A bit divorced from reality - Ian Fine
Any Canadian citizen can file a complaint with the Commission. We do not have discretion to turn people away.Once a complaint is filed with the Commission, we have a responsibility to process it fairly and in accordance with established procedures. In most cases, this involves conducting an investigation. Only then can Commissioners decide whether there is enough evidence to warrant further inquiry or whether the complaint should be dismissed. ian fine
This would explain why my complaints re anti-antisemitism in Le Devoir (April 17), anti-Sihkism at the the CBC (April 18), and Islamic Holocaust Denier site Islamunity.com (April 22) have not even been acknowledged by Mr. Fine’s Commission.
I cannot imagine that “established procedures” include not bothering to acknowledge receipt of complaints filed by Canadian Citizens.
But, hey, I would not have believed they included posting hate messages under web aliases or wardriving peoples WiFi or lying under oath…but apparently they do.

Fine reminds me of Saddam’s information minister Baghdad Bob assuring Iraqis “This invasion will end in failure. The Americans are committing suicide by the hundreds” as the camera on him picks up American Tanks entering the street behind him. LOL
Famous last words Ian.
