Jennifer Lynch, international embarrassment

I'm not the kind of person who cares too much for "international opinion", because that's usually code for what the United Nations thinks, which is code for Russia, China, France and a bunch of banana republics and dictatorships think. So when Canada stands athwart "international opinion", I'm usually pleased.

But as Maclean's magazine reports, Canada's censorious human rights commissions have caught the eye of Freedom House, the international NGO that compiles an annual freedom of the world index, including press freedom.

Here is their comment about our HRCs:

Canada faced threats to freedom of expression as government agencies brought charges against journalists who wrote commentaries that were critical of Islam.

Jennifer Lynch lives for international praise -- which, I suppose, is a good thing, considering here at home she is so universally despised as a political bully, an anti-Christian bigot and an Internet censor. If she has to go all the way to Cameroon to find someone to tell her she's doing a good job, she'll go there, first class of course.

By the way, Lynch and her Ontario analog, Barbara Hall, keep lecturing us about how they're all that stands between Canada and hateful violence. That's why they both have to keep picking on dangerous threats like Fr. Alphonse de Valk and Rev. Stephen Boissoin. You know, threats to public safety.

But when pro-Hamas supporters march in downtown Toronto, Montreal and Calgary, brandishing swastikas, calling for death to the Jews, waving terrorist flags and uttering death threats -- well, Lynch and Hall are nowhere to be found.

Cowards? Hypocrites? Dhimmis? Incompetent?

All of the above.
