The only proper reform is to disband these increasingly unruly agencies.<BR/><BR/>Let real courts protect our human rights like they always have.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640844117742326726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-30480193764650386052008-04-12T09:34:00.000-04:002008-04-12T09:34:00.000-04:00when the OHRC says Maclean's contributes to Islamo...<I>when the OHRC says Maclean's contributes to Islamophobiatitis but that it has no legal authority to say so, that is backpedalling.

You idiots don't seem to understand that anyone can make a complaint, just like Lemire's been making ludicrous criminal complaints lately. The <BR/>HRC has to listen, just like the police have to make a report when someone claims a crime has been committed. That doesn't mean a hearing will be held or an arrest made.<BR/><BR/>It just means that even liars and idiots have to be taken somewhat seriously until it's established they're lying or being an idiot. It's basically the same policy that allows you to live.Reality Biteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10350104223630062677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-91707499784082573902008-04-10T16:22:00.000-04:002008-04-10T16:22:00.000-04:00One more time BCL.

In spite of the OHRC finding Maclean's guilty of Islamophobia, they retreated from hearing the case because they have no legal authority to do so.<BR/><BR/>Seriously, you can't find it that difficult to understand.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00640844117742326726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23292180.post-21049412338001358362008-04-10T16:01:00.000-04:002008-04-10T16:01:00.000-04:00You have to retreat FROM something Paul.
