Gypsy Rose Levant: Inspired by the example of perimenopausal peeler/"human rights" advocate  Kimberlee Ouwroulis, (who, ironically enough, seems to have some, er, issues with visible minorities), Canada’s champion of free speech has decided to take up a second, more lucrative career:

…I visited the CBC website's story about Ms. Ouwroulis, and she has been actively posting comments about her own case. Some of them are biographical details, most of them are declaring that she's prettier than her photo makes her look. But I thought these two were a hoot:

We all got hired at other clubs; oddly the other clubs we were hired at were all owned by caucasian owners. Mr. Sit is Asian; and I believe is more predjudiced and youth driven...than other club owners. Too bad for me; and the others.

That Mr. Sit! He's Asian -- and you know how Asians are!

Perhaps Mr. Sit could file a human rights complaint against Ms. Ouwroulis. He could accuse her of racism (if "Asian" is a race), and she could accuse him of ageism. I wonder which ism would trump the other, in this game of politically correct poker. She's an ageing woman; he's just an Asian man. I think he'd lose -- Asians don't do well in the grievance business. As a group, they're too successful to be "victims".

But Ms. Ouwroulis? If she can just avoid trash talking blacks, gays or Jews or a little bit longer, I think she could be in the money. She sure thinks so:

Firstly; there are damage awards in Human Rights; for example Age Discrimination, Humiliation in the workplace, Loss of Income, since june 6,
these categories add up some times; combined with a 'loss' of income; I actually didn't come up with the 100 grand amount; the original reporter did; I am seeking damages; and don't know how much it would actually be. *that is in the application the damages; but not listed amounts as such

$100,000? Why not? She's got the lingo down pat -- "humiliation", "damages", etc.

I think I might get in on the game. Sure, I might be a little old, fat and male for the New Locomotion night club. But why don't I apply to Mr. Sit (that prejudiced Asian with his focus on youth!). When he turns me down, I'll be able to complain on the grounds of age, appearance and gender. If Ouwroulis can get $100,000 for just being old, I should be able to get $200,000 for my welt of grievances.

My advice for Ezra: If you’re gonna bump it, bump it with a trumpet.
