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

I posted this here on May 7 and thought it was done "Went to public library to do my census and consistent with the luck I have got the long form. About 70 WOKE questions and questions that are none of their business IMHO as they don't care about real Canadians. I just filled out the number of residents as it is starred and then just kept hitting next until the end. Had a 15 minute timer and it took me 15 minutes. Could leave comments but by then out of time and patience. 🤮"
Imagine my surprise when a census worker showed up at my door yesterday because I hadn't done. She knew I had the long form and had it with her for us to complete and I told her when and where I filled out, even approximate time of day, and she asked for confirmation code so went to work trying to find. When you are rushed naturally can't find so said that I couldn't find. Found as soon as she got back to her car and showed her before she drove off. I can't hate this country enough as I know that because I only ...
