So, somebody tried to shoot up the Family Research Council!
I read an article yesterday which reported on an apparent trend of America being under attack from right-wing terrorists, which the Miami Herald writer also called “white Christian men.”
We have received another report about hate-filled pro-abortion activity at Ottawa’s March for Life last Thursday. In this case, racist pro-aborts spewed out their venom at adopted Asian children.

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.

Where’s the respect for free speech at universities?
By Paul Schneidereit
I don’t know which is sadder: intolerant young people, including students, for shutting down speeches they don’t agree with, or universities for letting misguided activists get away with acting like fascists.

Caledonia crisis of facts
By Peter Worthington
In an extensive interview in the Toronto Sun, OPP Commissioner Chris Lewis not only defended police actions (inactions?) during the 2006 Caledonia crisis, but says there were also great successes that are never talked about.

The Alberta Human Rights Commission is at it again. The latest embarrassment from this out-of-control government agency is their gift of tax dollars to a group called “Racism Free Edmonton.” It’s an ironic name, because the world view of Racism Free Edmonton is racist itself. The Alberta Human Rights Commission is a specialist at the Orwellian perversion of language. Their counterfeit “right not to be offended” has meant the infringement of real rights, like freedom of speech.

It might be race or “sexual orientation” or some other category.
