You’re absolutely right. That’s why I recommended Ezra Levant’s book, its amazing how the human rights apparatus in Canada was absolutely unprepared to deal with someone who would dare stand up to them.

I really am amazed at what the citizens of Canada and England are letting their governments get away with.

If it (at least for a while) distracts the human rights bureacracy in Canada from trampling on free speech, harassing bloggers and generally trying to criminalize hurting someone’s feelings, I’m okay with that.

Essential reading on the state of human rights in Canada:

Another diff is that dogs really love people.

He suggested they do so on “the restitution couch.”

Yike if i made that up, i think i would make it into the bad sex in fiction awards.

I suffer from major depression, but the existence of chihuahuas makes it worse, not better.
