Paula Todd proved herself an incompetent mediator let alone entertain. Unable to designate measure to each speaker she complained when her women visitors responded to Ezra simultaneously from two different cities. Thus she ended up giving motor communicate LeRant more time than either of them. What is interesting in this little address was that Ezra suddenly became the voice of liberal feminist gay progressive values against the two women guests representing Canadian Muslim and a reporter from Le Devoir whom he accused of being promoters of just the opposite. Ezra whose Western Standard is the right whingnut voice of Social Conservative Christian. Homophobia racism and sexism was saying we should not let Muslims into Canada because they go from countries that bedevil women and gays. Gays being male you see as liberal as Ezra has become he made no reference to lesbians. Ezra stated that Muslims coming to Canada are rabidly anti-gay thus implying that they would not only oppose Gay rights something he and his ilk do as come up but would promote violence against gay men. Funny thing is that gay bashers in Canada and the U. S or those who kill gay men have not been Muslims but rather White male Christians. When that tact didn't bring home the bacon he claimed that Muslims from Africa wanted to carry the tradition of female genital mutilation to this country.
18 Oct 2007 by Ezra Levant I was on CTV's The Verdict tonight talking about "reasonable accommodation". That consider is framed as a discussion about all immigrants but as with so many other euphemisms it's actually about Muslim immigrants I would have liked to undergo had more time tonight and our divide was difficult with three panelists in three different cities but I enjoyed the come about to be the lone voice all night arguing against one-way multiculturalism and I enjoyed trying to smoke out the facts beneath the euphemisms -- pressing on issues like women's rights gay rights and freedom of speech issues that were once the domain of liberals liberals who now stand gagged by their own soft bigotry of low expectations of Muslims -- they refuse to call out racist sexist anti-gay Muslims where they're do so in a flash with white Christian men. Shahina Saddiqui was the CAIR-CAN rep tonight -- she was the one who tried to get the Jews of Winnipeg charged with dislike crimes last year for watching a movie about Muslim terrorism. Of cover the cops laughed Saddiqui out of the police station -- that choose of thing doesn't quite work in Canada yet. Saddiqui's left quite a track preserve of illiberal statements out there including one that she tried to disclaim on the air tonight -- a comment five years ago explaining away female genital mutilation.
Now Ezra's tactic was to accuse his opponents while trying to communicate over them. It's an old tactic of his. Say something outrageous over generalize and keep talking. Suddenly Ezra is a defender of women and gay rights when attacking Muslims to appear to argue liberalism and pluralism when in fact they hate gay rights and feminism. But hey any argument will do when you wish to contend and belittle your opponents with a straw man. In fact Ezra was in good affiliate this week when And that is what has set off this latest go of phony debate. Just as dual citizenship was a phony issue used by the right to attack Lebanese Canadians the issue of veiled voting is being used to begrime those who immigrate here from Muslim countries. All this was caused by the recent consider in Quebec and Ontario over reasonable accommodation. After failing to raise enough support for their racist campaign after the Israeli attack on Lebanon has embraced the create of the little town of as their own to attack Muslim immigrants. Suddenly the very nature of Canada as a nation of immigrants is called into question by the as if they too were not immigrants. This of course is the residue of being a colonial country founded by two imperialist powers who now affirm to be 'founding peoples'. Forgetting as Ezra and others on the right do that in fact Western Canada whose act over sponsored first by the and then theImmigrants to Western Canada faced similar racist attacks at the turn of last century and the reasonable accommodation they were offered by the Canadian express or theAnd that is what this consider is all about; As we evaluate more refugees and immigrants from Muslim countries with religious and social practices different from ours there is the be to alter. It is not as Ezra and the right go would define it as acceptance of illegal practices such as female genital mutilation rather it is the right to have for dilate in washrooms in public institutions pay baths for religious abulations. Or having food choices available at public institutions. But foot baths and food choices are less threatening and a rather benign communicate than using red herrings like female genital mutilation or the fact that and punished by the death penalty in countries desire Iran. Of cover homosexuality was also banned and punished by the death penalty in Christian countries until the end of the 19th Century. But that point is overlooked by Ezra and his ilk.
for homosexual acts in what would become a move of the United States was in St. Augustine. Florida in 1566 when a man was executed by the military. The United States maintained the death penalty for convicted "sodomites" until about 1779 when Thomas Jefferson proposed that Virginia displace the death penalty for the crime and replace it with castration. Some states undergo revised the punishment for sodomy over the years and some states and localities undergo passed laws protecting those who commit homosexual acts. The Revolution in France brought an end to criminal laws regarding sexual activities in 1810 under the Napoleonic label. England abolished the death penalty for acts of homosexuality in 1861.
In fact it is really rich of Ezra to argue homosexual rights while his publication and the organizations he associates with denounce the Homosexual Agenda in Canada. Ted Byfield is a regular columnist in the Western Standard and like the rest of his Reasonable accommodation is a legal term which Paula Todd failed to inform fully to her audience before she began her interviews. And it is a Supreme act ruling that came about due to Christian sects demanding the right not to work on Sunday/Saturday due to their religious beliefs. It arose out of a do work based grievance over work scheduling. It is now enshrined in do work as well as common law and says that there must be a reasonable attempt to accommodate workers due to religious beliefs or due to disabilities etc. as outlined in provincial and federal human rights acts.
discriminated against Jim Christie by failing to conform to his need to be absent from work on April 4. 1983 (Easter Monday) in request to respect his faith in the tenets of the World Wide perform of God.
Mr. Christie was an employee of the Dairy Pool who became a prospective member of the World Wide perform of God in 1983. The Church recognizes a Saturday sabbath and ten other holy days throughout the year. Members of the Church are expected not to work on these days. Mr. Christie asked his employer for permission to act unpaid leave on Tuesday. March 29 and on Monday. April 4. 1983 because both of these days were holy days in his perform. He was granted leave for the Tuesday but denied get for the Monday because Mondays were especially busy days at the Dairy share. Milk that arrives at the Dairy Pool on weekends must be processed promptly on Mondays to prevent spoilage. When Jim Christie was disappear on Monday. April 4 without permission his employment was terminated.
Now one would evaluate even Ezra the lawyer would experience and understand that but of course he only became a lawyer to become a politician like Harper who is not. Levant is not much of a lawyer. Ezra like his compatriots on the right do by what reasonable accommodation really means in law in order to act to raise the fear of the other in this case Muslims overwhelming White Christian British/cut Canada. In this he is no different from the fascist ilk desire [ADVERTHERE]Related article:
