TORONTO, Mar 8 (LSN.ca) - The Canada Family Action Coalition (CFAC) is holding Ontario Premier Mike Harris responsible for the “religious persecution” of Toronto printer Scott Brockie, a Christian, who was fined $5,000 for refusing a printing job when asked to print materials for a group whose primary role is the promototion of homosexuality. “The Ontario Human Rights Commission on February 24 denied Scott Brockie, owner of a printing shop, his Charter rights to freedom of religion, conscience, and association,” said CFAC. The Premier is personally responsible for the state of affairs, says CFAC since “against the strenuous objections of hundreds of Ontarians, in 1996 Mike Harris appointed Keith Norton, a self- acknowledged homosexual ‘rights’ activist,” Chairman of the Ontario Human Rights Commission. Peter Stock CFAC National Affairs Director says, “In Keith Norton’s Ontario, homosexual ‘rights’ trump all the other rights that citizens have. But I don’t blame Mr. Norton: after all, what do you expect to happen when you put the fox in charge of the henhouse? Mike Harris is ultimately responsible for this religious persecution.”“Mr. Brockie, as a private citizen, has no duty to print material promoting homosexuality anymore than he has a duty to print material promoting the Klu Klux Klan,” said Stock. The tribunal ruling notes that the sole adjudicator Heather MacNaughton also ordered Brockie and his business Imaging Excellence to “provide the printing services that they provide to others, to lesbians and gays and to organizations in existence for their benefit.” See last week’s LifeSite coverage of the ruling: http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/2000/mar/000303.html#1 See the LifeSite coverage of Harris’ appointment of Norton: http://www.lifesite.net/ldn/1997/oct/971007.html#1 For a copy of the Brockie ruling email lsn@lifesite.net
