#1 This whole thing is quite a stain on Canada.

What was that aphorism? "The dark curtain of fascism is always descending on the US, but only seems to actually fall on Europe" or some such.

Given what I think could be called our own constitutional crisis (usurpation of war power, treaty power, and direct defiance of ennumerated powers by the SCOTUS), it's sad to see how Canada has beclowned itself all these years.

Some of the best citizens of both nations continue to risk all to promote, inter alia, the rule of law in benighted regions of strategic importance - while back in North America, the rule of law looks a lot more tattered than it has in modern times .....

#2 Simple: loser pays. Sue those islamist a-holes for the legal fees and lost work time. Liens agains their property, garnish all wages, etc.

Thats one of the major the problems with the system - there is no penalty for the losers that bring false charges. (Another one is the presumption of guilt)

#3 I gather the HR process is inquisitional; the accused is expected to accept pre-determined guilt, and then abjectly seek mitigation. What year is this?

#4 I find it all very interesting.

If you listen to the left and the prevailing conventional wisdom amongst the chattering classes, all the talk is about how the "current administration", devout Christians, and conservatives in general are eroding our freedoms.

But in reality, the opposite is true. It is secularists and leftists who are largely responsible for erosions in human freedom today. And the examples are boundless. This bit with the HRC in Canada is only the most recent example, others include:

-Speech codes and mandatory 'diversity training' in the education industry, particularly at the undergraduate level but not limited to there

-the hyperregulation in the EU which includes jail sentences for critiquing Islam, gay marriage, etc., and has in effect made it illegal for devout Catholics to practice medicine, in some cases - with said hyperregulation being some day instituted here being one of the most desired goals of the left leaning party here in the U.S.

-a so-called 'free' press in the U.S. which is almost entirely populated with far-left anti-Christian ideologues and which has no compunction about abusing their Constitutionally protected status to affect the outcome of elections

-leftists living in the West coddling and making excuses for leftist dictators like Robert Mugabe because they are absolutely terrified to have ANY person whose politics are left of center portrayed in even the most remotely negative fashion, for fear the stigma may reach themselves some day

etc.

Meanwhile, the film industry is making movies like "V" which attempt to portray conservatives and devout Christians as the ones guilty of commiting these sorts of things when the opposite is actually going on.

The words "projection" and "transference" leap to mind immediately.

#5 "In psychology, psychological projection (or projection bias) is a defense mechanism in which one attributes one’s own unacceptable or unwanted thoughts or/and emotions to others. Projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of the unwanted subconscious impulses/desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them. The theory was developed by Sigmund Freud and further refined by his daughter Anna Freud, and for this reason, it is sometimes referred to as "Freudian Projection"[1] [2]" - wiki

One of the better clown depictions. GIS for "evil clown" is impressive.
