Free Alberta!

The CBC version
The tribunals adjudicate disputes including those surrounding the rights of racial minorities, the mentally or physically disabled, women and seniors.

The Correct version

The tribunals enforce multicultural state policies at the expense of the majority of Canadians, restrict free speech, prey on Christians and promotes destructive socialist policies.

Fred you forgot the number one duty of wevery Human rights Inquisition. To defend & protect Islam at any cost. No matter what is done.
The HRC's in pure form are just mini Inquisitions out to keep us all red educated, islamist positive.

What is it about those leftists that habituate the CBC site and their hatred of conservative women? See them going on about how AWFUL Danielle Smith is. It's just a repetion of the smear attacks against Sarah Palin and Michelle Bachman. I think, to the average dipper or commie, women should restrict their political activities to carrying water or the REAL MEN

Age, family ties etc, preclude me and and my wife from emigrating to Alberta or Saskatchewan the only seemingly sane provinces of this country, politically.

Danielle Smith and the Wildrose Party truly impress me.
I wonder if Tim Hudak in Ontario has the balls to follow Smith's Alberta lead and promise to neuter the HRC in Ontario as well.

What every Canadian must know by now is that Saskatchewan where it does not float on oil is miles deep with potash!

Listen up younguns!!

Oh, to be young and mobile in Canada, eh?

CBC = official liberal propaganda ministry so no surprise there.

Go Wild Rose! Hopefully they demolish the "Progressive" Conservatives in the coming election.

Daniel Smith and the wildrose party got it right. the proof is in the comments section, the left is furious over the decision to scrap The kangaroo courts.

Whew, they missed the Policy's on how Alberta will demand cuts in Equalization, how Wildrose will enshrine Property Rights, how Wildrose will control Ottawa's Firearms policies, how Wildrose will end Carbon Capture and fight Rottawa on Oil Sands Regulation of Provincial Resources, and how Wildrose will abolish the PC's Communist Land and Water Grab Bills 16, 36 and 50. How Wildrose will explore dumping CPP and having a Provincial Pension, etc etc. A lot of good Policies, for Provincial Rights.

@Fred: an appropriate description

The appropriate acronym for these creatures is IRC is the "Inhumane Regulatory Cabal".

Just another state sanctioned statute created cabal to infringe upon human liberty at taxpayers expense.

Real freedom is a dangerous concept to these pseudo government apparatchiks.

Abolition of the HRCs would in my view be regarded as a "kindness of the electorate".

Pitchforks, tar and feathers would be the appropriate response to these free speech gulag artists.

You can always count on the CBC for dishonest and misleading spin instead of factual news. What angers me most is that we are forced to pay for it.

The WRP proposes to eliminate the ridiculous and useless kangaroo tribunals while ensuring that those accused of breaking the law will be tried in a real court. It in no way endangers anyone or any group to violence or threats of violence nor blatant discrimination. This is the only sane thing to do.

Joe Molnar- Why is age stopping you? SE Alberta is one of the largest retirement communities in Canada. The weather is mild, there are plenty of gated communities, retirement condo complexes, and senior oriented activities. And, you'll love this, it's the most solidly conservative voting constituency in the entire country. Your chances of running into a liberal are less likely than being bitten by a rattlesnake. You can't argue with those odds.

You do know there are rattlesnakes in SE Alberta?
Dieing by snakebite is a nasty way to go.

You know what? Alberta's current role in Canadian politics reminds me of the Bob Dylan lyric: "I see my light come shining, from the West down to the East". It's from one of my all-time favourite Dylan songs.

I always considered the lyrics to be rather cryptic (e.g. prophetic?) because everybody knows that the sun rises and sets from East to West and not vice-versa -- the light never comes "shining from the West down to the East". But we've witnessed that reverse phenomenon - metaphorically -- with the liberating effect of Alberta on the rest of Canada. Although abolishing the fascist Human Rights Commissions is something that Conservative politicos everywhere seem to have wimped out of, especially with the recent back-pedaling by Tim Hudak in Ontario, Alberta is taking the lead again.

Alberta, show us the way! We need you! And as the rest of Dylan's lyric prognosticates: "Any day now, any way now, I shall be released".

Oz, there are rattle snakes down here but you have to go looking to find them. I've been living in LA (Lethbridge Alberta)area for over twenty years and have only seen them once.....down at writing on stone Provincial park. Haven't seen a Liberal since Ken Nicoles got nuked in the Paul Martin era :-)

wow the comments over at the cbc sound like they come straight out of the German workers socialist party circa 1933.

I want them shut down, all of them, however most of us look at these institutions of fake human rights with utter contempt. Who amongst us wouldn't tell them to fork off when contacted that someone filed a complaint against you? Oh sure I'd go through the motions of pretending I was a respondant but I"d make their sad little lives farking miserable the entire time they dragged me through the PC mud. Eventually a real court will rule their policy's gross violations of our chartered rights.

Give credit where its due. Saskatchewan was the first to torpedo these fictions dressed up as courts. Its obcene we even have them.
Only an Uncle Joe could love them.
The comments section had a lotof fools who have noidea how racist the so called Human rigts racket really is. If your white or Christian, your the enemmy. To these groups only certain socially approved vetted groups, have rights. The rest of us are just the evil people who cause the pain for their pets of the hour.

Just a reminder to anyone who hasn't already stopped by to please let the CRTC know what you think about the CBC - they are asking for public feedback until July 18th. The comments will remain on a publicly accessible website for posterity, apparently.

Common sense, thats why I joined. All non-whiners welcome. If you want the nanny state stay with the PC's or Liberanos.

Oz @ 2:33 PM, although snakebite is indeed a nasty way to die, it's not as nasty as being bitten by a moose. A moose once bit my sister...

Danielle is going to be a solid premiere. I can't wait. Alberta can't wait.

I'm not sure what the heck happened in the last election for the PC's to have gained more seats, but I guess sometimes one needs to punch themselves in the face to realize how much more painful and serious it is, as to smash through ones windshield.

Won't be the first time voting Wildrose, and it won't be the last. A true "bottom-up" party :)

What happen last time is that the Wildrose Party and the Alberta Alliance Party were simply two separate fringe parties and people gave Ed Stelmach the benefit of the doubt.

A lot changed when people realized very quickly just how bush league the post-Ralph Klien PC's really were. Total amatuer third rate trash.

That's when the behind the scenes movers and shakers in Alberta (Calgary) put together the new party.

I think Wildrose will win a minority next year.

The only snakes in Alberta if I recall is southern Alberta. Alberta is basically snake and Rat Free. Rat Free Alberta as well as Rat Clawed Liberal Free Alberta. Avoid Alberta. The Pee Cees are about to get heaved on the dung heap next election as well. Go to www.wildrosealliance.ca and read up on our policies, new ones yet to be added for 2011 AGM.....

@RFB The only 'venomous' snakes are in the south but there are numerous small harmless snakes, garter snakes, I guess, further north. I ran into a kid in one of the riverside parks in Edmonton who was catching and releasing garter snakes for amusement. When we encountered him he had caught about half a dozen.

"You do know there are rattlesnakes in SE Alberta?"
Sore, there are even badlands ans a genuine desert in Saskatoon.
Serious photo buffs are out there shooting them all the time. Only a few good rules to go by:
- Don't step over hot rocks that rattle,
-Full frame snake head picture with a telephoto lend is great but on the other hand looking full frame with a fisheye lens means one of you are too close.
-And the final thing to remember is that if you sit on a snake and get your butt bit, you are going to die unless that guy riding along with the pink chaps is from Toronto.

Revnant - Did Saskatchewan really torpedo these kangaroo courts. Read the settlement against the Ukraininan Co-op in Regina regarding wheelchair access to the store. It sounds as though the law as written is on the side of the store but the Human Rights Commission not only made their own law but to add insult to injury the actually made them pay $1000 to the complainant. That's good money if you can get it.

I was wrong. The wildrose alliance was merged before the. Election but paul hinman was leader and I don't think the big money was there yet.

Albertans don't like black people! Of course they don’t particularly care for anyone trying to change the status quo and certainly not nearly as much as Obamba doesn’t like black people.

Simply keep your hip pop jive ass niggardly crap off our streets and the average Albertan will always shake the hand of a black man. But not a friggen flash mob twitter monkey.

Even tho I'm in BC I have been giving my political donations to the WRP for 5 years. When the feds do away with their automatic $2 per vote I will reconsider.

It always surprises me to a degree when a political party such as the WRP actually discusses making citizens responsible for actions rather than government. The fundemental precepts of Wildrose is that of the Reform Party, only at the provincial level. It is doing what Reform should have done years ago as many of us who were involved wanted.

Regarding snakes in Alberta - There are a quite a number of them - mostly political types wearing suits. (I just read the book - "Snakes in Suits" - quite an eye-opener.

De-regulation of the consumer energy industry by the Klein regime was nothing but thinly disguised cronyism.

Now Danielle proposes to "privatize" Alberta hospitals? Look for more of the same - with competition limited to 2 or at the most 3 players acquiring public assets for a song. Still a monopoly by most any definition.

Albertans need another Grant Notley. (RIP)

Human Rights Tribunals are certainly not perfect, but they are an attempt to address some of the biases of the traditional judicial system. Remember that there rulings (forgive me if I'm using the incorrect term) are not binding, as they are meant to be an informal body only.
