Human Rights Commission getting owned! About time!!

[OutlawTomFantastic]

This lady is out of her league.

This is the current PC government who has promoted and encouraged the expansion of these kangaroo courts. Get the Wildrose in and they will be gone.

This is terrible, but I couldn't listen to all of it.  I felt bad for her, and had to stop. I don't agree with Mr. Levant completely, but in this case he is utterly in the right.

whats wrong with that woman/bitch?

@scaryteri8 You are very kind, thank you. It's not everyday that I actually make progress on an argument, so thank you very much.

@darwinkilledgod You know what? You're probably the first person on a youtube comment thread who actually said something that I had to stop and chew over for several days. And here's the best part - I believe you have changed my mind, you are right. I could not really come up with a human rights violation that couldn't be handled by a Labour Board, a court, or other institution we already have. If HRC needs to go, then the answer must be that the rest of them need to do their jobs better.

@scaryteri8 I think you're missing my point. Here's my challenge. Name something that is: a) not a crime that the police would investigate, and b) is something we would want the HRC looking into.

[scaryteri8]

@darwinkilledgod That's what I was saying, what Ezra did was NOT a crime at all, and didn't need an investigation, but I do believe that having a department within our government that monitors individuals and corporate interests in their respect of basic human rights, that is still a good thing. But I'm talking about serious abuse of human rights, where people are being deprived of personal freedom in the literal sense. Those kinds of things still go on, even in Canada, HRC needs an overhaul.
