CANADIAN RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS-HIGHLANDS STYLE

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedom provides:

Fundamental Freedoms
Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms:
(a) freedom of conscience and religion;
(b) freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression, including freedom of the press and other media of communication;
(c) freedom of peaceful assembly; and
(d) freedom of association.

Duplicitous Daniher, he of Highland Companies fame, must have been spending too much time in Boston at the hedgefund company that is financing this proposed 2,400 acre, 200 foot open pit limestone mine, because he doesn't seem familiar with the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association that we Canadians enjoy.

At the museum meeting this past week Daniher actually said:

"...looking at the opposition expressed to the application, nearly every one of the writers in opposition....has a self interest in matters beyond the application before you this evening. Out of 10 letters in opposition, at least 6 are from members of NDACT....others are from neighbours who are in discussions to sell their land...."

And for good measure he also accused people of "making up meeting minutes" so to avoid that little accusation here, his words are on tape and can be confirmed: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hi-Xy4bgQ2k

In my mind, Highland's twisted logic appears to be if you are a Canadian citizen, but you happen to belong to some organization, any objection you make to anything should be discounted, even though the Charter of Rights and Freedoms give you the right to free association.

Lets insert another word in Daniher's little speech and see if it makes sense:

"Out of ten letters in opposition, at least six are from members of" (take out the word NDACT and insert one of the following)

United Church
PETA
Muslim Canadian Congress

Masonic Organization

You get the drift. It doesn't matter if you belong to any organization (as long as the organization does not exist to install hate or fear), be it PETA, Muslim Canadian Congress or NDACT. Well apparently it does matter to Highlands.

He actually sounded like a kid in the principals office tattletelling because he is being picked on. Reality is, he started it!!!!!!
