These Human Rights Commissars need to be disbanded. They were created by politicians, and now these cowardly politicians are allowing them to ride roughshod over the RIGHTS of all Canadians. How much more will freedom loving people put up with?

Indeed Stephen. No amount of tampering can solve the problem, only total elimination can.

Newspapers are irrelevant and are going bankrupt everywhere. Broadcast TV news ratings are in freefall. The internet is winning.
Go ahead and try to censor the internet.
Impossible.

Well, Babs Hall did mention the blogs so brace yourselves. She has the internet in her sights, the last bastion of free speech.
