In Saskatchewan, Canada, a dry cleaner was fined $400 for telling a Native American woman, "If you ask me, there shouldn't even be [Indian] reserves." The editor of the Alberta Report faced charges for an article stating that while some native children faced abuse at local Indian schools, others greatly benefited. The same publication faced legal action under "human rights" censorship laws, forbidding publication of stories critical of partial birth abortion. In Ontario, it's now illegal to make any verbal or written statement which might cause someone to discriminate against one of fifteen state-recognized protected classes, even if what is said is true. And the Canadian Human Rights Commission requested an investigation as to whether economic status should also be a basis for special protections.
