This will not stop while men are 'reasonable'.
Unreasonable officials should be handled unreasonably.
"I was always willing to be reasonable until I had to be unreasonable. Sometimes reasonable men must do unreasonable things." St. Marvin of the Komatsu
If even 5% of men stood up like him, our society would be 10x better.
So, by trying to use a kinder term for what it is, the dude gets hit with a defamation suit. Then he loses on a classic muh dictionary definition argument.
Yeah, that's about right for current year.
Canada has insane laws about this. Mark Stein had to move to the US because of this. Anyone that files a defamation case gets a free government lawyer. It is basically guaranteed that you will win $40,000 for even the tiniest slight.
This kind of law would be great if it applied to communists when they go into the -ist and -phobe accusation loops, but you know it doesn't.
FALSE. You don't get free defamation case lawyers in Canada.
I believe you're confusing real courts with the Human Rights Commissions- these are quasi-judicial kangaroo courts where a gov bureaucrat (who needs 0 experience in law) decides if you're complaint that your human rights were violated then that bureaucrat acts as judge/jury/executioner.
This was a real court- Canada just has very lax defamation laws compared to the US where you need to prove actual damages.
Ok. A minor error but the results is the same. Government is set up to silence thought. And Mark Stein now lives in the US because of it.
What the actual fuck?
Just your daily reminder that Canada is not a democracy. They should have just stayed home during WWII; they'd probably be better off as a vassel state of the Germans or Japs.
At this point, the West would have been better off if the Axis won the war. Or better still, WWI never happened in the first place.
The only solution to Canada is to bulldoze the entire population into the ocean and then start over.
