Should I care that I offend you?

It was Benjamin Disraeli who, after reflecting on Britain’s vaunted intellectual liberty, observed the “we are a nation so fundamentally at one, that we can afford to differ.”

Free speech has given way to racial vilification laws.

When the Geta is on the Other Foot: Xenophobia in the Canadian Immigration Policy Towards Japan, 1907-1908

Abstract

A Canadian diplomatic mission led by Rodolphe Lemieux in November 1907 shares an anniversary with the much-maligned Japanese immigration controls, introduced on 20 November 2007. The themes underlying the Lemieux mission - racial profiling, xenophobia, discrimination in immigration, and claims of unassimilability in the host country - resonate deeply with the current political climate in Japan. The anniversary of Lemieux’s arrival in Japan 100 years ago serves to remind us how little attitudes have changed in regards to immigration and racialization.continue

On Dec. 4, we announced that we had launched human rights complaints in Ontario, British Columbia and Ottawa against Maclean's magazine for its refusal to publish our response to its October 2006 article, "The Future belongs to Islam." This article claimed that due to lax immigration requirements and multiculturalism policies, Muslims are poised to take over entire Western societies and subject them to Islamic law, with the only question being "how bloody the transfer of real estate would be."
