Sanity on censorship
 Published: Thursday, May 22, 2008

http://www.nationalpost.com/todays_paper/story.html?id=530424

In recent months, erstwhile ideological allies have been fighting a nasty battle over the issue of censorship in this country. The flash point is Section 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act, which--along with its provincial counterparts -- has empowered human rights commissions to investigate, and sometimes censor, conservatives who are alleged to have incited contempt against minority groups. These include Mark Steyn and Ezra Levant, both of whom have been accused of "Islamophobia" by complainants.

CHRC: Kaluszka - a Fundamental Change in the Case
 Lemire's lawyer, Barbara Kaluszka has responded to the Motion submitted by CAFE (Canadian Association for Free Expression) to the CHRT.

Socon or Bust is carrying this as well, with introductory comments.

The following letter to the CHRT by Marc Lemire’s lawyer, Barbara Kulaszka, hits on some very important points. However,  as something that is becoming par for the course, the Human Rights Racket has some real bias problems when its judges are also so-called human rights activists in previous careers.  Pay attention to Kulaszka’s reference to the Tribunal judge in Lemire’s case, Athanasios Hadjis’, previous HR gig.

It’s quite disturbing that you have someone who presumes to sit as Judge in a case dealing with free speech vs. so-called human rights issues when his previous gig was joining in a coalition with one of the most interested parties to the HR sham, the Canadian Jewish Congress!  And if that is not the worst of it, the CJC is also an interested party to the Warman v. Lemire case, the same case Hadjis “presides” over!

The brazen judicial incest of it all is mind boggling.
