Political Censorship in Canada: The Thought Control Freaks at the Canadian Human Rights Commission Tried to Prosecute Webmaster Marc Lemire for This Satirical Poem<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\n

Satire is the use of humour and exaggeration for social criticism. Few creatures on God’s green earth are more joyless and humourless than the politically correct. Even a jackass occasionally cracks a smile. And there are few people more humourless than the Canadian Human Rights Commission thought police. In a Richard Warman complaint (yes, who else, but the complaint champion?), Marc Lemire was accused of exposing privileged minorities to “hatred or contempt” for publishing what has been referred to as “the Immigrant Poem” on his website, The Freedomsite.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This poem in one form or another has circulated around the office water cooler for 30 years. While Marc Lemire was not convicted, that such harmless political satire could ever land a person in trouble shows how bitter is the struggle for the freedom of speech of Canada’s dispossessed European Majority.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Luckily, in June of this year, Sec. 13, the censorship provision of the Canadian Human Rights Act, was finally repealed by Parliament.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CAFE played a major role in the battle to rid Canada of at least this weapon of thought control.<\/p>\n

\nI cross ocean, poor and broke.
\nTake bus, see employment folk.<\/p>\n

Nice man treat me good in there.
\nSay I need to see welfare.<\/p>\n

Welfare say, ‘You come no more, we send cash right to your door.’<\/p>\n

Welfare cheques – they make you wealthy!\u00a0Alberta\u00a0Health Care\u00a0– it keep you healthy!<\/p>\n

By and by, I get plenty money.
\nThanks to you, you\u00a0Canadian dummy!<\/p>\n

Write to friends in motherland.
\nTell them ‘come fast as you can.’
\n\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>
\nThey come in turbans and Ford trucks,
\nAnd buy big house with welfare bucks!<\/p>\n

They come here, we live together.
\nMore welfare cheques, it gets better!
\n\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0<\/a>
\nFourteen families, they moving in,
\nbut neighbour’s patience wearing thin.
\nFinally,\u00a0Canadian guy moves away.
\nNow I buy his house, then I say,
\n\u00a0<\/a>
\n‘Find more immigrants for house to rent.’
\nAnd in the yard I put a tent.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

Everything is very good,
\nand soon we own the neighbourhood.
\n\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

We have hobby, it’s called breeding. Welfare pay for baby feeding.
\nKids need dentist? Wives need pills? We get free! We got no bills!
\nCanadians crazy! They work all year, to keep the welfare running here.
\nWe think Canada darn good place.
\nToo darn good for\u00a0that white race!
\nIf they no like us, they can scram. Got lots of room in Afghanistan!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
