Thoughts for the Ideologically Fair

The best way to provide fairness, equality and accountability is to just do so. If only someone would inform the left-wingers, we’d be all set. In Canada there is a common belief system that states ‘the best way to deal with discrimination, is reverse discrimination.’ Perhaps that belief system has never been expressed so blatantly or in such words, but the truth remains. A common perception states that a certain gender, and a certain skin color, has an advantage of becoming employed. Liberal thought dictates that in order to level the playing field, we must discriminate against these young white men – thereby providing fairness. Whatever happened to just being fair?

A bureaucracy of liberal fairness is about as useful to this country as a liberal bureaucracy can be.

Recent events in the United States should serve an important lesson for Canadian policy makers. In Canada, we pride ourselves on our fairness, our equality and the freedom our country shares with newcomers. This pride largely stems from the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Pierre Trudeau’s endowment to Canadians. Often portrayed as the be all and end all of Canadian national identity, the Charter is many things to many people and has been used in various ways. It has been used to protect known terrorists from prison sentencing. And, of course, the Charter was used to protect Trudeau’s former wife from criminal charges – when arrested for drunk driving.

In the constant struggle to provide a fair and open environment the approach our policy makers should take has been mapped by the US Supreme Court. Fairness should be fairness – not holding down would-be leaders. By allowing employers to ask such questions based on skin color, sex, or physical impalements we are perpetuating discrimination and allowing it to not only prevail, but also to become profound and instigate tensions. A country at peace with itself would welcome the opportunity to institute a merit based civil architecture, wherein the people of Canada would succeed by their own character-attributes and not physical-attributes.

A country at peace with itself, perhaps, would go one step further. And ask the necessary questions to move forward. The questions that need to be answered are frequently blockaded by liberal thought and perceptions. Take highway 401 for example. Why was the highway temporarily closed this week? (Good question). The answer: because the Mohawk warriors blockaded Canada’s busiest highway in an effort to gain respect. Why don’t the Mohawk have our respect? (Good question). The answer: because of the civil failures within the confines of their communities and their dependancy on the taxpayers for income. Why are the Mohawk dependant on the taxpayers for income when everyone knows they’re drug dea.... uh, oh... liberal barriers approaching...

Perhaps one day Canada will be free to look in the mirror in an attempt to make self-improvements. Perhaps those improvements will include health care, schools and equal opportunities (real ones, not just holding down the white kids) for Canada’s First Nations. Perhaps one day Canada will move beyond the failed policies of its past. Perhaps, one day, liberalism will allow Canada to enter the 21st century. "Liberalism is a mental disorder." - Michael Savage.
