This is a series of cb-s I in the world. I'm John Bachelor. I welcome Conrad Black, distinguished

biographer writing at the National Post about the Canadian Human Rights Commission and remarks made in the beginning

of this Christmas season that Christmas was, quote, a form of discrimination

quote deeply rooted in our identity as a settler colonialism state.

Those are remarks by the Human Rights Commission in an article published in Montreal.

I learned from the Human Rights Commission following this publication, Conrad Will

comment, that immediately afterwards the Quebec National Assembly unanimously adopted a motion in defense of Christmas.

The House of Commons did the same the next day.

Christmas under attack by the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

Conrad, a very good evening to you.

When I first read your column, I thought, surely this is a send-up.

You must explain to me the Canadian Human Rights Commission saying Christmas is discriminatory

against what it's about presents good evening to you

yeah good evening to you

you John. Well, I, you know, I'm really not competent to say exactly how the Human Rights Commission comes to its opinions.

So I can't describe the process, but I think what happens in general is that they purport

to focus on anything that isn't universal in its scope and applying equally and equivocally

to everybody in society. So they would stumble over Christmas as something

that is a religious and social occasion for approximately 90% of the population.

But while it may be a festivity happily observed by everybody, its origins are attached only

to the traditions of approximately 90% of the people and therefore it's discriminating against the others.

My reason from there.
