Why would the government need an Ontario Human Rights Commission and an Anti-Racism Directorate?
Ontario is set to establish a fascist thought and speech
control directorate. It is called the “Anti-Racism Directorate.”
This directorate of thought and speech control is going to
work with “business, community organizations, educational institutions, and the
Ontario Human Rights Commission (!), with the aim to increase public awareness of
racism to create a more inclusive province and apply an anti-racism ‘lens’ in
developing, implementing and evaluating government policies, programs, and
services.”
Thought control police I would expect from the Liberals and
the NDP. What I did not expect was support from Patrick Brown, leader of
the Progressive Conservative party, who said that thought policing was a
good idea and long overdue.
The alleged reason for establishing the directorate now, as
opposed to ten years ago, according to Premier Wynne, was The Black Lives
Matter movement, the issue of carding, and, tellingly, “the issue of the Syrian
refugee crisis.”
The Black lives matter movement is an American phenomenon
based upon policing policies not employed in Canada. Carding was
developed while a certain Dalton McGuinty was Premier.
The problem with ‘issue of the Syrian refugee crisis’ puts
in mind the massive official cover-up by police and politicians of the sexual
assaults that occurred across Germany on New Year’s Eve, specifically the fact
that refugees were the perpetrators. Like Chancellor Merkel, it seems
that Wynne does not want that discussion, for reasons I cannot fathom, save
that Syrian refugees are the political flavor of the month and the Liberal party
has a lot invested in that policy.
Given how little racism is an actual problem in Ontario, the
danger of the directorate lies in the creativity it will have to employ to
justify its existence. If the Premier says there is a problem with racism
in Ontario, the directorate had damn well better find some, and then loudly
correct it.
Politicians like Wynne, Andrea Horwath, and Patrick Brown
live a coddled existence; they don’t have to endure the consequences of their
misguided policies. Refugees and thought and speech control won’t affect
them personally, ever. The same can’t be said for ordinary people who do
not have a position of political privilege and who might wish to exercise their
ordinary right of free speech and to hold free thoughts as mere citizens of
Canada.
Only Ontario’s budget problem saves Ontarians from even
greater repression by progressivism.
Lest you have any doubt about
the fascist, thought-controlling tendencies of progressive governments, you
need look no further than the NDP government of Alberta and what it tried to do
to The Rebel publication. The NDP government hired a law firm to tell
Ezra Levant, no less, that his reporters were not journalists and used that
claim as justification for freezing them out. Only an outcry from other
journalists caused Premier Notley to back down, which only proves that she is
without principles.
