At the end of Part 2, I left you to contemplate our ‘MIA’ Politicians, which sadly is the case whenever our courts pontificate, regardless the subject.
But here their standard mode of operation is even more egregious since the issue here represents the underpinning of Democracy - Freedom of Speech, and more to the point, the restriction of same.
We can only hope that our politicians are using the silence to beaver away on plans to invoke the notwithstanding clause to neutralize the SCC’s unanimous decision or are drafting laws to abolish Human Rights Commissions …but if I were you, I would not bet the farm on it.
Rather, the Court’s decision appears to be another successful step in the relentless march to impose the will of special interest groups upon the majority.
The fact that the Court’s action is consistent with similar steps being taken across Western Society, is of little comfort.
So dear reader, if you can’t beat them – join them and that is just what I plan to do.
Going back to Ezra Levant’s article, he also talks about a recent episode of CBC’s This Hour Has 22 Minutes. During the course of the show a skit was conducted mimicking a Catholic Holy Communion but in place of wavers and wine representing the body and blood of Christ, the Show used Tim Horton’s Coffee and Timbits.
Funny Fellows Those CBCers.
Except I did not find it all that funny. Indeed, I did not find it to be funny at all; I was offended.
More to the point, I believe their offensive skit is likely to expose a person (me) to hatred or contempt.
The question then becomes whether or not as a Catholic – I am part of a vulnerable group which clearly I think I am since Christians and especially Catholics have been under attack throughout the world in recent decades. Many – far too many have been killed in less stable areas; our absolute numbers are in decline. Next to the Jewish, we are fair game for obnoxious slurs, slings and arrows.
Admittedly, we have not always acted in a pure and Christian like fashion – i.e. the sex scandals and cover-ups, but I take comfort in the Court’s finding that truth is not always a bar to a successful Human Right’s Claim.
I will keep you current with my ongoing efforts.
Rest assured, that any monetary award I may garner, will be immediately donated to Christian / Jewish Charities which will do more good than remaining with CBC.
As I see it…
