The Canadian Human Rights Commission should be abolished. It is an agency that has killed common sense. By describing Christmas as a day of "systemic religious discrimination....grounded in Canada's history of colonialism" reinforces how far Canada has gone down the road of complete vaporization of its Christian identity and history. There is still some hope as evidenced by the following, excerpted from Global News.
The House of Commons has unanimously adopted a Bloc Quebecois motion Thursday that denounces a recent discussion paper suggesting the Christmas statutory holiday amounts to "systemic religious discrimination."
The motion, brought forward by Bloc Quebecois House Leader Alain Therrien, called for the House to denounce the Canadian Human Rights Commission's (CHRC) paper.
The wording of the motion says that the House should "recall that Christmas is a tradition celebrated in Quebec and Canada" and "denounce the CHRC's statement that 'statutory holidays related to Christianity, including Christmas and Easter,' represent an 'obvious example' of 'systemic religious discrimination,' and that this 'discrimination against religious minorities in Canada is grounded in Canada's history of colonialism.'"
It goes on to ask the House to "denounce all attempts to polarize events that have been part of Quebec and Canadian heritage for generations" and "invite all Quebecers and Canadians to unite as we approach the Christmas season."
