It’s a natural progression, isn’t it ?
First you start to think of your society as “enlightened”, all inclusive, “multicultural” (fill in the blank) and then, invariably and inevitably, along come the commissions and the bureaucrats to make sure these kinds of notions are enforced.
Trouble is, the individuals who gravitate to the sport of bureaucratic enforcement (members of the CHRC ?) are most frequently small-minded micro-managers themselves who have, suddenly, found themselves in a quasi official capacity to actually exercise their frustrated instincts.
With their small, subjective minds, these self-proclaimed enforcers of good start seeing violations in more and more places, more and more people and more and more venues. They come to believe it is their responsibility to set the standards for which speech or writing is “free” and which is prosecutable. Sounds just like Iran these days.
The so called enforcers adopt more and more the thinking and behaviors of the Stalinists and Nazis.
Anyway, if more and more Americans are escaping the US for the “freedoms” of Canada, I’d suggest that (beyond the availability of “healthcare” and pot) they might want to watch their backs.
