Way back in 2007, Vancouver journalist Terry O’Neill, former editor of the Western Report magazine—and, until his success in municipal politics, a co-host at RoadKill Radio—wrote an Op-Ed for the National Post that called for ‘human rights’ legislation to be drastically altered, to prevent such tribunals from behaving like ‘Star Chamber’ inquisitions and trampling on Canadians’ rights of free speech, freedom of opinion and expression, and freedom of religion.

We urgently need masses of Canadians to endorse Mr. O’Neill’s call for protection of our rights. NOW! How? Write or phone your MP!

In 1857, American anti-slavery activist Frederick Douglass warned:

Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what people will submit to, and you have found out the exact amount of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

But wait. Aren’t words like “tyrants” and “oppression” a bit too strong for a constitutional democracy like Canada?

As Jonah Goldberg points out in his book Liberal Fascism, it has long been understood that when fascism inevitably comes to the democracies of the West, it will come as a smiley-faced, “nice” fascism, full of good intentions.

So who will bell the cat? Who will make the HRCs and judges keep to their proper spheres? It must be the people; and to do it, we must start electing MPs who are willing to endure the media’s scorn to defend the freedoms for which earlier generations were willing to risk their very lives

So how do you take up arms and become a freedom fighter? It’s not hard: you write to your MP—or better, visit him or her at the constituency office you pay for—and tell them that this is a “make-or-break” issue for you, when the next election rolls around—say that it will definitely determine how your vote. Then, when the next election is called, be as good as your word: ask each candidate to commit to your personal list of “wedge” issues: right to life, defending normal marriage, protecting freedom of expression. And if you can’t find a candidate who is willing to commit to defending your freedom, spoil your ballot.

  1. Yes. I’ll go for sure. Terry stood up for me (and my wife) out of a sense of patriotism and knowing what was right and what isn’t. For me there isn’t a choice even.

  2. Just a historic pointer. The Independent “Solidarity” Trade Union in Poland forced major concessions on then almost absolute, backed by the most powerful nuclear state Polish marionette government in August 1980. It survived the 1981 general Wojciech Jaruzelski, a traitor and Soviet servant’s imposition of martial law and heavy-handed crackdown on the 13th of December 1981 and, less than nine years later, the Soviet empire imploded and the corrupt Red Army occupying Poland and eastern Europe went where it came from in 1945. The corrupt child protection industry will be eradicated as well if we learn from history. We`ll have to keep pounding and refrain from violence. This wicked industry is afraid of the truth as a vampire of garlic.
