B.C. politician fined $750,000 for his views on trans issues in schools

Two stories of a civilization in decline. Regrettably, we're talking about Canada, of course

Two stories unfolding at the same time show where the West is headed on free speech — and which countries are still capable of telling the difference between words and crimes.

In the United States, British political activist Tommy Robinson was recently admitted after receiving a rare visa waiver. That matters. Robinson has prior convictions in the United Kingdom, and the U.S. is famously ruthless about border enforcement. Deportations are routine. Waivers like this are not.

The message is clear: American authorities no longer accept the British government’s treatment of political dissidents at face value. When speech is the alleged crime, the UK justice system no longer commands automatic trust.

America, at least for now, still understands that speech is not violence.

Canada does not.

In British Columbia, former Chilliwack school trustee Barry Neufeld has been ordered to pay $750,000 by the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal for his public statements on transgender ideology in schools.

Neufeld didn’t threaten anyone. He didn’t harass anyone. He didn’t assault anyone.

As a school trustee, his job was to speak — especially about sex education. He opposed SOGI 123 and the teaching of radical gender ideology to young children. Those views were public. Voters knew them. Voters elected him anyway.

That counted for nothing.

The tribunal ruled that his speech created a “poisoned” work environment. In other words, disagreement is now poison. Words are now harm.

No police force would lay charges for this. No prosecutor would touch it. No real court would uphold it. That’s why the case went to the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal — a kangaroo court where free speech does not exist in any meaningful sense.

The tribunal ordered $750,000 to be distributed by the Chilliwack Teachers’ Association to between 45 and 163 teachers. No one had to

Wow!!!!! she’s pissed!! we all should be..
One really pissed-off CANADIAN citizen!!!
It appears that this Senator hit a sour chord with this young lady!!
Jeff Smith, a Senator from Quebec, calls senior citizens the "Greediest Generation" as he compared , Old Age Security to "a Milk Cow with over a million teats".
Here's a response in a letter from Patty Johnstone in Ontario ..
I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
"Hey Jeff, let's get a few things straight!!
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying CPP & OAS for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63). Being a Canadian citizen for over 20 years & paying my taxes, I am eligible at 65 to apply for Old Age Security - OAS (paid for through my taxes).
3. My Canada Pension payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid...
