Never get in an argument with a man who buys toner by the pallet.

Never heard it put that way. But so true.

Nice little nugget near the end of Hannaford's piece:

...those who would limit speech should realize one can be in the saddle today and under the horse's heels tomorrow.

These punks think they'll always be on top because they are sooo much smarter. Ask Madame Ceausescu how it works out if they go to far.

When we lived on Cape Cod we had a small rental unit behind the house. We got a response from a real gentleman, a middle aged bachelor who cooked and read books and was professionally employed. After a week of taking applications, he was at the top of the list and we called him to let him know that he could move in at his leisure and we'd prepare the paper work.

He had a change of heart and politely bailed out.

Did I mention that he was a black guy? Who cares? He was the kind of tenant landlords pray to get. We was tested, which we didn't realize until months later when there was a story about that type of thing happening, trolling for grievances.

Thanks for the info.

Obviously, publicizing the activities of this court should raise a public outcry for its demise.

It's truly difficult to understand how -- in a first world country like Canada, with a history of personal liberty -- something like the HRC could have been enacted in the first place.

That’s Pierre Trudeau’s legacy in action. He worked harder than any politician in history to eradicate our values.

Our weapon is fear and surprise. Two! Our two main weapons are fear and surprise and someone else’s Internet connection!

I meant three ...

Awesome Steyn; thanks so much for the ping! A very bright light needs to illuminate these dark corners, and in this case, that light is named Mark Steyn. Thank heavens for this brilliant man who will NOT be silenced by this intimidation of free ideas!

I’d pay good money to see the video when he is brought before this “commission”.
