This is not true. Western Standard continues, although it cancelled its print format. The reasons given at the time were financial, though this article seems to imply it was due to Levant's charges under the Human Rights Commission.
Look at how the HRC persecuted Mark Styen. If he did not have MacLeans vast legal resources behind him he would have been royally FUKKED.
Lol... It isn't even remotely possible. No JP would ever sign. You can sleep soundly tonight.
I'm still waiting for your reply about leaving the board for good if I show you to be a liar who is always shooting his mouth off.
Nice post grain.
I don't think Canada has any business with these laws on the books. The Canadian blasphemy law is based on English laws, which can be traced to a case in England, in 1676. In those early days, blasphemous libel was as much an affront to God, as it was to the State. While our Head of State is still the Supreme Governor of the Church of England, I think most would agree that these days our society is far more secular in nature, and though there is no official separation, in effect we do practice the separation of the two. I think that's a good thing, and we need only think of a situation where another group becomes the majority to understand that an official separation serves our society best.
Certainly, I don't think blasphemy should be viewed as an affront to the State. More to the point, I don't think the State has any business censoring any criticism against it. Clearly that would be against other freedoms we do have, and so this is really one of those cases where our laws are inconsistent, and even hypocritical. The blasphemy laws are outdated.
No idea, no thing, should be above criticism. Considering that some would conflate criticism as irreverence towards religion, clearly we should not have a law like that on the books, even if it is used infrequently.
Nope.
Nope.
Nope, because I'm in Canada.
Where even you can do what Gh explained.
Now I know how smart you think you are, but your biggest mistake is thinking all JP's think alike. How prejudicial of you, by the way.
But they aren't.
You can wait for the JP you want to hear your bond issue, even if it takes a day or two to get him, because you know he'll accept what you have to offer. While the JP who's on this morning won't.
Now now Cannuck, there's no need to try and make it about me, because you feel foolish, again.
Yep- He mad.
Yep he mad- Cannuck I tried to find the right shoes.
But your feet were all chewed up from your teeth.
Really.
Real- Reality- Ain't you.
Pm's - any word on that Putz boy?
Yes, that is what I wear as slippers, although those don't appear to be steel-toed so it fits the Tu-tu better
Why would I feel foolish? I'm not the one that concerns myself with old silly laws. Better hide your crime comics if you have any. Better yet, search your house top to bottom. Ignorance is no excuse and you wouldn't want to get caught with some you didn't know you had
