In my ongoing analysis of Canadian political and legal

institutions, due in part to significant crisis within Germanic

scales of breakdown, I must analyze the worth and capacities

of political agents such as elected officials.  After a lengthy

examination of Harper, the current Prime Minister of a minority

government, I have found that he is clever at manipulating the

population through mass communications mechanisms; that he

is less skilled and more corrupt in his appreciation for constitutional

values which respect and protect the individual and correctly

restrain state and other sources of large scale power; that he will

be recorded in history by me as a disgrace to sound interpretations

of Canadiana, to the men and women who have served the liberal

democratic experiment of the country, and to correct ways of

guiding world affairs in the 21st century ... a sad and little man

of elected politics.  He represents the nightmare for political

scientists of sound stripes in that his communications efforts mask

his incompetence and desparate qualities.

Ambassador, BWI

 

A recent debate has been sparked by a party before a Human

Rights Tribunal which has been highly inflammatory while

attracting ugly conclusions about the worth and merits of

such bodies.  This Tribunal and Courts possessed by similar

issues face difficult decisions.  They are not the 'thought police''

nor are they violent to freedom of expression.  In fact, they

assist such in a challenging yet worthwhile area of law.

 

The debates sparked by the defendant polemicist spring

from his apparently logical and intelligent approach to the

issues which simply serve his ends.  They provide no true and

judicious attack upon the essential qualities of the said

bodies. 

 

Although I certainly encourage free debate, it is sad to

see people turned less intelligent vis a vis the issues

rather than more intelligent.  In this blog, I shall continue

a discussion on the matter while addressing the suitably

fact sensitive qualities of each case.  Tribunals and Courts

on these issues should be supported and people should

strive to really comprehend what they seek to accomplish

along the long and good traditions of fairness and justice.

 

 

 

 

A volatile debate has erupted in Canada over the legitimacy

of the Human Rights Commission to regulate in difficult cases.

A particular citizen employing both the media and human

rights conflict resolution system has stirred this debate for his

own purposes.  He has already benefited sufficiently from the

publicity while attracting badly arrived at criticisms of the

Commissions and Tribunals.  This is a sad affair since it

violates good fabric concerns tying the country together

while attacking the groups in need of proper regulation -

indirectly but not sufficiently clever for this watchdog. 

 

I will continue to comment on this issue in this blog but

end this entry by saying that, the Tribunals and Courts

face difficult balancing acts which are important to ensuring

both the rule of law and the equality norms which characterize

the best elements of a country committed to this kind of

justice to grow itself and know great progress.  Loose and

apparently tight criticisms - which are really light logical

expositions of a self-serving kind - will not triumph over

the better reasons and explanations put forth by me and

certain other sound minded social scientists and jurists.

(... to be continued)

 

A person recently asked my opinions on certain HR

phenomenon and I asked whether he had secured a legal

opinion.  He apparently had not so I invited him to reason

aloud like a paralegal might do in working with a lawyer.

He cited certain cases that he was familiar with and I

commented on the constitutional significance of each

decision through the constitutional values at play.  In the

process, he learned about the complexities of legal

reasoning and the content of precedents and how they

might be applied.  What he did not know is that I was also

gathering data on bias and lack of knowledges applying

in the public sphere.  At times, one must play along in

examinations to underscore the knowledges at play and

how people are responding to them and lawyers and

ancillary stuff.  He proved reasonably sophisticated as an

independent business man in grappling with the various

applications of human rights norms towards employers,

professionals, retailers and consultants.  I left him to think

about the broader issues of the socio-dynamics as juridified

which HR Tribunals must contend with.  He also mentioned

a local lawyer who might serve as a quasi-paralegal for

Tannis & Associates (International), but not really since I

only admit lawyers who wield their freedoms in a way that

appeals to my senses of judiciousness.  This is my preference

as crafty Managing Director and Counsel - a litigator is always

on the look out for the just, justice and dignity through sophis-

ticated ethical and moral prisms, and, at times, by 'playing

dumb' on certain apparent matters of law.
