The OHRC dropped their deal against Steyn and Maclean's. Here's my take in the Sun:
What a bunch of chickens.
The OHRC has decided not to hear the case filed against Maclean's magazine for running an excerpt of Mark Steyn's book, perhaps because the Commission already consulted its legal Magic 8-Ball and found the magazine guilty.
The OHRC won't hear the case, yet it "strongly condemns the Islamophobic portrayal of Muslims, Arabs, South Asians and indeed any racialized community in the media, such as the Maclean's article and others like them."
That's the judicial equivalent of a hit-and-run. Did they try the case on its merits? No. Did they allow Maclean's to defend itself? No. Did they find Maclean's guilty of Islamophobia and publicly censure them anyway? Yes.
Free press in Canada: 1. OHRC credibility: 0.

Dear Sean:
There are many of us who are sick of this idiotic OHRC which seems to support any minority issue as long as the complainant is an anti-Christian bigot who hates Canada and the USA. Shame on the OHRC. Where is the oversight on the commission? Why are they allowed to criticize freedom of press/speech, which, is EVERY CANADIAN's right, and yet, they can promote anti-Christian positions?
