How to defeat a vigilante government
Watch this story: “City fights tribunal’s jurisdiction.” The headline and the first sentence jumped out at me: “In what’s being billed as a landmark case, the City of Toronto is out to prove the province’s human rights body has no authority over municipal bylaws.” The case is already two years old but the lawyers were in court last week.

Tribunal has some flaws
By Howard Levitt
Heralded by the McGuinty government as the protector of human rights in Ontario, the Human Rights Tribunal was to have ushered in a new era. Unlike the Human Rights Commission before it, the government assured us the Tribunal would efficiently process complaints and ensure fair hearings for employers and employees alike.

Law prof ‘disruptive,’ U of W says: Failed dean candidate’s complaint disputed
By Joseph Brean, with files from Frances Willick, Postmedia News
Do you want more proof that Canada’s – and particularly Ontario’s – human rights industry is a realm of tyranny, or arbitrary rule? A few weeks ago, a decision came down from the province’s human rights tribunal that they had the right to make the final decision on who can be the dean of a university’s law school. The case in question involves the university of Windsor. In this more recent decision, covered in the article below, the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario had decided that it’s jurisdiction does not extend to the editorial pages of newspaper. But if it believed this, why did Ontario Human Rights Commission Czar Barbara Hall express such strong opinions against Maclean’s magazine and its Mark Steyn content that put these agencies in the news across Canada for a couple of years?
We have already talked about the human rights decision against Christian landlord William Goertzen in the Northwest Territories.
There has been a flurry of activity regarding human rights commissions in the past week or so while I have been away. Some of it even appears to be positive, though appearances can be deceiving.

Dear Premier McGuinty,

This is Part 2 of the report of our Bowmanville Fundraising Dinner which took place last Saturday, July 17th. Click here to read the first part of the report.

Scott Brockie vs. the Homosexual Rights Commission
Those who have been following the history of human rights commission persecution will know Scott’s story. But while we were contacting churches, promoting the dinner, we found that there are still far too many Christians who are completely unfamiliar with human rights commissions and the front-line role they play to stamp out Christianity from Canada’s public square.
