Irwin Cotler should choke on his own words

While supporting the same-sex marriage proposal, as a sign of our great Canadian tolerance and compassion towards minority 'rights', Justice Cotler is quoted by John Ivison of The National Post as saying: "I fought for protection against the arbitrary actions of government." Ivison notes that these battles were often in cases where tyrannical minorities were dictating policies that were inimical to the majority of the population. Think Idi Amin and his small band of tribal loyalists running Uganda. Cotler is hard-core worshipper at the altar of the The Charter. That's the same Charter that supposedly tells us we must keep bogus refugees--many of whom are violent criminals and terrorists--in our midst because they might be tortured if we deported them back home. Yes sir, minority rights at their most pristine. As Ivison says, "How ironic."
