Predictable...

You had to know that sooner or later either Chandler or one of his close associates was going to start sniping at Stelmach this election campaign.

Sure enough, we find "Concerned Christian Canada" stepping to the plate:

I stated that in view of the fact that human rights commissions are being used to censor and silence free speech, a Christian politician is being denied his elected position based on his faith and confession of biblical truths, and police and bi-law officers are abusing their authority to deny God given and Charter protected human rights, what did Premier Stelmach intend to do to protect the Charter rights of citizens of Alberta going forward?

Oh please. What an amazing bunch of drivel.

One, anyone with their eyes open and their brain running in something other than neutral has long since figured out that the Human Rights Commissions are in fact doing their jobs quite reasonably.

I'll reserve judgment on Stelmach's handling of Chandler's nomination. If there is a HRC complaint filed, I'll be curious to see the outcome. More realistically, I suspect it boils down to something pretty simple - Chandler's own history had created a situation where he had far too much political baggage as a direct result of his involvement in the whole Boissoin affair, and his conduct towards Rob Wells during that time. Stelmach would be thinking in terms of optics, I'm sure.

It's the last claim that Blake makes that is truly astonishing in its stupidity:

police and bi-law officers are abusing their authority to deny God given and Charter protected human rights

Really? Just what is he referring to? Or, is this in the usual dishonest phrasing I see from political extremes - a really pathetic attempt to link unrelated topics together.

One of these days, these twits will figure out that their "freedom of religion" exists in a state of tension with the rights of others to live in peace.
