You know the mission to denormalize Canada's corrupt and abusive human rights commissions has reached a certain level of success when the HRCs are the punchline in popular jokes -- or, in this humour column in the Globe and Mail, the basis for a whole satirical "human rights" trial: Rudolph vs. Santa. Some excerpts:
In December of 2006, this rights commission was asked to investigate claims of discrimination based on physical disability with regards to a reindeer, Rudolph.
...Rudolph suffers from a facial disfigurement.
...The commission finds this case to be troubling from start to finish. Its members note with sadness that the North Pole is dominated by a judgmental and Manichean character who divides the world into “naughty” and “nice.” Rudolph's systematic exclusion clearly comes from the top in a community that is controlled in all its aspects by a single employer.
There is little in that regard to distinguish the North Pole from any single-company town in apartheid-era South Africa, pre-First World War Ireland or the current New Brunswick.
The commission is also troubled that Santa Claus only intervened on behalf of a victim of repeated discrimination when his company's fortunes were on the line. While lawyers acting for SCHI [Santa Claus Holdings Inc.] at the hearings argued that the hiring of Rudolph was a clear indication of the company's policy of inclusion, the commission feels that it was motivated by a venal goal and that the company only played it otherwise after complaints were made to the commission.
RECOMMENDATIONS
The commission therefore finds that:
* SCHI discriminated against Rudolph, and it should pay Rudolph the sum of $18.5-million in damages.
* SCHI must immediately begin tolerance and diversity programs for all of its employees, starting at the top.

I like it
To the HRC I bet many say “I fart in your general direction”!
To wastedyears, That was funny and made me laugh! eh!
The lefty G & M is the so-called NYT of Canada, so this little tidbit by them is extremely surprising.
Just a fantasy, but wouldn’t it be nice if, before leaving office GWB declares all members of the Canadian Human Rights Commissions to be undesirable aliens and barred for life from United States Territory?
