  1. Nor were we told how as to how this decision was arrived. We were told by the Attorney General that it depends on who says the truthful statement and that if one person says it, it is Ok, but if another says it, it is not OK. Are Steyn and MacLeans OK people ?
    I do not engage in hyperbole in making the following claim: this is straight out of Franz Kafka, specifically, The Trial..
    Way way back I read nearly all Kafka’s ouevre. More than anything it helped me understand the machinations of my masters at the securities commission and government bureaucracy in general.

  2. Suckered? Probably not. Solicited? Probably. This seems a typical case of one hand washing the other. The big cheeses of the muslim organizations get to be even bigger cheeses, the CHRC gets some much needed new cases and avoids a budget cut.
    This is the fundamental reason why too much government is a bad thing. You get all these little factotums out there trying to justify their departmental existence, and they do it by making trouble where there is none.

  3. “Dismissal of Maclean’s case wrong: Elmasry”

    “Prof. Elmasry writes that ‘the state should act to empower those who are disadvantaged by hate speech, and that may mean lowering the voices of some in order that others may be heard.’ ”
    Like hearing the ones who get a free pass advocating the killing of Jews over the age of 18 on public television?

  4. Solicited? Probably — Page 1 notes that the Muslim community is concerned that their complaints of Islamophobia would be viewed by the CHRC as not meeting the “threshold of hate”
    Was the Canadian Muslim community suckered by the CHRC?
    Absolutely

  5. Oh as we see think CHRC is care about Muslim

    Sarh Palin to order women and men in Midle eastg that bitccc we are supporter of Mr. Malik in CBC

  6. Sounds to me more like the CHRC was trying to assist the Muslims as much as possible.
    the CHRC is willing to provide representatives for the CAF consulting organization with respect to filings of these hate crimes”
    They thought, with the right coaching, this complaint would sail through.

  7. the CHRC lawyer, Margot Blight, […] the CHRC from their expert witness, Dr, Karen Mock.
    Mock and Blight. How appropriate.

  8. As soon as some thing in middle east go up
    soon Muslim said all problmes is today is
    Christian Protestan and espcialy Catholic women behind the scene
    and christian will say all problme is Muslim from 1300 past

    people keep blameing the blame is lack of leader to guid the law and rules there every where

  9. Gotta disagree, Orlin. The Muslim “community”, meaning Canadians who are Muslims, have been affected not one tiny bit by any of this HRC nonsense. Most of them probably don’t even know about it. Additionally there is no more anti-Muslim sentiment in Canada now than there was before this freak show got started. There are no (zero) instances of Muslims being victimized, beat up or stolen from due to white people hating them. Its a wash.
    Did Muslim “community leaders” get suckered? Meaning guys who make money being agitators and lobbyists for a variety of “Muslim” organizations, which may or may not be non-profits or whatever? No, they got an opportunity to take a free shot at whoever took their fancy. Which they did.
    Elmasry isn’t happy he didn’t get his pound of flesh, but he’s still out zero dollars for his trouble. He got his free shot as promised, he just picked the wrong target.
    Pre-Internet he would have been just fine, its just that the HRCs are living in the past and were not prepared for the instant communication age. Flash crowds change everything.
    Did Canadians get suckered waaaay back by the Liberals when they set up all this section 13 crap? Oh for sure!

  10. andycanuck :
    Yup & the head of Eds department concerning these inquisitions is a Karen Black. If you check Ezra’s site even more weird ones come up. If you submitted this story to Hollywood they would accuse you of lying or bad writing. This whole subject is so bizarre, even the names of the accusers, you just have to think its God’s sense of humor. The synchronicity is just too blatant: By the foolish things of the world I will confound the wise”.
    This whole nightmare looks, & has production credits of a cheap horror flick. Even the names are stock black & white hat.
    To bad the pain inflicted by these bodies was just as foolish.

  11. Very telling to see the CHRC actually went to the Muslims begging they file a complaint. When they finally did the CHRC throws it out. Harvey Goldberg of the CHRC was drumming up business. No question about it.
    Curious that the CHRC investigator Sandy Kozak (ex-cop who was fired for dating criminals for police dept was investigating) actually accepted the complaint and wanted it to go to a Tribunal hearing, thus costing Macleans tens of thousands of dollars.
    Then when the complaint hit the political level (Political appointees like CHRC head Jeniffer Lynch) the CHRC dropped the complaint like a hot potatoe.
    It was a pure political decision to drop the Macleans complaint. Nothing to do with the idea that the CHRC throws out complaints that are without merits.
    It is also telling that Mark Lemire got out of many things BEFORE he ever got word of the complaints. Could it actually be that Kozak was talking to him behind the scenes and warning him of what was coming. Like the complaint against his message board, that was removed between the time the complaint was filed and before he was officially notified. Gee ya, just a fluke eh?
    It might just be conspiracy theory, but Lemire dogged many of Warman’s bullets by removing material before he got “official notice” of it.
    In March of 2004, on Lemire’s website, he thanked Kozak without ever saying why he was thanking her. Perhaps now we know, thanks to Ezra Levant. Kozak knew Lemire outside of the CHRC process and she was warning him of what was happening inside the CHRC and he took action before the complaint was actually filed. Kozak sat on the Section 13 (Anti-Hate) team and therefore had access to every hate complaint ever filed with the CHRC.
    I still say: FIRE. THEM. ALL.
