'[The commission's] not there to mediate hurt feelings caused by some words or not,' Culture Minister Lindsay Blackett told CBC. 'If it's hateful, then that's a hate crime. And that's something for the Crown attorneys and the police services to investigate.'" ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/04/12/alberta-minister-boissoin-human-rights-case-should-never-have-gone-to-commission/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/31/homosexual-activist-appeals-exoneration-of-canadian-pastor-boissoin/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/31/homosexual-activist-appeals-exoneration-of-canadian-pastor-boissoin/#comments Wed, 31 Mar 2010 18:25:36 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/wordpress/?p=57050 ]]> http://www.alliancealert.org/2010/03/31/homosexual-activist-appeals-exoneration-of-canadian-pastor-boissoin/feed/ 0 http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/12/29/religious-liberty-gay-rights-clash-in-2-prominent-cases/ http://www.alliancealert.org/2009/12/29/religious-liberty-gay-rights-clash-in-2-prominent-cases/#comments Tue, 29 Dec 2009 22:38:29 +0000 Admin http://www.alliancealert.org/?p=46573 Baptist Press: "Religious liberty suffered a setback in the U.S. but won a victory in Canada in December in two closely watched cases involving the legal tug-of-war between religious rights and 'gay rights' . . . Attorneys allied with the Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian legal group, are involved in both cases . . .
