This gets my vote:

As Premier, Randy Hillier will introduce legislation to place violations of Human Rights in REAL courts where civil rights and due process are not distorted by the balance of probabilities. Human Rights Commissions will be redundant

Regular rules of court procedure would apply including burden of proof being placed upon the complainant. If the complainant is able to prove their claim through the provincial court system then the defendant would be subject to a fine levied by the court as well as the legal fees of the complainant. This approach will restrict frivolous complaints while allow true cases of discrimination to be pursued.

I haven’t made up my mind whether this was good advice or not.

It doesn’t matter what Groucho or Elvis or Britney or any other one-name performer does or did… the critics won’t be placated. Changing your act to make them happy is a fool’s game.

Here’s a surprising thought, though. You should ignore your fans as well.

Your fans don’t want you to change, your fans want you to maintain the essence of what you bring them but add a laundry list of features. You fans want lower prices and more contributions, bigger portions and more frequent deliveries.

So, who should you listen to?

Your sneezers.

You should listen to the people who tell the most people about you. Listen to the people who thrive on sharing your good works with others. If you delight these people, you grow.

Brian Lilley talks about us, here:

John Robson is the type of guy that should be working hard to get and keep the Conservative government in Ottawa elected. He may have worked for the Conservatives or their predecessor parties in the past but Robson appears to have had it with the current lot of MPs that make up Stephen Harper’s caucus in Ottawa, as the old movie line goes, he’s mad as hell and he’s not going to take it anymore.

Meet the Homeless Cons.

We’ve heard of neo-cons, that’s neo conservative. There are so-cons, the social conservatives. Of course most Canadians are familiar with politicians who tell you they are fiscally conservative (and of course they quickly follow with “but socially, liberal). But what on earth are Homeless Cons? It’s a group started by Robson and his wife, fellow writer and pundit Brigitte Pellerin as an outlet for people who don’t think the current Conservative government is conservative enough.

“If you are a conservative in this country,” Robson says over the phone, “you believe in free markets, traditional social values and strong national defence. You are lucky if you get one out of three out of any Conservative Party you elect.”

And Robson thinks that with the way the Harper Conservatives are acting right now, the score is zero for three. The government will not touch the abortion issue he notes, gave up on the vote they promised on gay marriage and in his mind doesn’t fund the troops properly. The final straw for Robson appears to have been the latest budget with its projection of a $64,000,000,000 deficit over two years; this after the government was already the biggest spending government in Canadian history. “If that’s conservatism,” he says, “why not vote Liberal.”
