The origin of Cruel But Fair

The origin of Cruel But Fair is from the story of the Piranha Brothers, Doug and Dinsdale. They were ruthless British gang leaders in the 70's.

One story always stood out: that of Stig O'Tracy, a victim of Dinsdale Piranha. One night Dinsdale nailed his head to the floor for unknown reasons. Despite the transgression, Stig was adamant that he had deserved it, and he insisted that Dinsdale had actually wanted to spare him.

In Stig's own words, speaking about Dinsdale Piranha:

"He was a cruel man, but fair"

Canada Poised to Regain Freedom of Speech

MP Brian Storseth (Westlock - St Paul) has been leading the charge to restore basic freedom of speech in Canada with Bill C-304. Its purpose is to repeal Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act.

Here is the story as he introduced the bill in September 2011, (from openparliament.ca):

Brian Storseth Westlock—St. Paul, AB

moved for leave to introduce Bill C-304, An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act (protecting freedom).

"Mr. Speaker, I rise today in this House to introduce a bill entitled “An Act to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act (protecting freedom)”.

Freedom of speech is a fundamental principle in our democracy and one which Canadians have fought and died for, for over a century. This is not a fight that one Canadian can take on himself, but rather an issue that all Canadians must engage in vigorously.

In this, I would like to thank my friends and colleagues such as Senator Finley and the member for St. Catharines who have rigorously pursued a freer, more open society, and resisted the tyrannical instincts of bureaucracy to censor speech in our great country.

Freedom of speech is the freedom that all other freedoms are built on. It cannot be restrained to the politically correct. The best way to fight bigotry is to ensure that we protect and enhance our fundamental freedoms in this great country of ours. That is why I ask all members in this House to support this bill that protects the fundamental building block of democracy: freedom of speech. God bless."

Section 13 was not in the original CHRA but was a bureaucratic add-on much later. It's also known as the Hurt Feelings clause. It was the brainchild of greedy lawyers, power hungry bureaucrats and other rent-seekers. Under the guise of "equality" and Big Brother talk of "fairness", these parasites conspired to create a brand new branch of the justice system. One in which their clients could simply claim harm from others' speech, without having to prove it, and without allowing the truth as a defence.

Anyway, MP Storseth just performed the second reading of this important bill on Feb 14th. Thank you Mr Storseth and thanks to the Conservatives for their support of this restoration of free speech, our most basic human right.

Aqsa Parvez: Forgotten by family but loved by strangers

Thanks to Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer, an innocent Canadian girl will never be forgotten despite the best efforts of her relatives. Her father killed her in the name of Islam because she refused to be controlled by him.

A memorial plaque has been erected in Israel in her name and the names of all women and girls killed and abused in the name of Islam. They must not be ignored or forgotten.

Here is the link to the whole story of the Aqsa Parvez memorial at Atlas Shrugs. God bless Pamela and Robert for standing up for her and all the girls and women killed and abused in the name of Islam.
