The Alberta Human Rights Commission is at it again.

The latest embarrassment from this out-of-control government agency is their gift of tax dollars to a group called “Racism Free Edmonton.” It’s an ironic name, because the world view of Racism Free Edmonton is racist itself.

The Alberta Human Rights Commission is a specialist at the Orwellian perversion of language. Their counterfeit “right not to be offended” has meant the infringement of real rights, like freedom of speech.

What is Racism Free Edmonton’s advice for stopping racism? You must “acknowledge your white privilege.”

They say white Canadians “have likely harmed non-white people with our own whiteness.” Sorry, the only people I know who talk that way are race-obsessed bigots.And in case you aren’t willing to be called a racist just because you’re born white, Racism Free Edmonton has another insult for you: You’re just a racist in denial of your racism. And denying your racism “perpetuates racism.”The last time a government tried that logic was in the 1690s in Salem, Mass. There, 150 people were arrested and accused of witchcraft. Of course, most denied it — which is exactly the sort of thing you’d expect a witch to say.So let’s be a little more accurate. Racism Free Edmonton should be called Racism Edmonton. They have violated our rights as individuals to be judged on our own merits, by our own words and deeds.

On parle souvent de la montée de la droite dans le champ politique. Or rien n,est plus intéressant à consédier que ce positionnement des réprésentants les plus en vue de la droite sur la question juive. En fait tout se passe comme si la droite devenait de plus en plus pro israelinne avec certaines exceptions. Des exceptions soiet trop à droite ou trop à guche, si Lon peut dire. Dans une entrevue passé jean Marie le pen s'était dit choqué de traimtent fait par les iraelins lors de l'invasion de Gaza comme il s'était dit en désaccord alors ce double standard voualnt que si LIran devait être condamé pour son programme nucléaire , il était étrange que d,autres pays s,étant doté de cette m^me arme secrètement ne le soient pas.
