It's Called Theft

The political betters don't have to send one to gulags in the Arctic.

Theft of one's money will do just as well:

Although the Northern Ontario municipal leader vowed not to honour a $5,000 fine the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario (HRTO) levied against him for comments surrounding town council not approving a motion to approve Pride month, he wasn’t given a choice.

In fact, the winner of the judgement that McQuaker called “extortion” has boasted it has already gone into his bank account to collect the money.

“Sure, sex is great, but have you ever garnished your mayor’s bank account after he publicly refused to comply with a Tribunal’s order to pay damages?” states a Borderland Pride post on Facebook.

It seems like they are enjoying this.

Council may not have let them raise a rainbow flag for Pride month but they are planting a flag in the ground to show Emo is their town.

“Mayor McQuaker’s comments in the Toronto Sun and other media were very clear that he did not respect nor intend to comply with the Tribunal’s orders,” Borderland Pride said in an email. “Consequently, it was apparent he would not voluntarily make payment of the damages ordered. We took immediate action to garnish his bank account.”

What McQuaker told the Sun was, “I utterly refuse to pay the $5,000 because that’s extortion” and also said he would not partake in an Ontario Human Rights Commission re-education course.

 

(Sidebar: the Khmer Rouge also did things like that.)

 

And the special-interest groups wonder why it's called a "mafia".
