Human Rights Commission Horror Stories - Steven Boissoin

Ezra Levant explains the situation surrounding a teacher and a pastor that was heard by the Commission. Steven Boissoin, the pastor in question, found out the hard way that in Canada your freedom of speech is surpassed by another person's right to not be offended. A costly lesson in this case.

Excellent SlackerSlayer, yelling fire is a right. The bill of rights are absolute rights. It can be no other way. Now, if there is a stampede and someone dies because you lied when you yelled fire, that can have criminal consequences. Still, it is a right. It is a question of actual crime vs. pre-crime. Free speech restrictions, among other things, are aimed at creating pre-crime. That's nonsense. Just like arresting for resisting arrest without an initial cause for that arrest.

this has to be one of the most ascanine statements i have ever read, let christians suffer because gays have, fuck is that ever idiotic.

@Subher0 If someone says you're a Nazi and you're not, then you have recourse to slander in the courts. If someone spouts Nazi propaganda, then we learn what kind of person that is and we can argue with his pathetic, hateful position.

@ufloetz I agree that your brother had a valid complaint and having sex in a common bathroom is not acceptable for anyone. But your attitude towards gays is not valid. They have as much right to a sex life as you do. What they do in privacy is none of your business, or the government's.

Why are so many people so interested in the sex lives of others? And no, I am not gay. I am married with 5 children, but I respect the rights of people who were born wired differently than I am.

@wqpeb I don't pray because there is no god. My love of freedom of speech means that I would allow the pastor to have the bigoted, homophobic, hateful words of his religion. Maybe, someday the world will get rid of bigotry against gays and women like we got rid of slavery (in the western world), even though religion promoted it for centuries.

Pray for Canada and especially Ontario. We have now come to that sorry condition that Scripture talks about when a people reach that point where it is no longer possible for God to restrain His anger. We are responsible for our own demise as a nation. Gay people are not the problem....we all are.

[EphraimManasseh]

Those who limit free speech, debate and the exchange of ideas are evil. Stating one's positions, opinions and beliefs is not a crime. Arguing against another's lifestyle, position, opinions or beliefs is not a crime. Let matters be settled with words. Let matters not be settled at the point of a gun. If one side of the political debate is muzzled and cannot speak - how then will the matter be settled? Guns instead of words? The free flow of words, ideas, debate & arguments is of first importance

wow..the court room must b full of white victims...sorry i mean the criminals..

My brother went to school at the U of C and one faggot was fucking the other one in the ass in the common bathroom.

He complained and they said that he was anti gay and everything else, nothing was done. We are at a police state pretty much. STOP VOTING ANYTHING LEFT OF CONERVATIVE.

@eiwaz Perfect example of freedom of speech. You can say I'm a nazi, but freedom of speech clearly doesn't guarantee you're protected from other people's stupid comments. Shouting "fire" when there is no fire is not freedom of speech. In this specific case, you're not free to shout fire with the intent on causing panic. Wouldn't you agree?

@Subher0 How about if everyone stops being such namby pamby pansies and we each exercise some self control? You sound like a faggot Nazi. Fuck your fascist laws! Freedom is a foreign concept to scumbags like you. You don't understand it and you never will. Go take your totalitarian nanny state mentality somewhere else. There's no place for it in these United Sates.
