Toronto Star, Wednesday, Mar. 14. It's official: Roy McMurtry is a f***ing ignoramus.

http://www.thestar.com/news/article/1145719--q-a-roy-mcmurtry-on-the-30th-birthday-of-canada-s-charter

"Q: During the Arab uprisings, social media played an outsized role. Is Twitter more important than a bill of rights?"

"A. ... Russia is often quoted as having one of the (best-seeming) charters or bill of rights in the world. But we know it’s mostly empty rhetoric — (Russia) is really not a democratic country. So there has to be more than just words written on paper. ..."

He could have found a good example much closer to home. Most of the rights in the Canadian Charter of Rights have been eviscerated by the Supreme Court:

- Freedom of religious belief no longer exists after the ruling of last month.

- Freedom of association no longer exists after a judge writes that it does not include the right not to associate.

- Freedom of speech has been under attack over dubious "hate speech" and election ad suppression judgments.

- Freedom of the press and other media of communication no longer exist after the grey-market satellite dish case.

- The right to be free from unreasonable search and seizure no longer exists after the Court upheld confiscation from a man not even charged with an offence.

- The right to be free from arbitrary government through the use of retroactive law no longer exists after the B. C. tobacco law ruling.

- But if you're a drug addict, you are entitled to anyone's hard-earned assets to make sure you don't kill yourself while engaging in your pastime.

The Charter of Rights is a sham as long as genuine individual rights have to fight off fake group rights.

"Q: The Republican candidates for the U.S. presidential ticket use the word liberty a lot — especially the Tea Partiers. Do you have a different interpretation of that word?"

"A: Oh, absolutely. I think the Tea Party in particular and the Republican Party in general are really not committed to liberty, not committed to individual rights. I think they’re right-wing nuts for the most part, and I think it’s an embarrassment to the United States for the Republican Party, the Great Old Party, not to be able to field a more impressive group of candidates, considering all of their talented people. I think for the Tea Party, the liberty they talk about is the liberty for people to be poor. ... that’s what they mean."

If McMurtry has a different conception of liberty, he demonstrates clearly that he has the wrong one. If there is anybody on the American scene committed to individual rights, it would be the Tea Party and the libertarians. The former may not be 100% consistent about it; the latter generally are.

To use the phrase "the liberty to be poor" in this context is a cynical misdirection. Liberty means freedom from government, the only institution in society that can use coercion. But coercion does not produce, create, invent or discover - all it does is destroy. If it were possible to eradicate poverty through coercion, it would have happened years ago. Yet the larger the welfare state gets, the more people who live in precarious circumstances - while their supposed helpers live high off the hog while producing nothing of value to anyone. The poor have the same liberty to improve their lot as anyone else.

"Tommy Douglas’s enthusiasm for eugenics being airbrushed by Canadians: MD"

"Canadians suffer from a “collective national amnesia” regarding Tommy Douglas’s support for eugenics, likely because they are reluctant to taint the medicare pioneer’s glowing image with unsavoury ideas, suggests a prominent McGill University physician in a new analysis.

Biographies and other accounts of Mr. Douglas’s life have either ignored or down-played his striking embrace in the mid-1930s of forced sterilization and segregation for people of “sub-normal” intelligence and morality, says Dr. Michael Shevell in a newly published academic paper.

He argues that people should instead make a point of remembering the CCF/NDP leader’s early advocacy of eugenics as a cautionary tale about simplistic medical solutions to social problems — even as they admire his many other, positive accomplishments.

“We need to know as Canadians that our past isn’t just one long, unblemished record, and that we have gone down the wrong path on several occasions. We need to be aware of that so we don’t make these mistakes now or going forward,” the head of pediatrics at Montreal Children’s Hospital said in an interview."

Massachusetts principal replaces 'St. Patrick's Day' with 'O'Green Day'

http://www.foxnews.com/us/2012/03/15/massachusetts-principal-renames-st-patricks-day-with-ogreen-day/

A Massachusetts school principal is renaming "St. Patrick's Day" with "O'Green Day" in an effort to be "inclusive and diverse," while some parents are blasting the decision as "stupid" and illogical.

Lisa Curtin, principal of the Soule Road School in Wilbraham, Mass., decided to change the name to ease discomfort that some students might have in celebrating St. Patrick's Day or Valentine's Day -- which last month was renamed to "Caring and Kindness Day," according to parents with children in the school.

The St. Patrick's Day holiday falls on a Saturday this year, but students at the elementary school will still be encouraged to wear green during class on Friday and eat green vegetables in the cafeteria.

"I think it's ridiculous," said Dina LaMotte, whose daughter is a fifth-grader at the school. "What's next, birthdays?"

"It should be either in or out," added Wilbraham resident Theresa Finnegan. "They're still celebrating it by calling it a different name, which makes no sense to me. It's totally illogical.

"Those two holidays are holidays that have become over the years very secular in nature," she said.

Curtin referred all media inquiries to Wilbraham Schools Superintendent Martin O'Shea, who was not immediately available for comment Thursday.

LaMotte and others say Curtin's heart is in the right place, but claim her ruling is "political correctness gone too far."

"It's really stupid," said Janet Carlyle, whose three children attended the school.

"Everybody is Irish on St. Patrick's Day," Carlyle told FoxNews.com. "It's not a holiday that's generally associated with a religion."

What's worse, Carlyle called the renaming of the holiday insulting and "unfair" to Irish Catholic students for whom the holiday might have special meaning.

"I would have been really annoyed if my kids were still in the school," added Carlyle, who is not Catholic but said she celebrates the holiday "like most normal people do" by eating green mash potatoes.

"Rare Bunny With No Ears Crushed by Cameraman"

"A baby rabbit born with no ears was being filmed by a news team when the cameraman stepped on him by mistake on Wednesday. The bunny didn't suffer, said the distraught director of the zoo in Germany who had hoped to turn the rare rabbit into a media star."

"The future had looked so bright for tiny Til, a baby rabbit born without ears three weeks ago in a small zoo in Limbach-Oberfrohna in Saxony, eastern Germany. Earless rabbits are very rare, and that factor combined with his cuteness would surely have made him a media celebrity, especially in Germany, which has a history of worshipping furry baby animals.

But then fate struck. Til was meant to be presented to the press at a news conference on Thursday and the zoo had invited a TV camera team to film him lolloping about happily ahead of the big day. Here is what happened next in the words of Uwe Dempewolf, the director of the zoo, who was still shaken when SPIEGEL ONLINE telephoned him on Wednesday afternoon.
