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.

Bottom of the Canadian Political Barrel

2013 Update

The Liar Dalton McGuinty quit his job not long before a huge spending scandal gathered full steam. His party the Liberals/Fiberals had a private meeting and appointed a new premier for us without an election. She was one of his minions (ministers) but denies knowing anything about anything, including the scandal.

New List for 2011/2012

1. The NDP.

They will always be economic disasters, because of their uncontrollable need to tax and spend. Now 60% of their members are from Quebec, and a lot of them being elected by voters who used to support the separatist Bloc Quebecois. That happened because Jack Layton (now deceased) told voters in Quebec that he supported tougher language laws).

2012 Update: their support in Quebec is dropping like a stone. Quebecers voted NDP to piss off the Bloc, not because they liked Jack Layton.

2013 Update: Their new Head Pinhead is Thomas (not "Tom" like a real Canadian should say it) Mulcair. He just finished stabbing his fellow Canadians in the back by going to the USA and telling them that the Keystone pipeline was a bad idea. He's worse than incompetent, he's another self-hating socialist that wants to be powerful while f--king with your future.

2. Dalton McGuinty

This is the zombie politician. It doesn't matter how much credibility and respect gets hacked off the man, he just keeps coming and coming. Mouth breathing city voters, unions, teachers, and the rest of the moochers managed to keep him in power in this year's election, albeit with now a very slim minority government.

2012 He remains taxpayer enemy #1 in Ontario

2013 Update:

This man put Ontario deeper in debt than ever while his boot licking bureaucrats created scandal after scandal, including eHealth, Ornge, and finally cancelled power plants (cancelled to save his party, not to do what was right for Ontario).

Then the coward resigned, suspended the government, and anointed an even FURTHER left sycophant of his to replace him as Premier. No votes, no problem. That's the left; child-like rule changing is standard equipment.

He's GOT to rank as the worst Premier Ontario's ever had.

*******************************

Original list with updates below:

Dec 2010 updates in red

May 2011 updates in Conservative blue

1. Jack Layton:

pinko idiot/socialist mooch (holding steady)(Now the Official Leader of the Opposition, the New Demoochcratic Party)

2012 Now dead

2. Stephan Dion:

Green freak, enforced retirement from combat (will be off next year's list)(In a delicious twist of irony, he keeps his seat in 2011 while Ignatieff loses his)

2012 Actually defended Canada the other day.

3. Bob Rae:

economy wrecker, Sri Lankan deportee (still a big brain socialist)(Definitely wanted Iggy's job but now worried about the Liberal toxic waste cleanup)

2012 Love the new attack ads reminding people the disaster he created in Ontario as Premier in the 90's

4. Gilles Duceppe:

Should be deported from Canada for treason (still a traitor)(No need to deport- he lost his seat and can now shrivel away)

2012 Still a traitor and bloodsucker. Sadly Quebecers seem to be drifting back to this blackmailer's party

5. Michael Ignatieff:

Thinks he's God's gift to Canada (still irrelevant)(Now also NOT the Liberal leader- back to Hah-vad with you!)

2012 Gone from politics but still yapping for money

6. Dalton McGuinty, aka Norman Bates:

Mr Tax Increase. Can find Canada on a world map (still running Ontario's economy into the ground. I think he may have been worse for Ontario than Rae was). We can finally get rid of this super sized socialist next fall.

2012 Update: Thanks to the preponderance of liberal morons and immigrants in Toronto, he squeaked back in with a one-seat majority. The rest of Ontario needs to separate from Toronto.

2012 Fall update: Under pressure from the buildup of scandals, the coward resigns and then prorogues the government to avoid investigations and charges of contempt. A complete disaster for Ontario's economy; he took the nanny state to new lows and robbed us of one freedom after another.

Dalton McGuinty: Worst Ontario Premier Ever.

7. David Miller:

Presently destroying Toronto (update: not running for re-election!) (He's out, and Rob Ford is in. Ford's mandate is to undo the financial carnage from letting liberals control the money for so long.)

2012 David Who???
