Human rights commission priorities

I don't think the Ontario Human Rights Commission should conduct an investigation into the alleged abuse of seniors at retirement homes. Such an investigation might be warranted, but the OHRC is hardly competent, fair, or speedy. It's not really a matter of discrimination, either. Either there is improper conduct or not; "ageism" isn't the point. It's a matter for the ministry of health; or a public trustee; or -- in an old fashioned world where people cared about their own families, rather than leaving them to the state -- the children of the seniors in question.

But the OHRC would surely not accept any of those reasons why it ought not to investigate. It's come up with its own reason: it's too busy with other pressing matters.

We all know what those highter priorites are: ensuring transsexuals aren't discriminated against by plastic surgeons.
