Canada is afflicted with the going berserk of the upper middle class in the late 1960s, and it has gone further here than in the United States.
One way is, far more eggs have been put into the basket of government than in the United States. This means less importance to the other areas of life.
It boils down to a crisis of confidence in the other areas of life.
There is also this: the book, “Property and Freedom” by RIchard Pipes makes it clear that anti-discrimination laws are the anti-thesis of the freedom to contract. This is ignored by those who set up the HRC’s and those who have run then, and those who run them.
So, if walking on eggshells regarding Islam is the order of the day – it has become more and
more challenging because there are other groups who view the HRC’s as a shield against
their feelings being hurt. Alas, they are mistaken because the HRC is more like a behemoth striding the land and it pays no regard to the damage it has done.
One other thing; “The Case for Democracy” by Natan Sharansky makes it clear that how free a country is is in proportion to the town square test. Canada is less free today than it was when the Canadian Navy was the third largest navy in the World.
