The leader of Borderland Pride seems to have worked out an effective way
to make money for his organization, all thanks to our Ontario Human
Rights Tribunal.

The Human Rights Tribunal ultimately ordered the Township to pay $10,000 to
Borderland Pride, and for McQuaker to personally pay them another $5,000.

This was lower than what Borderland Pride had been seeking; they wanted
$15,000 from the township and $10,000 each from the three councillors who
voted no.

But McQuaker and Emo's chief administrative officer were also ordered to
complete an online course known as "Human Rights 101" and "provide proof of
completion... to Borderland Pride within 30 days."

Wow. It really is something like what you would have seen in communist China
during Mao's bloody Great Leap Forward: not only punishment for wrongthink but
also the imposition of mandatory political reeducation sessions.

This is just like those bizarre non-criminal crimes that can get you locked up
in England. Here we have a town that is being sanctioned for declining to
declare June "pride month", even though there's no requirement under Canadian
law that towns have to declare June "pride month". So they didn't do something
they're not legally required to do and yet still get fined and punished for
it.

I wonder if anyone on those Human Rights star chambers y'all have up there
ever has a moment of self-reflection and wonders to his fellow apparatchiks,
"Hey, do you think maybe *we're* the bad guys here?"
