Alberta is in an election. And  Christian group, Concerned Christians Canada has launched a Human Rights Complaint against the Alberta Tories.

In 2007 Tory Premier Ed Stelmach refused to endorse anti gay candidate Craig Chandler who has a history of human rights violations. Concerned Christians Canada says the Tories are being anti-Christian.

However, Chandler was not rejected simply for being Christian; if that were true, most of the MLAs in Stelmach’s government wouldn’t be there today either. Chandler was rejected because he repeatedly infringed upon the human rights of gay people. Having been raised Catholic, I’d argue that such views are decidedly non-Christian.

Blake’s faulty justifications aside, this human rights case doesn’t have a hope of succeeding. Human rights statutes prohibit discrimination in services that are commonly available to the public. Having your candidacy rejected because you don’t represent the views of the political party to which you applied does not fall in that category. more at: Slap Upside The Head
