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 my e-mail, she has not yet translated it nor sent it out to Committee members, and has no idea when that will happen. Given that the chief commissioner of the CHRC will be at Committee today, I am taking the liberty of sending this to individual Committee members directly.
Finally, I note that another witness before the Committee today, Richard Moon, has published a version of his Committee remarks in advance on the Internet. I attach a Word document pointing out his factual errors, with hyperlinks to the primary documents I reply upon.
Yours truly,
Ezra Levant
This is outrageous.
Proper procedure, which Ezra followed, is to provide a Parliamentary Committee with documents through its Clerk. In principle, the Clerk then circulates the material provided to the members of the Committee. Apparently this did not happen here.
Ez has resent the material, this time directly to the members. They have will have three hours to prep.
We’ll see who rises to the occasion.

Oh, I’m sure it was just an “oversight”—snort!

I’m snorting as well Natasha, in utter contempt for this sideshow and white wash when evidence isn’t given prior to the hearings it sends a very clear message we are going through the motions but have no intentions of doing anything meaningful. Sickening and what does this clerk do all day?? Like I stated Plausable Denyability allows all sides to pretend we are liars, if they don’t read the transcripts they can continue to call us liars and that includes Lynch and her merryband of arseholes.

Mistakes can happen. :)
None were impressive especially Lynch. Oatmeal for all.

Everybody knows that the dice are loaded
Everybody rolls with their fingers crossed
Everybody knows that the war is over
Everybody knows the good guys lost
Everybody knows the fight was fixed
The poor stay poor, the rich get rich
That’s how it goes
Everybody knows
Leonard Cohen knew it before most Canadians.

It would seem, in this case that Ms. Miriam Burke, is proof that the Peter Principle exists.
