Description Meeting No. 43 JUST – Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights
What’s so special about the 43rd meeting of the Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights?
…Jennifer Lynch of the CHRC, Mark Freiman and Bernie Farber of the CJC will present their justifications for the continued circumvention and erosion of Canadians fundamental right to Freedom of Speech and established criminal justice principles, notably due process. Richard Moon will hopefully expand on his expressed distaste for the “tone” of the public debate, otherwise known as democracy.
So expect the worst from them and even less of the Liberal and NDP committee members, after all Section 13 (1) was cynically born of the brokerage politics that hides behind the decayed mask of official multiculturalism and the need by politicians to be seen as “taking action” – otherwise known as vote buying. Section 13 (1) is legislation that brings visions of votes dancing through the heads of short sighted politicians giddy with the belief that minorities are homogeneous voting blocs. This will likely remain the case for our out of touch politicos who imagine advocacy groups are always representative of their alleged constituencies best interests and despite the fact that the campaign to rid Canada of Section 13 (1) has proven to be as non-partisan and grassroots an effort as any I have witnessed, garnering overwhelming public and institutional support.
Don’t forget: the Jennifer Lynch Drinking Game. If you have to listen to a laundry list of lies and double-talk, you might as well get plastered while you do it!
In all seriousness, though, this one is worth a watch; if you want to see what the “other side” of the fight for true freedom of speech in Canada is all about, Lynch is the woman to give a hearing to. Be prepared, though, to despair that such a person could ever be employed by a government department anywhere outside the Soviet Union.
