...suggest you contact the Canadian Association for Free Expression. They have the most experience in battling CHRC/CHRT complaints.
An excellent suggestion, here is the link: http://www.canadianfreespeech.com/

Here are my thoughts on the subject.
I wanted to stop by and bump this thread in support of our good neighbors across the border because apparently there are some criminal elements who seem to have an ax to grind regarding christians and conservatives addressing issues of public importance.
And if we're not very careful with who we put in office next year this kind B.S. and C.F. could very well end up making it's way over here into America.
I've been to Free Dominion. It's an excellent website where like-minded folks North of the border have a chance to address issues of public imprtance without getting urinated on by those who simply have a problem with them expressing their opinions.
The question is will this website continue to exist or will it end up being shut down by those who seem to bear grudges against christians and conservatives and have axes to grind.
If I remember correctly the political power in Canada shifted from liberals to conservatives not too long ago. One would think this would make for a much better enviroment for being able to address issues of public importance but apparently that doesn't seem to be the case.
So, our thoughts and prayers are will our friends North of the border and I urge everyone to keep this thread bumped as this could very well happen here in America.
Regards......

Bump for our friends at Free Dominion.
I remember back in the old days when they graciously provided a meeting place for FReepers when Free Republic was having pre-upgrade problems.
They deserve our support.

Is the Reverend Jack-sunnnnn a suspect? Sounds like a shakedown, or is that simply an obligatory offer to settle that must be made even if there is no intent? Remember what Auric Goldfinger said

My question was, as a poster, can I be fined for making hateful comments? The answer is yes. Don't know how they found out who the poster was (did they have to send a warrant to the owners of StormFront to release names?). Nor do I know what authority the CHRC can demand payment by?

Just go to the link and read the case. Very scary stuff. FWIW, I have no love for the POS knuckle draggers at Stormfront - but this is not about them.

Nobody knows what the complaint is about yet.
Two different people from the CHRC sat on the phone with me yesterday with the complaint in front of them and refused to tell me what it said.
So now we wait until it comes in the mail. |
I find this to be so appalling that I am at a loss for words. Our tax dollars pay the salaries of these people and this system. This is inhumane to do this to someone, policy and procedure, cover my butt, before treating my fellow human being like a person. Meanwhile you have to wait and worry plus look after your children your home and the rest.
Canada what have we done to ourselves?
Did a better democracy exist then this great country before this nonsense took hold of our country?
Was my grandfather buried alive at Vimy Ridge for this Canada?
Did my husband lose a part of his father, because he fought in Europe for four years defeating Nazis, for this Canada?
Do you people on the left appreciate the sacrifices that have been made for you, by those who fought and by those who loved the ones who fought, to live in freedom you have enjoyed. Now you live in prosperity and you want to take those same freedoms from others?
I truly feel like walking away from the whole mess of the world and living my life quietly and as best that I can. If this country wants to be so stupid and whiny then let the chips fall where they may. It will not be pretty when those chips fall. I guarantee you that the people of today who cannot handle offensive speech, will not be able to handle a real fight to protect their country when anarchy breaks loose.
So many of my hopes were put on Harper to change some if this nonsense and he does not seem too concerned about principled conservatives, a little lip service here and there. Where can a person turn? I have been worried about this charge since it broke. Worried for you personally Connie and Mark, selfishly worried for myself, and worried for our country and our freedom of expression.
As paycheck stated, everyone will be a little more careful because somebody is watching and listening ready to silence their opponents. Is this the country we want? To be treated as children. To whisper so nobody can hear what we really think? Do you lefties actually think that you can suppress thought after you have suppressed the speech you do not like? |

Here is info on complaint.....
This Marie-Line Gentes, the complainer, is quite the flake. I almost feel sorry for the Canadian Human Rights Commission, but I suppose they can't be choosy about who they represent considering the quality of people who would come to them to pull a stunt like this.
Marie-Line Gentes a wildlife biologist who studied at the University of Saskatchewan and now teaches at Vanier College in Quebec. She obviously has a serious hate on for Bill Whatcott and Free Dominion is caught in the crossfire.
The odd thing is she isn't whining about what everyone would expect, she is whining on behalf of her poor Muslim brothers and sisters. I guess she figures they are too stupid to act on their own behalf so she will condescend to do it for them.
The most ridiculous part of all is her claim that she, herself, was discriminated against. She opens with that and afterwards does nothing but cite how mean Bill Whatcott is to Muslims. She actually states that she isn't a Muslim, and never explains how it is that she was discriminated against. She only includes a couple of urls in her complaint. One is to FD's front page, the other is a link to takebackcanada.com and the other is to a thread showing one of Bill Whatcott's fliers http://www.freedominion.ca/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=56494
thread and flyer link
To: free_life
Note: the flyer is about muslim beheading of Christian girl in Indonesia. That is ok with her I guess.

Some of the lawyers looking into this are at the moment deciding how much I should publish here. I really want to put up the whole text of her absurd complaint but for the time being I will generalize.
The most ridiculous part of all is her claim that she, herself, was discriminated against. She opens with that and afterwards does nothing but cite how mean Bill Whatcott is to Muslims. She actually states that she isn't a Muslim, and never explains how it is that she was discriminated against. 'Sounds like she can't "tolerate" (sorry about using the leftist word without written permission from a card carrying leftie) the truth about islam!... geee, that's just too bad.'
She added some quotes by Bill Whatcott (without providing urls) and I will reproduce them here next.
But there seems to be two things going on here. This whacko hates Bill Whatcott and she has chased him to Free Dominion. She attacked us in order to further her pursuit on Whatcott.
Now, as a result of her personal vendetta against Whatcott, we have to defend Connie and Free Dominion from bogus hate crime accusations. We will do it, and we will win (if only in the court of public opinion), but we may as well make the best of it.
Everybody now knows what's really going on, so let's all watch the Canadian Human Rights Commission in action. The fact that this is just a personal vendetta should have no effect on their attacks on Free Dominion at all. We fully expect this to continue.
Theresa notes:
This is actually scarier then I originally thought it would be. A person can put people through this mess both emotionally and financially, (you already need lawyers) because she feels discriminated against by a comment that has no association with her person in any way shape or form. Is this for real? Unbelievable. I am truly stunned.
How much money do we Canadians pay for the HRC?
From Entropy Squared:
Warning!!!!!!!
Potential Human Rights Abuse Zone
What follows is not for the faint of heart. If you are not a Muslim do not read the following quotes by Bill Whatcott or you may end up being discriminated against or something.
According to this Gentes chick, she has been discriminated against because Bill Whatcott posted the following on FD.
From the complaint:
03/09/06 "To see the original hitting Edmonton mailboxes tonight. (warning disturbing but necessary photo) http://takebackcanada.com/whatcott.html "
04/24/06 "I can't figure out why the homosexuals I ran into are on the side of the Muslims. After all, Muslims who practice Sharia law tend to advocate beheading homosexuals."
03/09/06 "I defy Islamic censorship and speak about what I believe is the truth about violent Islamism and its threat to religious liberty in Canada."
If you are not a Muslim and you have read the above, according to Gentes, you have been discriminated against. I imagine everyone is writhing on the floor right now but I'm not done discriminating against you yet. I'm going to reproduce some more stuff from her complaint to further torture you. These she added with no accreditation, but she doesn't seem to be attributing them to Whatcott:
"How many of us pay nothing but lip service to the Muslim threat here in Canada?"
"Probably everyone want to jail a Muslim."
"I have to ask why we are importing them here?"
"Islamic fundamentalism and its threat to Canada's religious and civil liberties."
Had enough? Say, "Uncle!"
That's it, infidels, you have been discriminated against. I wonder now if I'm a human rights violater too because I printed this. Maybe if somebody quotes they will become criminals too. You can't tell with the Human Rights Commission, they make it up as they go along.

- 8:00am Free Dominion's lawyer receives faxed copy of complaint from Canadian Human Rights Commission.
- 4:00pm We get home from school and get copy of complaint ourselves.
The complainant is an infidel named Marie-Lines Gentes. She has complained that she was discriminated against because Bill Whatcott posted some things she didn't like about Muslims at Free Dominion. This woman appears to be on a personal vendetta against Mr. Whatcott and this bogus complaint is merely collateral damage from her point of view. She is not a Muslim, herself, and she completely fails to explain how Mr. Whatcott's postings discriminate against her, or have anything to do with her at all.
The following are the offending posts, attributed by her to Bill Whatcott:
03/09/06 "To see the original hitting Edmonton mailboxes tonight. (warning disturbing but necessary photo) http://takebackcanada.com/whatcott.html "
04/24/06 "I can't figure out why the homosexuals I ran into are on the side of the Muslims. After all, Muslims who practice Sharia law tend to advocate beheading homosexuals."
03/09/06 "I defy Islamic censorship and speak about what I believe is the truth about violent Islamism and its threat to religious liberty in Canada."
Gentes also claims she was discriminated against due to the appearance of the following posts which she claims appeared at Free Dominion.
"How many of us pay nothing but lip service to the Muslim threat here in Canada?"
"Probably everyone want to jail a Muslim."
"I have to ask why we are importing them here?"
"Islamic fundamentalism and its threat to Canada's religious and civil liberties."
