Human rights complaint against Maclean's dismissed

Good. In a democracy no tribunal or comission should be allowed to interfere in thought or free speech questions.

And sanity is (mostly) restored.

Only when section 13.1 is shitcanned will free speech survive.

You don't need Maclean's to expose Muslims to hatred and contempt.

You just have to look no further than 9/11.

The case is still being held by the BC-HRC.

These publications and people went through hell and huge financial costs and now they don't even get vindication of being found not guilty. These freedom hating assholes have would up this mickey mouse court and far too many people, all at the taxpayers expense and now they walk away without any repercussions.

I wonder if Macleans and Stein can sue them or if the HRC would magically loose all it's records.

Really, if you want to get down and dirty, the problem lays not with the Muslims but the HRC organizations. They are interfering in areas of society that they have no buisness meddling with. Case in point is the comedian being investigated for going head to head with dyke hecklers.

Had not the HRCs decided to interfere in matters outside of their jurisdiction, the entire Ezra Affair never would have amounted to a hill of beans because the real courts would have thrown this complaint out. Instead, a Pandora's Box has been opened where anybody who disagrees with something that is spoken or written can drag the author of the comments before a kangaroo court run by clowns.

The Muslims need not be silenced, it's the HRCs that need to be muzzled and relegated to their proper place in society..... adjudicating discrimination cases in the workplace.

Spot on. Even Alan Borovy recognizes that. He was interviewed on the CBC last Sunday. He said HRCs have to get back to what they were designed to do - deal with discrimination, not becomes arbiters of free speech.

The CHRC is the important one - it covers the telcos. Even if the clownish crew on the West Coast ban Macleans people out there will still be able to read the on-line version.



That was the point Levant made. It cost him 200 large to defend himself and then the putain just drops the case. This was Alberta. Levant is suing the bastard.

Nowt on the CHRC's website about the dismissal. Given that they are conducting a "a comprehensive policy review of how best to address hate messages on the Internet" perhaps telling the public that they have dropped such a high profile case would hvae been in order.

CHRC Review

Levant thinks the whole thing stinks. I agree

the only reason they were dismissed because they new Macleans and their top gun lawyers would drag their asses all they way to the supreme court.

So they'll stick to trying to fry little fish like Guy Earl the comedian, for putting hecklers in their place at his show.

The HRC needs still needs some serious overhauling Section 13 get rid of it, and ass firing

HRC's, Supreme Courts, Privacy Commissioners,
Integrity Commissioners, the CTRC, the Competition
Bureau...etc, etc, ad nauseum...what we have naively
developed is a sheep-like mentality of letting our
politicians turn over all meaningful decision-making
and arbitration powers to lawyers and bureaucrats.
This is not what our forefathers had in mind.
It is not what many of us want either. Problem is,
we can no longer vote for anyone who will stop this
madness and reverse this diseased process.
The western world is truly doomed.
