text: We should advance the notion of equal rights for all and SPECIAL PRIVILEGES FOR NONE!  Critics will respond that without special privileges such as affirmative action, the results will tend to favour certain groups. It is naïve to think you can socially engineer ultimate outcomes. Further, I want my son to make it into University because he is academically and intellectually qualified, not because he is white, black, or turquoise. And if a woman is appointed to Justin Trudeau's cabinet, it should be because she is the best qualified person available, not because of her gender. Equal rights for all - special privileges for none. If indigenous people conduct religious celebrations in public demonstrations, Christians get to do so as well.  If we have awards for women authors, there should be one for men. And maybe we should have "Straight Parades" to celebrate heterosexuality! The possibilities are intriguing!
