Twisted Spinster

There are many reasons I wouldn’t move to Canada, but the weather isn’t one of them. I fancy I’d like the cold for a change. However, I wouldn’t like the growing totalitarian tendencies currently infecting Canadian society. For example, there is the so-called Canadian Human Rights Committee, which was apparently formed with the best of intentions (helping “oppressed” minorities secure their equal rights), but as is often the sad case with so many of these organizations throughout history, has become a kangaroo court at the disposal of anyone with no scruples. Such has become the case with some creature called Richard Warman, who is suing several Canadian bloggers, including Kathy Shaidle, because they dared to say things he didn’t like. More details at the link — also help Kathy out if you can; it looks like this CHRC has real powers that the Canadian government foolishly gave them and therefore a lawsuit coming via their help can’t just be laughed out of court.
