuse that we’re now seeing spreading across the country.”

Topham is firm in his intention to fight what he feels are spurious charges designed to silence debate on issues vital to both national and global peace. “If we cannot express our thoughts and ideas openly and freely,” he said, “then the democratic principles upon which Canada was founded become meaningless and dead and we might as well accept the fact that we are living in a communist dictatorship rather than a true democracy.”

Letter of Support from Ghost Troop Commander

Dear GT Topham,

All of Ghost Troop is honored by your membership in our group, and I consider it a personal honor to have known and worked with you since the summer of 2003. The kind of courage and conviction you have shown in publishing The Radical Press is a great irritation to Zionists in your Canada, my USA and the rest of the world. Falsehood always tries to legislate truth out of existence, and the actions taken against you and The Radical Press are the best proof possible that your labors are invaluable. I salute you!

Best regards,

Captain Eric H. May

Free speech is not a human right in Canada

Thank you Fred Scrooby for pointing out this article by Sailer.

Free speech is not a human right in Canada

Rather like those polygamous Mormon separatists who live right on the Utah-Arizona border and build their houses on skids so they can drag them just across the dividing line when the state police are coming to arrest them, Voltaire spent his last two decades on the French-Swiss border in the village of Ferney, near Geneva, just in case.

Canadian native Mark Steyn lives in a small American town, not far from the Canadian border. The wisdom of residing in a country with a constitutional protection for free speech (or should I say, the country?) was pointed out by his being called before Canada’s Human Rights Commission to account for the crime of publishing an excerpt from his bestseller America Alone
in Maclean’s, Canada’s leading newsmagazine. Apparently, freedom of speech is not a human right in Canada.

The Canadian Islamic Council that filed the nuisance suit may not win against somebody as globally-connected as Steyn, but the lesson for anybody actually living in Canada is clear.

This abuse isn’t as severe as what psychologist J.P. Rushton had to put up with a decade and a half ago in Canada — he was under police investigation for over half a year. But, it is indicative of how diversity and civil liberties are increasingly in collision.

The future of the world may well look like the old Ottoman Empire writ large: multiculturalism on a remarkable scale, but public liberty close to non-existent — it was simply too dangerous in such a diverse community.

In the short run, we may be able to slow down the arrival of the long run by organizing boycotts of tourism and conferences in countries, such as Canada, that are throttling free speech.

Mark Steyn Case Wakes Up Canadian Press to Human Rights Tribunals’ Threat to Free Speech

Mark Steyn Case Wakes Up Canadian Press to Human Rights Tribunals’ Threat to Free Speech
Calgary Herald writer says the Commissions must be “shut down

By Hilary White

TORONTO, December 19, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Opposition is growing in the press to the power and boldness of the Canadian Human Rights Commissions (HRC) to suppress freedom of expression and to police what Canadians may say in public. While Christians and social conservatives in Canada have been under attack through the HRC’s for years, it was not until the case against popular columnist Mark Steyn and Maclean’s magazine that the Canadian mainstream media has picked up the scent of a threat to their own freedoms.

In today’s Calgary Herald, Rebecca Walberg writes that the Commissions must be “shut down.” Earlier this week the National Post protested that the Steyn case is one of “censorship in the name of ‘human rights’”. The Chilliwack Times ran an editorial calling the Commissions and their tribunals “a powerful ally” in the efforts of some to “further restrict our right to free speech.”

The case that has garnered the attention of Canada’s mainstream media is that brought by the Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC) against popular conservative columnist Mark Steyn and Maclean’s, Canada’s foremost news magazine. Maclean’s published an excerpt, headlined “The Future Belongs to Islam,” from Steyn’s bestselling book “America Alone” in which he predicts a coming clash between an increasingly aggressive Islamic minority in Europe and the shrinking remnants of European post-Christian social values.

The CIC complained to the Human Rights Commission of “exposing Canadian Muslims to hatred and Islamophobia”. A representative of the group claims the complaint is intended to “protect Canadian multiculturalism and tolerance”.

The Herald’s Walberg writes that “in a country with Sunday shopping, abortion rights and same-sex marriage…[h]uman rights commissions are vestigial organs, a historical correction that no longer serves any useful function.”

“The Canadian Human Rights Commission, though, has the power to embroil Steyn and Maclean’s in paperwork, to force them to pay for legal representation in this process, and even the power to fine them and force them to agree to terms satisfactory to the CIC. The CIC’s real goal seems to be not justice or the pursuit of truth, but the abolition of public discourse that is critical of Islam.”

Canada’s Human Rights Commissions were started in the 1970’s on the recommendation of activists who said that there needed to be a cost-free informal court system where vulnerable people like immigrants could seek redress in cases of discrimination in matters of employment, services and accommodation. The legislation bringing them into existence gives them permission to disregard the usual rules of legal procedures meant to protect defendants’ rights such as rules of evidence, presumption of innocence, bias of witnesses or representation. Its officers and adjudicators do not have to have legal training but are political appointees, commonly representatives of special interest groups.

The HRC’s have been used most effectively by organisations on the far left, especially homosexual lobbyists, to impose restrictions on members of religious groups and other conservatives. The defendant in all HRC proceedings must cover his own legal expenses but the state does not charge the complainant. This system, many have said, leaves the HRC’s wide open to abuse as a completely taxpayer paid (for the complainant only) weapon in political battles that would be prohibitively expensive in the legitimate court system.

The Chilliwack Times’ John Martin, a criminologist at the University College of the Fraser Valley, wrote, “[T]hese commissions have become little more than support groups for those who would censor and deny any speech they disagree with. It’s ironic that they’re referred to as ‘human rights’ commissions when, in fact, they have become the champions of groups who insist others are not entitled to differing opinions, voices or expressions.”

Ezra Levant, formerly the editor of the Western Standard that had stood against HRC cases brought by the CIC, wrote on the Shotgun ‘blog that a large part of their usefulness to lobby groups is the lack of cost. “The CIC learned their lesson: there’s no point suing in defamation law, where the CIC would have to pay for their own lawyers, and our lawyers if we won, and where silly things like the rule of law apply”.

“Better to go to the human rights commissions where the taxpayer pays for the prosecution, traditional rules of evidence and procedure don’t apply, and free speech is not protected,” Levant continued. “It still has all of the down-sides for the defendant — the hassle, the cost, and a lower bar for a ‘conviction’ — but none of the cost for the complainants.”

Others have pointed out that the Human Rights Commissions are so weighted in favour of the complainant that it is wide open to abuse as a means of making money. Richard Warman, a far left human rights lawyer based in Ottawa, is a former employee and investigator for the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Warman has filed an unusually large number of complaints with the HRC against groups on the right and admitted that he files complaints in his spare time.

In 2006, in a keynote speech to the violent Anti-Racist Action group in Toronto, Warman described his high volume, tax-funded activism the “maximum disruption” approach to leftist agitation. “I’ve come to the conclusion that I can be most effective by using what I like to describe as a ‘maximum disruption’ approach…If I think that they’ve violated the Canadian Human Rights Act, then I’ll look at all of the potential targets and file complaints against them starting on a ‘worst offender’ basis”.

He added, “Sometimes if I just find people to be particularly annoying this may move them up the list a bit.” Publicly available documents show that Warman has been awarded at least Cn. $48,500 in “special compensation” via Human Rights Tribunal complaints since 2003.

Canadian Christians, social conservatives and others have long called for HRC’s to be abolished.
