The Code is gonna get you

Blazingcatfur sent me to this chilling post about how human rights tribunals have already forced publications to print material.

Just as they have forced mayors to proclaim gay pride days, forced people say things that are against their conscience and religion.

This post shows how old this problem is and how asleep at the switch most of us have been. David Burlingham writes:

Reading about this, I remembered that the Tribunal has, in fact, used its power to order a publication to print certain things. The second Doug Collins case had such a remedy as part of its outcome, as well as the Boissoin case in Alberta and the Owens case in Saskatchewan. In Collins, which was the case of a holocaust denier disseminating his beliefs in a newspaper column, the Tribunal ordered the offending publication, North Shore News, to run a summary of the tribunal member's reasons. The tribunal member did not cite any specific subsection of the Human Rights Code in support of this remedy, stating only that"[t]he Code also provides the Tribunal with broad discretionary powers to remedy the effects of conduct that contravenes the Code."

Watch out folks, the Code is gonna get you. And the enforcers don't even need to cite any reasons. The Code has its reasons, the mind cannot even comprehend.
