Lucy on the Attack

In his emailed response to questions, Mr. Warman also alleged that the accusation at the core of this libel suit – that he was the author of a racist and sexist message posted on the far-right freedomsite.org—was “invented” by that site’s owner, Marc Lemire, as part of an effort to “derail” the hate speech case [...]

CHRC=Lucy=CHRC

“That a single citizen [Mr. Warman] is the largest sole user of a legal procedure for 10 years is newsworthy in itself. It also makes it impossible to scrutinize the CHRC’s conduct without scrutinizing Mr. Warman’s conduct, as they are largely one and the same on this issue,” the affidavit reads. national post

Great Moments in Media Relations

The pathetic lamers at the “homeless tent city” set up to protest homelessness managed to get themselves a bit of media attention by grabbing my pal Matt Chamber’s iPhone and erasing his audio files.

A young woman later identified as Harsha Walia interrupted:

“Wait a minute– is that guy recording?” she asked, stepping into the circle.

I said [...]

Free Speech - Political Speech - Wins

In a decision released February 25, the 3-member court ruled that William Whatcott did not violate section 14(1)(b) of the Saskatchewan Human Rights Code by distributing flyers to oppose the teaching of homosexuality in Saskatoon’s public schools.

The flyers distributed by Mr. Whatcott in Saskatoon and Regina in 2001 and 2002 were polemical and inflammatory, and [...]

Calgary Herald gets it

Because of his zeal, many accuse Warman of overstepping the bounds of liberty, calling him a modern-day witch hunter whose actions merely helped to inflame and spread the very hatred he sought to stamp out. One of his critics is Ezra Levant, the Calgary lawyer and conservative blogger whose outspoken comments about Warman and other [...]

Richard Warman bullies children

Canada’s hate sniffer in chief is threatening to sue Walker Morrow, Cowichan’s 17 year old writing wonder (and home schooler).

I commented over at Walker’s blog,

Canwest is not in a financial position to defend itself at the moment.

It is an ugly position to be in. Warman is flailing about suing bloggers. Now he’s picking on a [...]

FOI in

You will remember the coward Lynch when she was speaking in Dublin referred to a death threat against her. From her speaking notes:

and here is a sample of just one threat directed at me: “Someone
needs to take this fruitcake … shoot her in the back of her head
so that her face can’t be recognized, dump [...]

Hamas=Nazis

Quick…call Richard Warman. There’s a hate crime in progress.

Stung by bloggers making fun of their useless efforts to nail basement Nazis and loony Arthur Topham while ignoring the actual anti-semites in our midst, B’nai Brith connects the dots and notices where there are large number of people, with guns and rockets, actively trying to kill [...]

1947

People are already in many parts of the country reluctant to disclose their political views for fear of jeopardising their employment or livelihood under the State or a public authority. Parliament is treated more and more like a rubber stamp Reichstag, while the real legislative powers are translated to Ministers of the Crown. The Gestapo, [...]

What would Elmo do?

A good guide for conduct is to find out what Dr. Mohamed Elmasry’s position is and then take the precisely opposed position. But the deliberations of the All-Party Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Antisemitism ably chronicled by our pal Dr. Dawg is a bit of a puzzler.

Will Elmo jump on the bandwagon, cite the UN [...]

Rock meet Hard Place

Over at the Dawg’s knickers are in a twist over the commencement of:

With a flourish of trumpets, the portentously-named All-Party Canadian Parliamentary Coalition to Combat Antisemitism has begun its hearings. And by no coincidence an op-ed piece appeared in the Ottawa Citizen today, warning of the return of the “beast of anti-Semitism,” written by one [...]

Kitty gets results

BCF ripped the CJC’s new “Hate Speech” page to shreds. The CJC, recognizing, I suspect, that its effort was more than a little flawed, not to mention lame, pulled the page.

Good for Kitty.

Now, CJC, you have smart people: if you insist on writing this sort of crud at least do yourself the favour of [...]

Lynch lies again

At the Hearings of the Parliament of Canada Justice and Human Rights Committee, the coward Lynch stated that there was only one current s. 13 matter being dealt with by the Commission.

She conveniently forgot the Marc Lemire has filed a s. 13 against Richard Warman for the assorted messages Warman posted to the net. Now, [...]

Lucy and Jenny sitting in a tree

By the way, guess who Lynch was sitting beside during the second hour of the meeting? Richard Warman who is under investigation for hate speech. I’ll let you draw any conclusions about the appropriateness of that. The Miss Marprelate Tracts

Too bad no one snapped a picture.

But if this is true and there is no reason [...]

Deb was in the Room

The wonderful Deborah Gyapong took time off from swimming the Tiber (and her posts on that are deeply moving) to stop by the Justice Committee hearing today. There she snapped some pictures.

Richard Warman was there. It was interesting to see him in person. He asked me to identify myself because I was taking pictures and [...]

Quick Reaction

Mark Freiman, as expected, was every bit as smart and as able as any advocate can hope to be. One can certainly take issue with his points but not with the way he presented them.

My transcription skills are limited and I caution anyone reading that these posts are not a transcript; rather they are [...]

What a mess

Lynch stuck to her talking points.

The Committee members either had no clue or were grievously under prepared. And the 5-7 minute rule renders this sort of proceeding pointless.

trahison des clercs

Dear Sirs/Mesdames,

On Oct. 5th, Mark Steyn and I testified before the Justice Committee in relation to the Canadian Human Rights Commission. Mr. Comartin and other MPs requested additional information. On Oct. 8, I sent the below e-mail to the Committee, care of the clerk, Miriam Burke.

Ms. Burke told me today that, although she did receive [...]

The Official Coward Lynch Drinking Game

You know how this works…but at 12:30 on a work day I fear I’ll be drinking coffee. Your tipple is between you and your boss. If my day permits I may be live blogging the coward Lynch’s writhings before the Committee. Stay tuned.
