KANGAROO COURT UPDATE: The Calgary Herald denounces Canada’s despotic “human rights” commissions. “In these despotic forums, the vehicle of choice for those who wish to silence those whose opinions they don’t like, what is conventionally called a human rights complaint is less accusation, than old-style Soviet denunciation. Not surprisingly, with no right to plead truth or fair comment, and with no obligation upon the prosecution to prove intent or follow rules of evidence–circumstantial evidence and hearsay is accepted in human-rights cases — defendants hardly ever emerge victorious from these proceedings.” Should these be established in the United States, it would be ground for revolution, or at least some “out of doors political activity” of the tar-and-feathers variety.
