Captain Airhead Strikes<\/a>\u00a0 Again<\/a>!<\/a><\/strong><\/h1>\n
<\/div>\n
It has been almost two years since a gullible Canadian electorate was duped into giving the Liberal Party a majority government in the last Dominion election. This means that that government, headed by Captain Airhead, is approaching the half-way point in its four year mandate. It has recently been reported that the Grits have passed less than half the legislation in that time than the previous Conservative government had. This is not surprising. The Prime Minister has been far too busy flying around the world, handing out money, and looking for photo-ops, all at the taxpayers\u2019 expense, to actually do the job of governing the country. John Ibbitson,\u00a0 writing in the\u00a0Globe and Mail<\/i>,\u00a0<\/a>made the observation that \u201cthe amount of legislation a Parliament creates matters less than the quality of that legislation.\u201d As true as that is, the quality of the bills the Trudeau Grits have passed is enough to make one wish that they had, the moment they were sworn in, called a term-length recess of Parliament and sent every member on a four-year paid Caribbean vacation.<\/p>\n
One example of this is Bill C-16, which passed its third-reading in the Senate on Thursday, June 15th and which was signed into law by the Governor-General on Monday, June 19th. Bill C-16 is a bill which amends both the Canadian Human Rights Act and the Criminal Code. To the former it adds \u201cgender identity or expression\u201d to the list of grounds of discrimination prohibited by the Act. To the latter it adds the same to Section 318, the \u201chate propaganda\u201d clause of the Code. The Canadian Human Rights Act and Section 318 of the Criminal Code were both inflicted upon us by the present premier\u2019s father in his long reign of terror and it would have been better had the present Parliament passed legislation striking both out of existence rather than amending them to increase the number of ways in which they can be used to persecute Canadians. When, a century and a half ago, the Fathers of Confederation put together the British North America Act which, coming into effect on July 1, 1867, established the Dominion of Canada as a new nation within what would soon develop into the British Commonwealth of Nations, their intention was to create a free country, whose citizens, English and French, as subjects of the Crown, would possess all the freedoms and the protection of all the rights that had accumulated to such in over a thousand years of legal evolution. The CHRA and Section 318 do not belong in such a country \u2013 they are more appropriate to totalitarian regimes like the former Soviet Union, Maoist China, and the Third Reich.<\/p>\n
The CHRA, which Parliament passed in 1977 during the premiership of Pierre Trudeau, prohibits discrimination on a variety of grounds including race, religion, sex, and country of origin. It applies in a number of different areas with the provision of goods and services, facilities and accommodations, and employment being chief among them. Those charged with enforcing this legislation have generally operated according to an unwritten rule that it is only discrimination when whites, Christians, and males are the perpetrators rather than the victims, but even if that were not the case, the very idea of a law of this sort runs contrary to the basic principles of our traditional freedoms and system of justice. It dictates to employers, landlords, and several other people, what they can and cannot be thinking when conducting the everyday affairs of their business. It establishes a special police force and court \u2013 the Canadian Human Rights Commission and Tribunal respectively \u2013 to investigate and sit in judgement upon those private thoughts and prejudices. Those charged do not have the protection of the presumption of innocence because the CHRA is classified as civil rather than criminal law.<\/p>\n
There are more protections for defendants under Section 318 because it is part of the Criminal Code but it is still a bad law. Incitement of criminal violence was already against the law long before Section 318 was added. It is not, therefore, the incitement of criminal violence per se that Section 318 was introduced to combat, for the existing laws were sufficient, but the thinking and verbal expression of thoughts that the Liberal Party has decided Canadians ought not to think and speak.<\/p>\n
Bill C-16 takes these bad laws and makes them even worse. By adding \u201cgender identity and expression\u201d to the prohibited grounds of discrimination the Liberals are adding people who think and say that they belong to a gender that does not match up with their biological birth sex to the groups protected from discrimination. Now, ordinarily when people think they are something they are not, like, for example, the man who thinks he is Julius Caesar, we, if we are decent people, would say that this is grounds for pity and compassion, but we would not think of compelling others to go along with the delusion. Imagine a law that says that we have to regard a man who thinks he is Julius Caesar as actually being the Roman general! Such a law would be crazier than the man himself!<\/p>\n
Bill C-16 is exactly that kind of law. Don\u2019t be fooled by those who claim otherwise. The discrimination that trans activists, the Trudeau Liberals and their noise machine, i.e., the Canadian media, and everyone else who supports this bill, all want to see banned, is not just the refusing of jobs or apartments to transgender people but the refusal to accept as real a \u201cgender identity\u201d that does not match up with biological sex. Dr. Jordan Peterson, a professor at the University of Toronto who has been fighting this sort of nonsense at the provincial level for years, and who testified against the Bill before the Senate committee that reviewed it,\u00a0 has warned<\/a>\u00a0that it could lead to someone being charged with a \u201chate crime\u201d for using the pronoun \u2013 \u201che\u201d or \u201cshe\u201d \u2013 that lines up with a person’s birth sex, rather than some alternative pronoun made-up to designate that person\u2019s \u201cgender identity.\u201d Supporters of the bill have mocked this assertion but we have seen this sort of thing before \u2013 progressives propose some sort of measure, someone points out that the measure will have this or that negative consequence, the progressives ridicule that person, and then, when the measure is passed and has precisely the negative consequences predicted, say that those negatively affected deserved it in the first place.<\/p>\n
Indeed, progressive assurances that Peterson\u2019s fears are unwarranted ring incredibly hollow when we consider that the Ontario Human Rights Commission has said that \u201crefusing to refer to a trans person by their chosen name and a personal pronoun that matches their gender identity\u201d would be considered discrimination under a similar clause in Ontario\u2019s provincial Human Rights Code, if it were to take place in a context where discrimination in general is prohibited, such as the workplace. Bruce Pardy, Professor of Law at Queen\u2019s University,\u00a0 writing in the\u00a0National Post<\/i><\/a>, explains that this new expansion of human rights legislation goes way beyond previous \u201chate speech\u201d laws in its infringement upon freedom of speech. \u201cWhen speech is merely restricted, you can at least keep your thoughts to yourself,\u201d Pardy writes, but \u201cCompelled speech makes people say things with which they disagree.\u201d<\/p>\n
It is too much, perhaps, to expect Captain Airhead to understand or care about this. Like his father before him \u2013 and indeed, every Liberal Prime Minister going back to and including Mackenzie King \u2013 he has little to no appreciation of either the traditional freedoms that are part of Canada\u2019s British heritage or the safeguards of those freedoms bequeathed us by the Fathers of Confederation in our parliamentary government under the Crown. For a century, Liberal governments have whittled away at every parliamentary obstacle to the absolute power of a Prime Minister backed by a House majority. The powers of the Crown, Senate, and the Opposition in the House to hold the Prime Minister and his Cabinet accountable have all been dangerously eroded in this manner. Last year the present government attempted to strip Her Majesty\u2019s Loyal Opposition of what few means it has left of delaying government legislation.\u00a0The motion in question was withdrawn<\/a>\u00a0after the Prime Minister came under strong criticism for behaving like a spoiled, bullying, petty thug in the House but it revealed his character. These Opposition powers are a necessary safeguard against Prime Ministerial dictatorship but Captain Airhead, the son of an admirer of Stalin and Mao, regards them, like the freedoms they protect, as an unacceptable hindrance to his getting his way as fast as he possibly can. Years ago, George Grant wrote that the justices of the American Supreme Court in\u00a0Roe v Wade<\/i>\u00a0had \u201cused the language of North American liberalism to say yes to the very core of fascist thought – the triumph of the will.\u201d This is also the modus operandi of Captain Airhead and the Liberal Party of Canada.<\/span><\/p>\n
