A lawsuit has been served against our Canadian "sister" site, Free Dominion.

Its purpose is to silence free speech.
And, to shut down discussion of any and all subjects which offend the perpetually aggrieved, professional whiners & moaners.
 

The skull behind the Smiley Face of "political correctness" is revealed-- and bear in mind, the Legal Jackal, Richard Warman, behind all this is getting rich, using the law to cudgel people in to silence-- but the threat, to free speech, is real:

Oh, yeah, he wants $150,000 in damages, but he is willing to settle this for the bargain price of $10,900.


I can't think of any words that are contemptuous enough to use in response to that.



Backhoe says:
What a sorry, conniving, thieving little bastard.


Abusing the might and majesty of the law to extort money from innocent people.

And, to silence them.

All under the aegis of "rights..."

At least with a common street criminal, you know you are dealing with a crook- he is nothing more than a silk-shirted thief.

Connie, you let us know what you need- me and Miss Emily are far from rich, but we'll scrape the floorboards, and I can always bump the fundraisers with drivel and doggerel and musings from the swamps of Georgia...

Get the meanest, most aggressive lawyer you can find.

 FRESH MARKIAN GOODNESS– “See you in court”.. Here’s the opening of Mark Steyn’s speech at the Fraser Institute in Vancouver on the subject of the hate speech charges brought against him by British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal for criticizing Islam …. (belmont.blog)

"See you in court"

Here's the opening of Mark Steyn's speech at the Fraser Institute in Vancouver on the subject of the hate speech charges brought against him by British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal for criticizing Islam. It's a Gangbusters type curtain raiser, but the longer we read the more apparent it is that the speech is less about radical Islam than something else.

I’m honoured to be here. The only other invitation I’ve had from Vancouver is from the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal which begins its case against my “hate speech” next Monday. I confess until this case came about I’d always assumed Canada had freedom of speech. I was south of the border, and you may remember that business from last year when Senator Larry Craig had his unfortunate run-in with the undercover cop in the Minneapolis Airport men’s room. I was amazed to read this story in the newspaper a few months ago, announcing that his lawyer had filed a brief arguing that the hand gestures Senator Craig supposedly made under the bathroom stall divider were constitutionally protected free speech under the First Amendment. What a great country. In Canada, according to the Canadian Islamic Congress, “freedom of speech” doesn’t extend to my books and newspaper columns. But in America Senator Craig’s men’s room semaphore is covered by the First Amendment. From now on, instead of writing about radical Islam, I’m only going to hit on imams in bathrooms.

This is my first ever speech in Vancouver. And, amazingly enough, it’s also my last ever speech in Vancouver. So it’s kind of a two-for-one night. It’s like when they say “Direct from Broadway. Limited engagement.” This is a very limited engagement. The reason for that is, next Monday, the excerpt from my bestselling hate crime, America Alone, that Maclean’s made the mistake of publishing, next Monday that book excerpt goes on trial at the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal. As some of you know, the Canadian Islamic Congress has accused me and Maclean’s of “flagrant Islamophobia”. And the trial begins Monday morning at the Robson Square courthouse – 9 o’clock Monday morning. Go to Robson Square and look for the old lady by the guillotine doing her knitting, you can’t miss it. She’s knitting a nice “The World Needs More Canada” sweater out of discarded copies of Magna Carta. It’s a very moving sight. It would have, of course, be wholly improper of me to comment on a case before the courts, but hey, that’s the kinda guy I am.

But what "kinda guy" is modern Western multiculturalism, that proud creation of "progressive" thought? It is, in the last analysis, the principal ally of every fascist unicultural force there is. Steyn soon warms to the point that what is at issue isn't what Islam is; because Islam will be what it will be. What is at issue in the hate speech proceedings is what the West wants to be.

What we’re up against is not primarily defined by what’s going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those are still essentially military campaigns and we’re good at those. ... it might be truer to say that this is a Cold Civil War – by which I mean a war within the west. The real war is a domestic war: the key terrain is not the Sunni Triangle but every major city within the western world. ...

Even if there were no battles in Iraq and Afghanistan, even if no one was flying planes into tall buildings in New York, even if no one were blowing up trains and buses and nightclubs in Madrid and London and Bali, even without all that, we would still be in danger of losing this thing – without a shot being fired.

Steyn's insight -- that the War on Terror is essentially the consequence of a Western disease that manifests itself in the newly found power of medieval madmen -- is the key point. All September 11, Iraq, Afghanistan have done is focus attention on a silent struggle that has been going on within Western culture for last hundred years. It is the ideational counterpart of violent struggles of the 20th century. The men who we remember on Memorial Day only buried the physical corpus of totalitarianism. It remains for us, in the twenty first century, to lay its ghost to rest.

Can we do it without restarting the violence of the last hundred years? Perhaps. But can we do it without a mental and legal struggle. Definitely not. And so Mark Steyn continues in defiance of the thought police. Because that's the kind of guy he is.

Jim Matkin on HRCs
 
http://jaycurrie.info-syn.com/

This writer’s first-hand experience as Deputy Minister of Labour, drafting the first Human Rights Code for B.C. in 1974, fully supports the view from Mr. Levant’s testimony: “The commission was meant as a low-level, quasi-judicial body to arbitrate squabbles about housing, employment and other matters, where a complainant felt that their race or sex was the reason they were discriminated against. The commission was meant to deal with deeds, not words or ideas.”

The only solution to this unwelcome censorship in my opinion is new legislative amendments to cut down the human rights officials across Canada which are out of control by usurping a role of censors of political speech. Censuring those such as Mr. Steyn and Mr. Levant, who are debating the troubling realities of religious and cultural conflict, is a disservice and is not the intention of the original authors of the legislation. jim matkin - stockwatch - subscription required

Matkin writes an excellent account of Mark Steyn’s sold out speech to the Fraser Institute but I thought his remarks as a former, and very widely respected, deputy minister are interesting. First because he confirms that none of the people drafting the legislation contemplated speech as a target. Second because it is clear that our concerns with the HRC interference with freedom of speech have gone well beyond the blogosphere.

Mark Steyn speech: "See you in court"

"What we’re up against is not primarily defined by what’s going on in Iraq and Afghanistan. Those are still essentially military campaigns and we’re good at those. ... it might be truer to say that this is a Cold Civil War – by which I mean a war within the west.

(More on the speech here.)



Support Mark Steyn outside "kangaroo court" on June 2

I wish I could be there -- but there's a way for all of us to be there in spirit:

The Covenant Zone bloggers will be demonstrating in support of Mark Steyn and Maclean's magazine, and against the ludicrous operation of "human rights" law in this country, when Mark's hearing in front of the British Columbia Human Rights Tribunal kicks off, next Monday, June 2. We will meet at 8AM in front of the Provincial Court House at 800 Hornby where, according to the BCHRT website, the hearing will take place. (...)

Now since many people interested in this "trial" are not in the Vancouver area, we thought we would offer people a way of participating in our demonstration. We intend to carry signs and hand out leaflets. The problem we have is how to communicate the current "human rights" travesty in some catchy phrases or slogans. This is an invitation to send us ideas. We want slogans and/or aphorisms or short statements that can appeal to ordinary citizens, to communicate something of the evil that will be unfolding in the court house to those who may not know what is going on. We want phrases that will be memorable, perhaps even one day historical.

Phew!! "We don't send weak or frivilous cases to the Tribunal..."

"When you say anyone can speak freely in a democratic society, does that include Mark Steyn...?"

My co-author Pete Vere interviews a spokesman for the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Lots of "no comments" and cliches...

Gee, why is Pete asking all those questions about privacy...?

(Posted to YouTube in two parts, but just audio files.)

Remember, according to FreedomSite:

NOT A SINGLE respondent has ever won a section 13 case

98% of cases have poor or working class respondents

90.7% of respondents are not represented by lawyers

$99,000 has been awarded in fines and special compensation since 2003.

35 respondents have lifetime speech bans (Cease and Desist) orders and if not followed the victims could face up to 5 years in prison.

An Informal Arrangement With Our Spy Agency

Tory MP: repeal section 13, "weed out corruption", fight "tirelessly" for freedom

| | |
CumminsJohn_CPC.jpg

John Cummins is the Conservative MP for the B.C. riding of Delta-Richmond East. On May 18, he received this letter from a constituent. Some excerpts:

I have always voted Conservative federally. Always... But, unless I see concrete evidence before the next election that the Conservative Government is taking concrete steps to rectify the many problems endemic to the Canadian Human Rights Commission, I will not be voting Conservative in the next election. I will be encouraging others to follow my lead.

...It takes a lot to get me out of my chair, and I have never written a letter to my MP or MLA before...

The [CHRC] is corrupt and it is a direct threat to our fundamental freedoms. I cannot think of a more deadly combination...

The Government's submissions in the Lemire case are a disgrace and an embarrassment... Please note that the right not to be offended is NOT enshrined in our Bill of Rights. It is more important than the current price of gas or whether our troops should be in or out of Aghanistan. In fact, when you think about it, it is why our soldiers are fighting in Afghanistan...

It's really a great letter. Again, you can read the whole thing here.

Two days later, Cummins replied -- not just to his constituent, but with a forceful and principled letter to the Prime Minister's office, too. You can see a copy of that letter here. Its text (I've bolded some great lines):

Dear Prime Minister:

I am writing on behalf of [name redacted] who wrote (copy enclosed) regarding his concerns with the Canadian Human Rights Commission...

In his letter to me, [name] states, "the CHRC is corrupt and a direct threat to our fundamental freedoms." He states that he wants to see the corruption weeded out, Section 13(1) repealed and to see the CHRC returned to its original, limited mandate. You should know that I am in full support of [name]'s request regarding the CHRC. Canadian soldiers have given their lives fighting for the freedom of speech and freedom of the press. These rights should be passionately and tirelessly protected.

I am asking that you respond to [name]'s concerns as expressed in his letter to me.

Thank you for your consideration of this important matter.

Yours truly,

John Cummins, M.P.

Delta - Richmond East

Those are two great letters, by two Canadians who care very deeply about freedom.

Please take a moment to send Cummins an e-mail of encouragement. Just click here.

And if you haven't yet written to your own MP asking for his or her views on the CHRC, please do so now. You can find your MP's contact information here (by name) and here (by postal code). If you get a reply, please send it to me by e-mail. We're racking up quite a tally of MPs from both the Conservative and Liberal parties. I'm impressed with the bi-partisan nature of this campaign, which is exactly how it ought to be. Freedom of speech is bigger than partisan politics, and I'm glad our Parliamentarians understand that -- in fact, the word Parliament itself comes from the Old French word "to talk".

Fifteen Government of Alberta employees are working on my case

| | |

UPDATE: E-mail link fixed.

I received the first, 200-page tranche of records from my Freedom of Information request to the Alberta Human Rights Commission, internal documents relating to their investigation and prosecution of me for publishing the Danish cartoons of Mohammed.

There are a lot of gaps in those documents that my lawyer will try to get them to fill in -- it's obvious they don't want to show me certain things. But even the edited pages they have sent over paint a fascinating picture -- sometimes troubling, sometimes hilarious. I've skimmed through them, and I plan to post some interesting nuggets over the next few days.

One thing that surprised me was just how many government bureaucrats are working on my file. I obviously knew a few -- like Shirlene McGovern, my interrogator and fellow YouTube TV star. But then I started counting: there were fourteen people working on my file, plus a pair of mysterious initials!

In alphabetical order, here are "my guys", as I have affectionately come to call them:

  1. Gerard Dale
  2. Nichole Daugherty
  3. Heidi Draper
  4. Jennifer Drover
  5. Pardeep Gundara
  6. Dave Haynes
  7. Donna MacKinnon
  8. Charlach Mackintosh
  9. Shirlene McGovern
  10. Michael McQuaid
  11. Marie Riddle
  12. Kathleen Samuel
  13. Tara Tkachuk
  14. Wendy Wong
  15. “L.B.”

Friends, until I received this information, I thought the complaint was about me. How selfish I was! Me, me, me -- that was all I could talk about! I couldn't go a day without bitching about my nearly $100,000 legal fees; or complaining about the 800 days I've been under the stigma of this prosecution; or whining about "freedom this" or "due process that".

 

I see now that this is much bigger than me. It's about putting bread on the table for fifteen hungry families. In the Alberta economy (unemployment rate: 3.3%) if these government bureaucrats couldn't prosecute me for a living, they might actually have to venture out from their 30 hour a week public sector union jobs and do some respectable work. The complaints against me aren't just about the "human rights" of cartoon-a-phobic radical Muslims. It's about the human right of a lot of government employees to continue to suck on the public teat.

 

What about Shirlene "Muzzle" McGovern's new car? Who will buy Pardeep "Gag Order" Gundara his new cabin at the lake? And doesn't poor Jennifer "Dhimmi" Drover deserve a wild weekend with her girlfriends in Las Vegas?

 

As they acknowledged in their own annual report, complaints to Alberta’s HRC are down 15% over last year. Any real business that lost 15% of its customers in a single year would either lay off staff or risk going out of business. Neither of those are possibilities here, of course -- so increasingly insane "human rights" complaints are entertained, merely to keep the office looking busy.

 

I've written a lot about the corrupt Canadian Human Rights Commission. But Alberta's HRC is just as nutty. It answers not to the provincial justice minister, but to the province's "Culture and Community Spirit" ministry. That's funny and sad at the same time.

 

Why not show your community spirit and send a note to Lindsay Blackett, the freshman MLA elected just two months ago, who is now minister of this portfolio. His biography looks surprisingly normal for a politician -- he coaches sports, and before becoming a politician, he sold electronics. In other words, he doesn't come from the grievance industry. He's also Black, living in a very white neighbourhood of Calgary. Which means he knows Albertans aren't bigoted and in need of a human rights commission to tell them how to behave. Otherwise, how could he have won his riding so handily? And Blackett isn't beholden to any ethno-politics for his victory.

 

Blackett is only two months on the job, so I doubt he's had a chance to become well-briefed on this file. I think it's time we sent him some correspondence to help bring him up to speed, don't you?

 

You can e-mail him here.

 

For 15 Government of Alberta employees, the human rights complaint I'm fighting isn't about me, and it certainly isn't about the law. It's about those 15 unionized grievance hustlers riding an 800-day gravy train, and not wanting the party -- at taxpayers' expense -- to end anytime soon.

 

" Ezra,

You forgot your usual epilogue, so I will add it for you:

Fire. Them. All."

 

' Hmm, turn the lights on, and watch the roaches scatter, I always say.

I suspect this posting of yours meets the Alberta HRC's definition of a "hate crime", so they'll be knee-jerking another two or three charges your direction.

Keep after them!

We're watching in the States.

Kirk

 

The complainants have responsibilities, too!

| | |

There's a lot of little nuggets in the FOIP disclosure that I got from the Alberta HRC. Like a letter sent to the two complainants against me, Calgary imam Syed Soharwardy and Yasmeen Nizam of the Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities. Did you know that complainants have responsibilities, too? Well, one responsibility:

maintain a current mailing address where you can be contacted.

So let's see. I have to retain my own legal counsel at my own expense, whether I win or lose; I have the stigma of a prosecution for 800 days and counting; I am to be "judged" by a panellist who is not a judge, and likely not even a lawyer, and who has no training in constitutional matters like freedom of speech of freedom of religion; I do not have the benefits that a criminal accused has, such as the "beyond a reasonable doubt" burden of proof against me; I have fifteen government workers beavering away against me.

And the real bigots complaining against me, who have hijacked our secular state to prosecute their medieval fatwa? Why, they must keep a mailing address. Fair's fair!

UPDATE: I discovered another letter telling Yasmeen Nizam, of the Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities to keep her address up to date. I'm not sure if that responsibilitiy was posing a challenge to Nizam, or if the HRC staff were just really bored. This letter has that instruction WRITTEN IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS so perhaps there was some problem. I'd call that use of capital letters culturally insensitive on the part of the HRC -- it's like shouting at someone. I think that's discriminatory. Perhaps they can open another file and log another couple of hundred of hours on the taxpayers' dime.

But there is another line in this letter that made me chuckle:

you are expected to make every reasonable effort to minimize any losses you may be having as a result of what you are complaining about. Please keep a written record of everything you do to minimize your losses, or in other words, to improve your situation.

I can hardly wait for the hearing. I'd love to see Nizam's little grievance journal about the "losses" she continues to suffer because of some cartoons published two years ago. I can just imagine them now:

February 25th: I was driving down Whyte Avenue today and someone cut me off in traffic, and honked at me. Clearly an Islamophobe. Damn those Danish cartoons!

" I find it shocking that it takes so many government employees to trample on one persons right to free speech and expression."

'Well, it would be really interesting to see what Richard Warman did to "minimize his losses" and still end up with five figure judgments, especially as his complaints were on behalf of groups to which he does not belong like gays and non-whites.'

One of the items disclosed to me by the Alberta HRC is the list of questions that Shirlene McGovern, the human rights "officer" assigned to my case, asked Syed Soharwardy. Soharwardy is the bigoted Calgary imam who filed this hand-scrawled complaint against me (and then abandoned that complaint after a wall of public backlash. The identical Edmonton complaint against me continues to slouch forward.)

Here are McGovern's questions for Soharwardy. There's a lot of crap in there, and I'll try to comment on it all later. But focus on question 10:

HRC question 10.JPGShe talks about the "most offensive" Danish cartoon -- the one with "mohammed as animal/pig; sex with animal".

But no such cartoons were ever published by a Danish newspaper, nor by our magazine. Here are the original 12 cartoons exactly as published in Denmark: we chose eight of those.

What McGovern is referring to are three cartoons fabricated by Danish imams, designed to be as offensive as possible, in order to whip up ignorant Muslim mobs that might not get sufficiently excited about the actual Danish cartoons.

In other words, McGovern was duped by jihadist propaganda. Soharwardy must have smiled like a cat when he heard her regurgitate those lies as if they were truths.

Now there are two possible explanations for why McGovern asked that false question.

The first possible explanation is that she is ignorant. That's probably the case. One would have to show a degree of intellectual curiosity to see what the real cartoons looked like, rather than accepting jihadist propaganda at face value. That might include such advanced investigative tactics as a quick Google search.

But, really, why should a second-rate bureaucrat at a third-rate government agency be an expert in jihadi tactics? Human rights commissions have expertise in precisely nothing; Alberta's Workers Compensation Board is expert in rehabilitation; Alberta's Energy Resources Conservation Board is expert in oil and gas development; etc. Human rights commissions are filled with people whose uniting characteristic is their mediocrity. My favourite example at the Alberta HRC is one of their in-house lawyers, Arman Chak. Besides being a Muslim supremacist bigot, he's most famous for placing dead last in the Alberta Law Society elections, where every lawyer in the province gets a vote. That's the kind of talent pool the Alberta HRC recruits from.

Human rights commissions are home to such anti-experts as the Vancouver clown, Judy Parrack of the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal, who ruled that McDonald's couldn't force its employees to wash their hands, since "there was no evidence about the relationship between food contamination and hand-washing frequency," to quote her exactly.

These are the bureaucrats who propose to tell me what I can or can't write about Danish cartoons -- bureaucrats who don't even know what cartoons were published in Denmark, and lack even a child's curiosity to find out.

Not that any purported "expertise" gives any government agency the right to censor a free press. But the outright buffoonery of the HRC is just insult on top of injury.

I think it's likely that Shirlene McGovern was just lazy and ignorant.

But there's another possibility: that she actually knew her file, that she actually did a moment's research, that she actually tried to give value for dollar to Alberta taxpayers, and that she spent, oh, say, one percent of the amount of time studying the Danish cartoons as I did and our magazine did.

And that she knew about the fake cartoons.

And that she knew they were a radical Islamist hoax.

But that she still went along with the hoax, in her role as the HRC's house dhimmi.

It's the less likely of the two theories, but it's possible. The secular Government of Alberta has put 15 bureaucrats to work prosecuting an Islamic fatwa against me for 800 days. If the Alberta HRC is now part of the soft jihad against radical Islam's critics, why not take another step down that road?

For now, I'll go with the ignornace excuse. But if, at my trial, I see Shirlene McGovern in a burka, I'll know I've got my explanation wrong. 

" Just when you thought it was at it's most Orwellian ....
...it's revealled that comrade Shirl has either been duped by her own client base or is an official apologist for Islamofascists."

' Hey Ezra, you seen this yet? I'd love to hear what you make of it:
Medical marijuana user files human rights complaint over smoking laws'

=================================================

Hi Ezra, I thought I would share the letter I just sent to the PMO (and also cc'd several relevant MP's and the Department of Justice).

To the Right Honourable Stephen Harper,

By now I would hope that the issue of the CHRC (and its provincial counterparts) has come to your attention. Therefore I will not waste time reciting history that has already been more than ably covered by certain politicians, journalists, and newspaper editorial boards.

Mr. Harper, I have been a supporter of you and your party - in its current and past incarnations - since I have been of voting age. For 15 years I have faithfully supported and advocated ‘conservative’ principles. By ‘conservative’ principles I am of course referring to classical liberalism. Or to be more precise, the sovereign rights of the individual such as the freedom of speech, religion and association; rights that have been, for the most part, staunchly defended by your party. Sadly, after reading the Justice Minister’s release on this issue, this no longer seems to be the case.

This is why I reluctantly but necessarily write today’s missive as I feel I no longer have any other honourable recourse. As you can see, I have sent copies of this letter to the Department of Justice, several members of parliament who have spoken out on this issue (both Liberal and Conservative), as well as my own Liberal MP Sue Barnes (whom I did not vote for).

My vote is not free Mr. Harper. And my fundamental beliefs are not swayed by political loyalty. As long as the official position of the Conservative Party of Canada is at odds with free speech, I will not, in any way, shape or form support the CPC with my votes, money, or advocacy. Whenever the next election occurs, my support will go to the member of any party in my riding who chooses to defend my fundamental right to free speech (regardless of how much I may disagree with the rest of their platform).

Mr. Harper, I believe you to be an honourable man. Because of that belief I have done much on your behalf and have defended many of your decisions, often at odds with my own self interest. But no more. If the Conservative Party of Canada - honourable exceptions aside - has chosen to abandon the principles that underpin liberal democracy, if it has chosen to sacrifice our fundamental human rights on the altar of political correctness, if it no longer believes in defending and honouring the blood, sweat and tears of our soldiers and their families, both past and present; then I have no other choice. I am not abandoning you Mr. Harper, you and your party have abandoned me. And more importantly, you have abandoned your country.

As you should well know, freedom is not free. I truly hope you come to realize this once again, as it will be to your eternal discredit if you do not.

If I had a Royal Commission - EXCELLENT Song - Go Listen!
You have to go listen to this song! They put so much effort into it, and they have links all through the lyrics.
 
Here comes the Rights Commission, second time today
Everybody logs off and hopes they go away
How many folks they've framed now, only God could say
But if I had a royal commission, I'd make somebody pay

I don't believe in Section 13 or investigators leaving bait
Cause if there ain't no haters out there, Lord, they're easy to create
And when I read on FreeDominion of Human Rights folks spreading hate
If I had a royal commission then I would set things straight

In the right wing blogosphere, one hundred thousand wait
To be sued by Richard Warman, or some less humane fate
It's just like Charlie Manson suing Sharon Tate
If I had a royal commission I would not hesitate

You can get them on the stand, but they're just gonna lie
Or say they don't remember who wrote those words or why
Stealing people's wireless -- echoes of the victims' wails --
If I had a royal commission, somebody'd go to jail

Since a lot of people liked the first movie trailer for The Last Days of the CHRC... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RHPX10xzlMc .

The directors have smuggled out of Canada a second movie trailer for The Last Days of the CHRC. In this one the CHRC finds out about the RCMP investigation and the Commissioner takes a trip to TO to see Special K's band SFH....

Lots of posts in this thread. Any chance there is one you can direct me to for a synopsis of what is happening? I was last up to date on Levant being hauled into the CHRC meeting and his brilliant rebuttal to the commission woman.

Who are these other players, Warman, CPC?

Yes, that's a problem- lots of raw data, and many players.

I've tried to get someone else to write a synopsis with links, but so far, no takers ( durn it. )--

The closest thing is to go to these sites and scroll back:

Government to launch inquiry into CHRC "investigative techniques", section 13

| | |

The Conservative government has introduced a motion to Parliament's Justice Committee proposing an investigation into the abusive, corrupt practises of the Canadian Human Rights Commission. The motion specifically refers to public "concerns" about the CHRC's "investigative techniques" and their "interpretation and application" of the section 13 thought crimes provision.

DykstraRick_CPC.jpgThe resolution, which you can read here in both official languages, was put forward by Rick Dykstra (pictured at left), the Conservative MP from St. Catherines, Ontario, with the knowledge and approval of the Justice Minister, Rob Nicholson. Here is an e-mail from Nicholson, sent to a voter just today, in which you can read his change of approach. An excerpt from Nicholson's letter:

I would like to inform you that my caucus colleague Mr. Rick Dykstra has tabled a motion that the House of Commons Standing Committee on Justice and Human Rights examine and make recommendations with respect to the CHRC, including its mandate, operations, and interpretation and application of provisions relating to section 13 of the CHRA, which addresses hate messages. I look forward to that review.

Jason Kenney, the Secretary of State for Multiculturalism, was also instrumental in getting this issue onto the government's agenda.

Here's the text of it:

Whereas concerns have been raised regarding the investigative techniques of the Canadian Human Rights Commission (the "Commission") and the interpretation and application of section 13 of the Canada Human Rights Act (the "Act"); and

Whereas the Commission operates independently and reports to Parliament;

Be it resolved that the Justice and Human Rights Committee examine and make recommendations with respect to the Canadian Human Rights Commission and in particular:

a) review the mandate and operations of the Commission;
b) review the Commission's application and interpretation of section 13 of the Act;
c) Solicit and consider oral submissions from the Chief Commissioner and oral or written submissions from other interested persons or organizations;
d) Submit a report, including any proposed amendments to the Canadian Human Rights Act arising out of the results of the Committee's inquiry.

The government's proposed inquiry comes on top of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada's announcement last month that she is investigating the corrupt and abusive conduct of the Canadian Human Rights Commission. And earlier this month, Ottawa police referred a criminal complaint about the CHRC to the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who are now conducting a criminal investigation.

I don't think the CHRC is going to be a pleasant place to work for the next year or so -- longer if criminal charges are laid.

These official investigations are on top of the nearly-unanimous public outrage at the CHRC's behaviour, which has drawn criticism from across the ideological spectrum. Groups ranging from PEN Canada, to the Canadian Association of Journalists, to the former executive director of EGALE, to the head of the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, to every newspaper in the country from right to left, have united in opposition to the CHRC.

This is not the end of our campaign, of course. As Winston Churchill said after the breakthrough British victory at El Alamein, "this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

Back in January, I outlined a two-phase plan:

1. Denormalize the commissions; and 2. Press legislators to act.

It's time to emphasize point two, but we should still keep up on point one. Point one is the easy part; frankly, Canada's HRCs undo themselves on nearly a daily basis. Think about the wall of negative press that's coming their way on Monday, when the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal starts their show trial of Maclean's magazine. When the Government of Alberta tried to censor the press 70 years ago, the Edmonton Journal won a Pulitzer Prize for their resistance, and the government of the day got a black eye. Let's keep helping the HRCs to give themselves black eyes.

But let's really dig in on this Parliamentary inquiry now -- phase two.

From what I understand, the motion has not yet gone to a vote at the Justice Committee, because of other procedural wrangling that's been tying up the committee. The first step is for the committee to pass the resolution, and that requires a majority of votes.

The second step is to make sure that whoever is conducting the inquiry into the CHRC's misconduct conducts a wide-ranging investigation, looking into all aspects of the CHRC's corruption. Just off the top of my head, that includes everything from the CHRC's habits of posting bigoted comments online; to their illegal use of police search warrants; to their refusal to disclose records to respondents as required by law; to their corrupt investigative practises and their inherent conflicts of interest; to their clear anti-speech animus; not to mention the obvious issues of Internet hacking.

No doubt, Canada's grievance industry -- the race hustlers, the second-rate lawyers, everyone who makes a buck off the system -- will be at any inquiry in spades, arguing desperately, maybe even in tears, for the retention of their meal ticket. They have to be countered; this can't become another convention of complainers-for-hire like the Canadian Race Relations farce I attended. It's got to represent not only the aforementioned pro-free-speech groups, but plenty of "severely normal" people, too. I think witnesses ought to include Canadian soldiers fighting in Afghanistan, to ask them what they think of the importance of freedom and the price we should pay to defend it.

The inquiry needs to do a lot of homework first, too -- lest it be bamboozled by the PR spin of the CHRC. Had I not read thousands of pages of transcripts and other documents, I wouldn't have known that Ian Fine was lying when I debated him last weekend in Edmonton. Fine might not even have known he was lying, if he was relying on his own staff to tell him the truth about their conduct. When you're going up against serial tricksters, you've got to be prepared.

But that comes later. For now, let's get this resolution through the Justice Committee. We can put together a briefing book for the MPs later, and even put together a raft of witnesses from whom the inquiry should hear. I think that should include everyone from Alan Borovoy to Marc Lemire. And I think Richard Warman himself should be subpoenaed to answer questions about his own online bigotry in the name of "human rights". I'm not sure his "I can't remember" shtick will go over as easily in Parliament as it did before the kangaroo courts. (Question: what is the penalty if a subpoenaed witness is found in contempt of Parliament?)

So let's get to work.

1. Write to Rick Dykstra giving him your support.

2. Write to Rob Nicholson, too. Though he was not the first to join the fray, he has done so. And, though many would have liked him to have moved faster, remember that governments -- especially a minority federal government, in continual jeopardy of an election -- move more slowly than the blogosphere does. All things considered, they're on track.

And though Nicholson's approach -- a Parliamentary inquiry -- may seem too deliberate for those of us who already know that the CHRC is a corrupt, abusive mess, an inquiry is the proper approach for a serious government that is contemplating wholesale changes to the CHRC. The i's must be dotted, and t's crossed. And, though such an inquiry will take months, I don't see it as a delay -- the opposite: I see it as a chance for the CHRC's worst actors to be subpoenaed, pinned down under oath, and grilled. That doesn't happen too often -- but when it does, amazing things happen, as the March 25th hearing proved. Imagine an inquiry conducted by someone who wasn't just a human rights industry patsy like those that stack the Canadian Human Rights Tribunals.

3. Write to the rest of the Justice Committee's members -- of all parties. The list of them can be found here. Encourage them to support the resolution for the inquiry. Remember, this is a non-partisan issue; plenty of Liberals have signed on to reforms, too. And I have just received an encouraging letter from the Bloc Quebecois that I'll post shortly.

4. And take a final moment to write to Jason Kenney and Keith Martin to thank them too. Kenney helped stick-handle this issue through the Conservative side of the aisle; and Martin helped give the issue important early momentum -- and non-partisan credentials -- through his own private member's motion.

We're winning.

Breakthrough On Busting the CHRC -- This shows the power of the blogosphere can actually get things moving. It also shows, once again, how irrelevant, the mainstream media is to Canadian life. With the exception of Mike Duffy and the National Post, the coverage of the attack on free speech in Canada has been atrocious. The Washington Times has had more coverage than any other paper in this country, except the National Post

I appreciate your looking, and the kind words-

-I expect the shredders in the various "commissions" and "tribunals" offices are running at turbo speed right now, but luckily the 'net has a memory, and ther eare many live witnesses.

It's going to get very interesting.

Shirlene McGovern hasn't yet read the article she was hired to investigate
| | |

In an earlier post, I pointed out how Shirlene McGovern, my Alberta Human Rights Commission interrogator, thought that the 12 Danish cartoons of Mohammed included three additional hoaxes, circulated by radical imams to whip up riots in the Muslim world. McGovern's written notes indicate that she had no clue that those three additional cartoons -- which depicted Mohammed as a pig, and having sex with a dog -- were fabrications made by Muslim agents provocateurs. The very first result in a Google search for "Danish cartoons" would have shown that was the case. Maybe one of the fifteen government bureaucrats working on my file might have tried that, but would have shown rather too much initiative.

But a keen-eyed correspondent reminded me of something even more startling: the very Western Standard article that the HRC is investigating reports that fact.

You can see a .pdf of the article, exactly as it ran, right here.

Here is a snapshot of the paragraph in which we point out the hoax cartoons:

hoax.JPGIt's one thing for Shirlene McGovern and her fourteen lazy confreres not to show enough curiosity to do some research into the Danish cartoons themselves.

But you'd think that, in the 800-plus days they've been investigating me for publishing a news article about cartoons, that they'd have taken a moment to actually read the news article they're investigating

Fire. Them. All.
