How the CHRC is assisting the jihad and endangering Canadians: Hands up all those who think that, given that the vast majority of terrorist acts in our time are carried out by jihadis, Canadian authorities should perhaps pay a wee bit more attention to the goings-on at radical mosques than to, say, the meetings of the Knights of Columbus.
You can put down your hands, you "Islamophobes".
According to Canada’s federal “human rights” body, the one helmed by Canada’s doyenne of state censorship, Jennifer Lynch, keeping extra tabs on members of one particular group (also known by the perjorative “racial profiling”) just won’t do in Pierre’s Trudeaupia. Here’s how the CHRC describes its newfound resolve to force police to eschew the “racist” practice:
Canadian Human Rights Commission and Canadian Race Relations Foundation urge the collection of data to address profiling
(Ottawa, March 20, 2009) – In a joint position released today, the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) and the Canadian Race Relations Foundation (CRRF) urged policing and security agencies to systematically collect human rights-based data as a tool to help prevent discrimination.
This position flows from a study, The Effectiveness of Profiling from a National Security Perspective, commissioned by the CHRC and CRRF and carried out by researchers from the Université de Moncton. The research concluded there is insufficient evidence to legitimize the practice of profiling and recommended more rigorous data collection to demonstrate whether or not profiling occurs.
"On the eve of the International Day for the Elimination of Racial Discrimination, we feel it is important to underscore the message that a democratic and pluralistic society like Canada can safeguard the security of its citizens while protecting human rights, " said Ms. Jennifer Lynch, Q.C., Chief Commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission. "Incorporating the protection of human rights into our security systems requires law enforcement and security agencies to employ accurate and reliable tools and implement proper accountability measures."
"The CRRF is pleased with its cooperation with the Canadian Human Rights Commission in sponsoring this important study on profiling," said Dr. Ayman Al-Yassini, Executive Director of the Canadian Race Relations Foundation. "As the fabric of Canadian society continues to evolve, there is a need to affirm the equality of all members of society regardless of their background. We believe that profiling is inconsistent with Canadian values and commitment to human rights, openness and transparency, and that collection of human rights-related data is the first step towards effective policing and better serving our communities."…
I know I for one will sleep much better at night knowing that Canada’s police and security officials are “incorporating the protection of human rights” into their probes. And if and when some Canadian landmark goes up in smoke, or a dirty bomb explodes in downtown Toronto, we will all have the satisfaction of knowing that those who pulled off the attacks did so without being “profiled” and with their “human rights” intact. Because, hey, isn’t that what’s really important?

Isn't it interesting how the CHRC always seems to get the results they want from these University studies?

Like minds think alike. There is little 'science' to it.
