Stop Human-Rights Bureaucrats From Stripping Rights From People Because Of Their Race
Ontario’s human rights tribunal recently ruled that white people cannot bring claims for racial discrimination. See, https://financialpost.com/opinion/ontario-human-ri...
That’s right, in one fell swoop, 8 million white Ontarians (60% of the province) had their protections from racial discrimination under Ontario’s human rights code taken away solely because of their race and in spite of their own individual lived experiences. Already, this ruling is being used to justify anti-white discrimination elsewhere: https://tnc.news/2023/11/09/black-theatre-discrimi... (my case)
If you rightly see this as the creation of a dehumanizing, two-tiered justice system, please click the signature button below and call on the Ford government to end this now (you can sign anonymously and be from anywhere in the world).
In her decision, the tribunal judge, Eva Nichols, relied solely on a set of policy guidelines published by the Ontario Human Rights Commission in 2005. Although it does not explicitly state that whites are not covered by the province’s human rights code, it does bizarrely say that ‘white colonialists’ supposedly invented race to justify their “oppression” and, therefore, only non-whites can be said to be “racialized.” (“[R]ace emerged in the context of European imperial domination of nations and peoples deemed ‘non-white’… ‘White’ [is] the norm to which racialized persons are to be compared”). Such a position shows frightfully how historically and scientifically illiterate and ideologically captured one of Canada’s most consequential judicial bodies is.
Premier Ford’s conservatives command a giant majority in the Ontario legislature and we must call on them to fix this before it gets worse. The Ontario Human Rights Commission also says Canada is supposedly afflicted with “Christian privilege”; are Christians next? What about those who progressives call “white adjacents” i.e. East Asians. Could they be next too?
Why tribunal member Eva Nichols’s decision is legally wrong:
- She failed to explain why the Ontario Human Rights Tribunal and Commission have never expressly taken a no-rights-for-whites position in the near-20 years since the policy guidelines were published.
- She failed to explain how Europeans being supposedly “non-racialized”, unlike every other group, makes them unable to suffer discriminatory harm.
- She failed to acknowledge that police report dozens of anti-white hate-crimes per year and that white Canadians regularly experience racial discrimination.
- She willfully ignored that Ontario and other provinces’ human rights case law acknowledges race-based discrimination claims brought by whites when she stated: “[i]t is important to note in the Tribunal’s jurisprudence that an allegation of racial discrimination… is not one that can be or has been successfully claimed by persons who are white and non-racialized.”
- She initially dismissed the case for lack of standing on procedural grounds, but then overreached and sought out the additional reason for dismissal that whites supposedly have no rights under the code.
- What’s even worse, this was not even an argument put forward by the school district defendant that created the black-only program.
- She rendered redundant the part of the code that allows for affirmative-action programs in Ontario (i.e. programs which can discriminate against whites, if a certain standard is met). If whites have no rights under the code and entities/individuals can discriminate against them whenever they want, the latter will never need to create affirmative-action programs to do it. Ontario lawmakers certainly did not intend such an effect.
Besides signing this petition, you can contact Premier Doug Ford and Ontario Attorney General/MPP for Barrie-Springwater-Oro-Medonte Doug Downey (who has jurisdiction over human-rights bureaucrats) telling them this dehumanizing, two-tiered justice system must end.
