UPDATE: The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal has struck another blow for unfreedom of speech. The offending words?
“I don’t care if it’s a religious thing or not, if you don’t want to follow our rules, even if it is taking off your scarf thing for one lousy picture, then stay out of my effing country!”
Canada has a legal system more closely attuned to that of England than ours. The recent actions by militant Muslims to suppress any criticism have found sympathetic hearing in Canada. I previously posted about such an action in Britain. Now the campaign spreads to Canada. Mark Steyn seems to have had it right and is even becoming an example of the attempts to suppress dissent. The most recent outrage is a father murdering his daughter because she wished to wear western dress. To the Toronto Star, however, it is a ” violent dispute[s] between a 16-year-old girl in Mississauga and her father over her desire to show her hair and live a “normal” lifestyle” which ” raises questions about tensions between parents and children in the Muslim community.” I don’t ordinarily call murder a “tension.” but what do I know ? Here is more from a Canadian who shows that some of them are worried about freedom. Not enough, it seems.
