What were the “statements of bigotry and intolerance"?
The welfare of the people in particular has always been the alibi of tyrants, and it provides the further advantage of giving the servants of tyranny a good conscience.

You'll have to ask him. Or you can watch the video or read the transcript of the LSUC convocation:

Pretty shit reporting if they don't even identify the subject of the controversy. How is the reader to decide for themselves if the statements were or were not statements of bigotry and intolerance?
Dishonest reporting, or incompetent reporting??

The important point is that the judges do not seem very sympathetic to TWU's claim that it is they who are the victims of intolerance here. That could be an indication of how they will rule.

Well duh, of course the Judges don't think badly of themselves.
The important question is, are the Judges bigoted and intolerant? Or does that not matter, the outcome is the only concern?

"The judges"? Maybe you should get a clue about the topic of this thread before you start "contributing" to it.

And break an almost perfect record?
The problem with fantasies is you can't really insist that everyone else believes in yours, the other problem with fantasies is that most believers of fantasies eventually get around to doing exactly that.

So when you posted the article with the claim the Judges were giving “statements of bigotry and intolerance”, that was not on topic?
Did you post in the wrong thread?

Huh? When did I do that? Are you perhaps thinking of some other post, by some other person?

Maybe read the article in its whole Jerome. The LSUC are not the judges in any way...they are the Law Society of Upper Canada which was the group that said it wouldn't accredit the school.

He doesn't have to read the whole article. Just the part I quoted, which says in part:
TWU lawyer Robert Staley told the three-judge panel that a transcript of the debate on the issue by LSUC benchers — they denied accreditation in a 28-21 vote — revealed “statements of bigotry and intolerance.”

You could read that to make it the LSUC benchers means the judges on the bench. Not easily but it could be read that way.

Yes. And, while on the bench, the three of them voted 28-21 against accrediting the school. I wonder how Jerome worked out the math on that one.

Predictable how uncomfortable truths begin the personal attacks, with a bonus attempt to derail the conversation.
If you think it is okay for agencies to be bigoted against the religious, just say so.

What truth? You don't know what the lawyer meant or what exact things he thought were bigoted or intolerant. And you were wrong about who had been claimed to have said anything that might have been bigoted or intolerant.
Since you were wrong just say so.

The truth is in the circumstance, this conversation did not start with the most recent article linked.
If you think it is okay for agencies to be bigoted against the religious, just say so.

Prove any agency has been bigoted against the religious. Better do a better job than that lawyer did.
