(Kathy Shaidle - "Where The Night Porter is a chick flick.")

By the way, Kathy and four other Canadian bloggers are getting sued by perennial plaintiff Richard Warman before the Canadian Human Rights Commission for being meanies and getting him all butthurt. Thought it couldn't happen here, eh? Canada isn't that far away, physically or politically. You might want to throw a couple of bucks Kathy's way, or Ezra's, or Kate's. The CHRC gets to spend all the taxpayer loonies they want, but their victims aren't so fortunate.

THe comment by a HRC member, "Freedom of Speech is really an American idea, we don't worry about it." or something like that was troubling. Also I saw someone quote the Canadian Charter which DOES grant Freedom of Speech as a granted right, somewhat different than the American Constitution that recognizes it as a God Given inalienable right

Yeah. I wonder how many of the people who rant about moving there if the elections don't go their way have ever really looked at Canada and realize that it's not just America with different faces on the dollar bills?

Actually, I have (but it might have helped that my sister did move from the U.S. to Canada). Some years back I remember coming across the search and seizure laws up there, and thinking, "Oh dear...." I don't know if they've changed, since this was about 20 some years back.

Oh, great icon!

I'm guessing they haven't, since the Tories have only been back in power for about a year.

Glad you like the icon; it's on loan from [livejournal.com profile] marainsanity.
