They Took All The Rights, Put ‘Em In A Rights Museum

Trudeau’s rapey-beheader wing will not be pleased.

Justice Minister Arif Virani says he has received the review of online comments made by incoming human rights commissioner Birju Dattani, and that Dattani has “agreed to take a leave” just one day before he was set to begin serving in his new role.

“While I carefully consider this matter, Mr. Dattani has agreed to take leave,” Virani said in a statement Wednesday night.

“I will have more to say in the coming days.” […]

Dattani’s appointment was announced in June, after which a Canadian Jewish advocacy group called attention to some of his past social media posts, saying they were antisemitic.

“The appointment of someone with such a deeply flawed background only exacerbates the skeptical public perceptions of the CHRC and undermines our confidence in the commission’s ability to adjudicate issues of hate and discrimination,” the Centre for Israel and Jewish Affairs said at the time.

I’ve written the CBC writer to inquire if Dattani will be receiving pay.

  1. I think the Justice Minister is looking at the impact this appointment will make,
    Not wether the appointment should be made based upon what Dattani’s said.

    They know what’s right and wrong (weirdly so) but I’m surprised they’re weighing the costs while they haven’t weighed other costs of the #Libranos decisions in the past few years.

    So it’s weird. Weird being the word of the month actually.
    It’ll be more weird if he wasn’t being paid as well.

    1. Don’t worry, the Justice Minister probably already has someone else in mind who also wants to impose Islamic Sharia Law on everybody and wants death for all Jooos, but isn’t so public about it, at least in English.

  2. “The appointment of someone with such a deeply flawed background only exacerbates the skeptical public perceptions of the CHRC and undermines our confidence in the commission’s ability to adjudicate issues of hate and discrimination,”

    Actually, it’s the logical result of creating a CHRC to officiate hate in the first place.

      1. It’s the Centuries of In-Breeding.
        The continual marrying of ones fist cousin will do that… and other things such as unbridled leaning towards Violence, Sexual predation…and obvious low intelligence.

  3. His middle name is Arabic for “one who engages in jihad” and it was his chosen handle for his objectionable postings that he now denies.

  4. Maybe we should be placing bets on possible replacements?

    Now who might the Liberals pick as a suitable head of the Canadian Human Rights Commission?
    Rosemary Barton
    Nil Köksal
    Omar Khadr
    Maryam Monsef
    Mohamad Fakih
    Shaykh Shafiq Hudda
    Khaled Barakat
    Girish Daswani
    Adan Abyat
    Azhar Nasser
    Riad Ourzazi
    Younus Kathrada
    so many Liberals, so many choices…
