Team Empathy and Inclusion are attempting to destroy people’s lives when they won’t bend the knee to their ideological bullshit.

 

“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.

On ensuring he did pay, Borderland Pride said, “The garnishment was issued by the court and delivered to the CIBC in Emo, which is the only bank in that community” and ”there is no hearing or application to issue a notice of garnishment – it is a service provided at the court counter or online once a person has an order for the payment of money.”Borderland Pride also wrote, “Orders of the Tribunal can be enforced in the same manner as any civil judgment for the payment of money. We intend to ensure the Tribunal’s orders are complied with.”

Turns out Mayor McQuaker is not in charge there – Borderland Pride is.

Cancel culture is cancelling this mayor and digging into his personal savings too. On a weak premise that there is discrimination of LGBT people there, the enforcement is harsher than most violent criminals receive. It seems like a heavy-handed, undemocratic move, not to mention a violation of personal finances, and cruel and unusual punishment.”

 

“There is no decision so far on the status of the $10,000 fine HRTO slapped on the Township of Emo for the 2020 decision by town council to vote three to two against granting a request for there to be a Pride month in the village of just 1,400 people. And Borderland Pride said they have so far not garnished the township as they await that decision.”

“I will not be commenting until next Wednesday (council’s next meeting) when we will make a statement,” McQuaker said Friday, adding his “knuckles have been rapped” this week.”

  I’m tired of the activist bullshit.  But using the state to penalize a village for a decision made democratically is just beyond the pale.

This isn’t my Canada – where rule of law and democracy take a backseat to the fucking hurt feelings of LGBTQ+ activists.  This is overreach and must be reversed at once.
