They Took All the 'Rights' Put 'Em in a 'Rights' Museum--and Used the Queen to Lend the Benighted Behomoth Credibility

Have you heard about Canada's new national motto. It used to be "a mari usque ad mare"--from sea to sea (it's a crib from the bible). But our glorious Trudeaupia has amended it to "a HRC usque ad HRC"--no translation required, I trust. To add injury to insult, the Queen, who's in Canada for a visit, and who is extremely obliging to members of her Commonwealth, has been compelled to enshackle the Magna Carta, a doc that set the West on the path to freedom, to Canada's mausoleum of "human rights," the white elephant that pays homage to the ideology of fake "rights" while our genuine ones have been all but buried. Read this and weep:
MONTREAL — Queen Elizabeth II hailed the special contribution to Canada's culture made by the country's native peoples, attending a performance of indigenous dance and visiting the site of a future museum for human rights.
The queen, who is Canada's titular head of state, on Saturday unveiled the cornerstone of the new Canadian Museum for Human Rights, which she brought with here from the fields of Runnymede near Windsor Castle, where the original Magna Carta was signed in 1215.

"The symbolism of the Magna Carta is now joined to the historical importance of a site where aboriginal peoples gathered for thousands of years to exchange views and resolve conflicts," the queen said at a ceremony held at the future Two Fork museum site.

The human rights museum is scheduled to open in 2012.

England's historic "great charter" over the centuries guaranteed the liberties of the King's free subjects and restricted his absolute power, thereafter becoming the template for constitutions and statutes of many other countries...
Oh, well. It was nice while it lasted.
