“Same sex adoption is not a game”

The views presented here are based on extensive social science research and scholarship, on my clinical experience as a psychiatrist that includes consulting with adoptive and foster children for several years, treating adoptive children for almost 35 years, writing about their treatment in a textbook for the American Psychological Association (1) and as the father of three adopted daughters.

The intolerance is in the comments.

Lack of Free Speech in Alberta

I often tell my American friends that they’re entitled to have 10 times the number of nitwits than Canada does because they have 10 times the population. But if you’d like positive proof that idiocracy is alive & well in Canuckistan, look no further than “Professor” Darren E. Lund of the University of Calgary. This fellow recently wrote a vindictive piece in the Calgary Herald, aimed squarely at anyone who supports free speech … and thus disagrees with him.
Throughout his screed, Lund goes on & on condemning others for hate speech while unable to fathom that he’s pumping out a whole lot of his own. And he has the audacity to utter this not so clever totalitarian paragraph:

What Carpay and other fear-mongers fail to notice is that most Albertans, and most Canadians for that matter, are deeply repulsed by hate speech. In this great land, we enjoy our freedoms with an understanding that there must be reasonable limits on those who seek to take away others’ humanity or safety.

To the casual reader this may sound just wonderful, like apple pie and butterflies, but to anyone who has followed the free speech debate in Canada it is downright scary. Who is it that decides what is “hate speech” and what are “reasonable limits”? But of course, the Far Left zealots at the disgraced “human rights” commissions – folks who don’t believe that facts matter and are instead just driven by their unalterable ideology, namely: Anyone who disagrees with us must be uttering hate speech and thus must be silenced.
Ezra Levant is not unfamiliar with Lund, having talked at length about him in his book, Shakedown. Others have exposed Lund for being an anti-Christian bigot.
One particular line of Lund’s had me gobsmacked because of the deep irony:

Building a strong democracy must not include the freedom to poison the public discourse and actually threaten the safety of vulnerable people.

Emphasis mine. This makes one wonder if Darren Lund has covered up all of the mirrors in his home? He clearly hasn’t been observing his own words or actions in a very long time.
Earlier this year, Lund’s crusade against free speech was discussed on Michael Coren’s show:

Free Free Dominion!

Via Mark Lemire;

The Ontario Superior Court of Justice has just tossed out a defamation action by John Baglow (Internet Blogger Dr. Dawg) against Mark & Connie Fournier of FreeDominion. The Ontario court was very clear when dismissing the allegations put forth by Baglow. The court dismissed the Defamation Action and ordered Baglow to pay costs to the Fourniers.

Full decision – and fairly amusing flamewar chronicle – here. (pdf)
This is awkward: At the bottom of Page 3 and the top of Page 4 of the PDF it is revealed that Baglow started also posting as “Ms. Mew” in an effort to support his primary alias, “Dr. Dawg”.
