KULASZKA: "Mr. Steacy, you were talking before about context and how important it is when you do your investigation. What value do you give freedom of speech when you investigate one of these complaints?" MR. STEACY: "Freedom of speech is an American concept, so I don't give it any value". MS. KULASZKA: "Okay. That was a clear answer". MR. STEACY: "It's not my job to give value to an American concept". It's not that Steacy rejects "freedom of speech." He simply doesn't believe in the concept of a pluralistic democracy where people actually have a constitutional guarantee that the government won't be able to silence them just because someone like Steacy says so. These are, of course, blatantly fascist, totalitarian concepts. Steacy treats the Canadian Charter of Rights with utter contempt. Thus, my friends, this is how we are served by a top investigative civil servant on the Federal payroll. And where, pray tell, did he develop such ideas? With the KGB or Gestapo perhaps? Why, no! With the so-called Canadian Human Rights Commission. So that the public is sure to recognize the power and authority their employees, it is time for the Commission to perhaps dress them in new black uniforms, with silver braid and red armbands. It creates a very smart appearance! Before the Canadian Human Rights Commission this year:

They can't even reason logically! Are we going to find in a few years that our legal system has become like our medical system, honeycombed with half-educated Third World quacks who create mayhem wherever they go?

Kick these guys and the human rights commissions back into the past where they are firmly rooted.
