Quebec's outspoken and litigious Anglo-rights crusader, and the English community's so-called knight in shining armour, seems to have been knocked off his trusty white charger by a mere legal technicality.

Almost 15 years after violently assaulting pedestrian Wayne Johnson in a local road-rage incident on December 21, 1996, Montreal lawyer and former Alliance Quebec president, Brent Tyler was finally disbarred by the Quebec Bar Association.

Ironically, Tyler's disbarment stems NOT from his resulting 1997 criminal conviction for assault, but rather from a recent and minor procedural issue of not completing required legal refresher training.

Nevertheless, it would be somewhat surprising if Mr. Tyler's 1996 assault victim doesn't derive some measure of "schadenfreude" at this latest bit of news about his former adversary. For all we know, Mr. Johnson might even feel a well-deserved, final sense of closure about the entire matter.

In the meantime, however, it looks as if Montreal and it's surrounding English and ethnic population will just have to find themselves a new and unblemished champion to fight their ongoing legal battles against those unjust and discriminating Quebec language laws.
