The ad criticized the policies of the Ontario Liberal Government and the Toronto District School Board mandating outright pro homosexual/lesbian/transgender/transsexed (what is it? Don't ask.) propaganda being forced on JK-grade 3 students. Those are children 4 to 8 years of age, Most have little interest in sex at that tender age, let alone the twisted esoteria of the transgendered and the transsexed. Under Board policies, parents cannot withdraw their children from such brainwashing. Teachers whose religious or just common sense views are revolted by such material cannot refuse to teach it. Certainly, this would seem a fit subject for discussion by taxpayers. Their education system, one they pay for, has been hijacked by the homosexual lobby. The National Post seems to agree that this is a fit subject for debate. However, having said that free speech may involve offending or hurting people's feelings, the Post amazingly adds: "Where the ad exceeded the bounds of civil discourse was in its tone and manipulative use of a picture of a young girl; in the suggestion that such teaching 'corrupts' children, with everything that such a charge implies; and in its singling out of groups of people with whose sexuality the group disagrees." So, the criticism of the ad is that the picture of the wide-eyed cute little girl and the language is "manipulative." How absurd! Having said that, the Post's craven editors have said nothing! All advocacy advertizing, whether selling beer or autos or ideas, is "manipulative": it seeks to move the reader's emotions to favour what is being promoted by the ad. The link provided by the ad quotes from the Toronto District School Board's curriculum. It urges children in these junior grades to have a Gay Pride Parade in their own school and to take traditional stories and "gender-bend" them turnoing female characters into males and vice versa. Most children are fairly confident about who they are. This sort of child abuse might well get otherwise healthy children needlessly questioning their gender or eventual sexuality. One wonders what threats were made against the Post. If such were made, that would make a great story. Instead, the apology ends ignominiously advising that some homosexual lobby group apparently is about to pick up a bucket load of cash: " The Post will also be donating the proceeds from the advertisement to an organization that promotes the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people." Paul Fromm Director CANADIAN ASSOCIIATION FOR FREE EXPRESSION Squirming in the Dirt: The National Post's Apology (word for pathetic word) Earlier this week the National Post ran an advertisement that has caused some controversy. The ad, bought by the Institute for Canadian Values, argued against aspects of the Ontario school curriculum that include instruction about certain aspects of human sexuality. Specifically, it objected to teaching young children — those between junior kindergarten and Grade 3 — about transsexual/transgender/intersexed/two-spirited issues. The National Post has procedures in place for vetting the content of advertising, especially advocacy advertising. The procedures are intended to ensure that such ads meet a standard of tone and respect that is consistent with furthering constructive dialogue about important public policy issues. In this case, those procedures were not followed. An ad that should not have run in its proposed form was allowed to run. This ad will not run in the National Post again. The National Post believes strongly in the principles of free speech and open, unhindered debate. We believe unpopular points of view should not be censored simply because some readers may find them disturbing, or even offensive. Free speech does not apply only to views that will not offend anyone. The ad in question was attempting to make the case that the Ontario curriculum was teaching very young children about issues that, at that age, should be the domain of parents. In addition, it made the case that even when parents or teachers may object to the material being taught, they did not have the right, in the case of parents, to remove their children from the class, or in the case of teachers, to decline to teach the material on the grounds that they objected to it. In an open society, these positions are worthy of being part of a debate on this issue. They are also legitimate arguments to make in a paid advertisement in a media outlet. Where the ad exceeded the bounds of civil discourse was in its tone and manipulative use of a picture of a young girl; in the suggestion that such teaching “corrupts” children, with everything that such a charge implies; and in its singling out of groups of people with whose sexuality the group disagrees. The fact that we will not be publishing this ad again represents a recognition on our part that publishing it in the first place was a mistake. The National Post would like to apologize unreservedly to anyone who was offended by it. We will be taking steps to ensure that in future our procedures for vetting the content of advertising will be strictly adhered to. The Post will also be donating the proceeds from the advertisement to an organization that promotes the rights of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people. _____________________________ Unsubscribe / Change Profile: http://ymlp287.com/u.php?id=gmjhqsqgsgbbqguuy Powered by YourMailingListProvider

Such indulgence is not likely to deliver up grounded or grateful young men: "A man was killed Thursday night in southwest Edmonton when he was run over by a relative outside a home, police say. The two family members had pulled up to the house, in the swanky Magrath Heights area [hereinafter to be known as a 'run-down' area], in a car when they got into an argument. 'It was instant. The argument erupted as soon as the one gentleman left the vehicle and ended when he was struck by the vehicle,' Insp. Brian Nowlan of the Edmonton police said. The 29 year-old driver then got into a 2011 BMW and fled the scene, police said. A neighbour who lives just down the street from where the confrontation occurred said she stepped out of her house moments after the man was hit. 'It just didn't seem like it was an accident,' Tess Minor said. The incident happened around 9 p.m. near the intersection of Massey Way and Massey Landing. Police said they arrested a man in connection with the case about two hours later near the legislature. Homicide detectives are investigating. It would be Edmonton's 35th homicide of the year — the highest in the country." (CBC, August 19, 2011)Neighbours said a multi-generational Sikh family lived in the house. "'For sure, he ran him over on purpose,' said neighbour Stephane Beauchemin, referring to the victim's son. 'He ran his dad over in the door of his garage, broke both his legs and I didn't see it, but my wife told me he actually went, ran over him again.' Beauchemin, a radiation therapist, and his wife, a nurse in the ICU, performed CPR on the 59-year-old while the victim's wife and daughter watched. Despite the efforts, the man died on scene. ... A relative who asked not to be identified says the father and son had recently started working together in the family business, which some sources say was the construction company MNH Homes. ... The victim is identified as Mohan Heer." (CTV, August 19, 2011)Edmonton had matched last year's record high number of homicides, 39, by the end of September – most committed by immigrants!.[This article appears in the October, 2011 issue of the CANADIAN IMMIGRATION HOTLINE.
