Canada’s ‘Human Rights Commission’ Hits Bottom, Digs

Canada is getting incredibly weird. I thought when Stephen Harper was elected that things would take a turn for the better, but the Orwellian madness of the Alberta Human Rights Commission has now entered the realm of the surreal: Alberta’s HRC: breeding the next generation of complainers.
Yesterday I mentioned the new propaganda document circulated by the Alberta human rights commission. It’s disgusting to begin with, but the fact that it is deliberately targetting new immigrants is downright vile. The Alberta human rights commission — in other words, the Government of Alberta — is trying to persuade newcomers to Alberta to support their grievance industry, and become little race hustlers, little Al Sharptons, just like Khurrum Awan of the Canadian Islamic Congress. It makes sense; complaints are down 15% year over year in Alberta; if all of those professional race hustlers in Ed Stelmach’s government are going to keep their jobs, they need new complaints, and fast.
I read through the propaganda brochure again, and I thought I’d highlight a few bits.
Let’s start with this one, called “Maria’s story”. I can tell you right now, having read every ruling issued by the Alberta HRC is recent years, that there is no “Maria”, and there is no “Maria’s story”. There has never been a ruling about a woman whose parents came to Canada from Mexico, who was upset about Mexican jokes that aren’t funny.
It’s a fabrication. That’s called propaganda — telling new Latino immigrants that they’re coming to a bigoted province, where Mexicans are treated poorly.
But let’s look at “Maria’s story”. A co-worker “tells jokes about Mexicans. I don’t think the jokes are funny. She doesn’t tell jokes about other people.”
According to the government, “that is discrimination”, and thus illegal.
