MUST READ:  “Fire the Censors” by Terry O’Neill at National Post

Written by Joel Johannesen on Wednesday January 23 2008 at 11:12 AM

Here’s a snippet from the Op/ed in today’s National Post by Terry O’Neill called Fire the Censors, which speaks to the current “human rights” commission travesty involving Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn:

...Although the [1998] episode was virtually ignored by the mainstream media of the day, I remember it quite well because of the growing threat it posed to free speech. I especially recall that, in writing about the pro-choicers’ demands, I interviewed an erudite and eloquent public-policy expert who spoke passionately about this threat.

“Human rights commissions, as they are evolving, are an attack on our fundamental freedoms and the basic existence of a democratic society,” the man said. “It is in fact totalitarianism. I find this very scary stuff.”

That person was the president of the National Citizens Coalition, a politically astute fellow by the name of Stephen Harper, a man who, of course, has now gone on to much bigger and better things.

I don’t think it would be too much to ask of Mr. Harper now that he put his words into action, and move to amend the Canadian Human Rights Act to eliminate the commission’s censorious powers. Perhaps such a move would inspire Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach and B.C. Premier Gordon Campbell to act similarly…
