great interview. Kathy caught the gist of this injustice sytem.

Thanks Robert / Matt.

Whenever I complete a 20/20 online survey, I answer the question "What is the most important issue in Canada today?" with "The so-called Human Rights Commissions and tribunals that are contrary to basic human rights."

I havent watched the video yet...will watch it later.
I just wanted to thank Matt from Mississauga for providing the videos I sometimes miss from SunNews.
Thanks.

I want to nominate Mississauga Matt for an Order of Canada (assuming he'd want one). His tireless video work embiggens us all.

Won't watch it...can't stand Shaidle. We may share the same philosophical ground, but the woman is abrasive and obnoxious. I'll hold no truck with such a shrill harpy.

Kathy is so yummy!

Why has this been obscured for so long?

And so well behaved!

And, I'll bet she's hyper-yummy when she's either half-in-the-bag or furious or both.

Thanks a million for a look.

Colin had more he wanted to say, but his quill pen broke.

"someone who thinks for herself"

heh. "thinks" might be too strong of a word.

" "someone who thinks for herself" "

Heh. Posted by the Master Regurgitator of leftard received wisdom.

Majority is the time to neuter the Star Chambers.

Just cut off their funds.

Our military needs better funding, send the HRC's budget there . . . $200 million can buy a lot of bullets.

"thinks" might be too strong of a word."

Not only does she think for herself, she's out there taking heat - and getting sued - to preserve the freedom of speech that enables twerps such as alex to quip in his undergrad style.
Despite my admiration, though, she should refrain from commenting on music. (Great gal, horrible taste in music!)

The problem is that no one takes you seriously if you are too nice. Unless you are naturally charming, learning when it is appropriate to be mocking and sarcastic or when it is necessary to be obnoxious and bitchy is an essential part of being effective. It's kind of like "attack" ads, everyone complains about how terrible they are but they work because human nature secretly enjoys conflict (but people are too nice to admit it).

I hope Kathy Shaidle is now going to complain to the HRC that her feelings have been hurt, her self-esteem diminished and her kinder, gentler feminine psyche besmirched by the hateful speech posted here by Colin in Mission B.C.

And one more thing - isn't it GRRRRRREAT to have Sun News Network available now!!! You'd NEVER have a segment like this on ANY other Canadian network!

I'd also like to nominate Alex for Mississauga Matt's Official garden gnome/footstool (assuming Matt could stand to have him on the property). It's time he gave something back.

Ezra,I love ya, but for f***'s sake SHUT UP AND LET YOUR GUEST FINISH HER SENTENCES!

I wanted to hear more from Shaidle,the short,infuriated guest,but Ezra hardly let her speak!

We get to see Ezra every day,the guests rarely,so Ezra,ask your question then SHHHHHHHH-ut the hell up!!!!

The Canadian Human Rights Commissions and the Charter of Rights. Only two of the absurd "reforms" instituted by that elitist limousine liberal, silk-stockinged socialist, Pierre Trudeau.

I have to agree a tad with dmorris as Ezra could be a bit more the host and less a co-commentator. But it does seem that SunTV is the only one that continues this type of coverage.

On the other hand, Kathy is bloody great and she and her husband (BCF) have done a lot for Canada by questioning the need for the human rights lefty inquisition and documenting their abuses.

Their reward is getting sued by he whose name cannot be mentioned.

Mind you, there is not likely to be many Liberals or Green party advocates for another 8 years so perhaps this too will change.

I have to agree 100% with dmorris.

Dear Ezra - You've got an hour very weekday from now until they fire you to put forth YOUR thoughts (which you do superbly, I might add) ... so PLEEEEEASE STFU after you ask a question and let your guests answer FULLY!

Ezra, it would be GRRRREAT TV if you could - for example - provoke / inspire / induce Kathy Shaidle (or any other opninionated guest) into an on-air fury fit! THAT would become an instant Sun TV on-air promo for your program ... but Ez, ya gotta let 'em speak for longer that 4 seconds at a time!

MSM tells you to STFU.

More, Ezra, more.

"The Washington Post produces a bigoted editorial against the public right to know"

"From JunkScience.com"

"WashPost: Freedom of Information Act not for skeptics’ use
by Steve Milloy

In a bizarre Memorial Day editorial, the Washington Post criticized climate skeptics for using the Freedom of Information Act to pry documents concerning Climategater Michael Mann from the University of Virginia.

The Post labeled the skeptics’ FOIA efforts as “harrassing” and “nuisance tactics.”

The Post, however, has been entirely silent on Greenpeace’s efforts to FOIA documents from the University of Virginia concerning Pat Michaels, University of Delaware concerning David Legates and from Harvard University concerning Willie Soon and Sallie Baliunas — efforts that are truly “harrassing” and “nuisance” in nature as Greenpeace acted entirely in retaliation to the FOIA request concerning Mann.

The editorial is especially gross coming on the day when America commemorates those who died to preserve everyone’s freedoms — not just those of the politically correct."

Even better, send the CHRC to Afghanistan.

There, they could find a lot of people likely to offend. And I would like to see them mixing it up with such persons, as an educational project.

If any survived, they could slink back to Canada and apologize for their over-reaction to free speech.

I don't get the "Ezra, tone it down" thing. I didn't register a lot of interrupting when I watched the vid. Remember, it's a talk segment, not an exchange of pristine monologues; Ezra was not trying to shut Kathy up.

I didn't see a lot of interrupting as much as Ezra doing most of the talking and not enough of letting Kathy do her thing. He "led the witness" pretty badly, to the extent that it seemed like Kathy was stuck in the Sigourney Weaver role from Galaxy Quest.

I like and admire them both, there's just some technical being-on-TV skills that need to be honed here.

Obviously Kathy is too shy and reserved. She should speak up and not be afraid to interrupt Ezra and say what she thinks. /s

I have the privilege of being able to watch Fox News, but I wish I could stream Sun TV. There is a "watch live" link, but it seems not to work for me, maybe its my U.S. IP address.

Keep posting the video from Sun, seems lots of Canadians don't have access to this yet on their cable packages. I love to have access to sane thought!

Great video Robert and thanks for posting it, as I missed on Sun. I enjoyed Kathy tell us her views on the kangaroo courts when she could.

Great to see this sort of stuff and I hope it's starting to make the class of people who get their news from TV think about things differently than if they watch only the MSM.

Will be interesting to see if R****** W***** sues Sun TV for mentioning his launching most of the S13 complaints. In fact, I'd love to see a suit like this as it would show him up as an absolute moron as what Ezra did was make a simple factual statement.

It will be refreshing to be in a situation again in this country when truth is again an absolute defense.

And now, the CPC Is about to make things worse, courtesy of C51, the omnibus crime bill.


"Clause 5 of the bill provides that the offences of public incitement of hatred and wilful promotion of hatred may be committed by any means of communication and include making hate material available, by creating a hyperlink that directs web surfers to a website where hate material is posted, for example. "

Why is there so little discussion of the huge potential for misuse of that bit of our crime bill.

Sadly yes, Ezra needs to take a breath or a Valium and let the guest speak. I realize he has a lot to say but gosh, slow it down a bit for your words to sink in. Hopefully, more time in front of the camera will help.

vid was loading too slowly, so I passed, and as I agree with colin (kathy reminds me of the pet rat I used to have) about kathy, maybe someone can post the "coles" notes on this one:-))))

Ezra, stop interrupting your guests.
Let them finish their sentences.

Well, for the record, I like Ezra—a lot.

Yes, he talks fast and a lot, but he makes sense and says really important things that need to be said. Ezra’s walked the walk. I respect him.

Does Kathy ride a motorbike?

Recent procurement prompts the question, if you must know.

Ezra adopting some 'gravitas' would be welcome on SUN.

Perhaps some folks here are familiar with the name Heather McNaughton formerly of the BCHRT. She has now
beenappointed a master of the BC Supreme Court by the powers that be in the BC government. How nice.

As an aside I figure Sun news ought to put up more free streaming. It would gain more viewers in the long run. TV is becoming redundant as a medium on its own.
JMO

@CanuckInMI -- correct, you can't currently stream Sun News live from the US. You shouldn't have any problems watching clips from their site, though I agree that's not as good.

@GYM how did it feel having a pet rat considerably smarter and more interesting than you?

@Daniel Ream Yeah, I like Ezra a lot too, but he really needs to pick up some technical on-air skills now that he is a host and let guests finish their sentences, even when he agrees with them.

Constructive criticism!

-Ezra is talking over the guest, and generally talking too much in the segment. Like, WAY too much. Somebody somewhere has probably figured out the correct ratio of guest-to-host down to the millisecond, Ezra needs coaching on following that ratio.

TV presentation has a style sheet, it detracts from the show when the style sheet doesn't get followed. Quite a bit actually, I'm surprised. Ezra is saying things which are good, just far too much of him talking for the segment.

-Kathy is assuming the audience knows what a "professional victim" is, that could have been better explained. Would have been, had she been able to TALK more.

Other than that, it is AWESOME seeing people talk on TV about the subjects we've all been screaming about these many years on-line.

-Kathy has the best lines EVER at about 5:20, "When victims collide", and "you need your decoder ring to figure out who is this week's special government pet." Its like a blast of straight oxygen to a man slowly smothering.

Now for all you Shaidle-haters, Kathy Shaidle is this little short broad from Hamilton, she's got some attitude on her, and she's out there taking the slings and arrows from the Left so y'all don't have to. She's a godd@mn political kung fu fighter and social samurai for -our- side of the Culture Cold War.

You know how people always moan we need a Rush Limbaugh up here in CanDumbistan? You're looking at her. Stephen Harper owes some of his majority to her busting of Liberal heads and her pointing and laughing at their insanity these last fifteen years.

Your proper response to somebody putting their own personal ass AND MONEY on the line for you is "thank you!"

I'll take one of Kathy Shaidle backing me up over a platoon of most other people I've met personally or professionally. Kathy and Kate McMillan are worth a regiment. Of artillery.

'Nuff said.

Kathy is a great guest and I look forward to seeing more of her on Sun!

I owe her for introducing me to Adam Carolla's radio shows.. pure gold that stuff.

I will, Not Patricia/jess, because I know that she would fight for my right to call you a clueless, sanctimonious little totalitarian storm trooper who's almost certainly never read a real book or contemplated a real idea in her life, is regarded as The Most Boring Woman I've Ever Met by anyone who's ever met her, and couldn't think her way out of a plastic bag (p.s. - slip one over your head and give it a try).

(p.p.s. - how do you do something "in the past right now!"?)

"Kathy is so yummy!

Why has this been obscured for so long?"

Oui, c'est vrai.

Elle est mignonne!

"A minority in a wheelchair has a royal flush". That's hilarious. I remember when the original "Death Race" movie came out in the 70s, and the contestants were awarded points for different hit and run victims. If I remember correctly, A minority in a wheelchair was worth quite a few points. We certainly had a different view of what the future held in store, back in those days.

Wow Black Mamba, quite the critique of not patricia (not too smart either).

I hope that I never tick you off, I'm a big fella but after that smack down, I'd consider wearing a dress!

multirec - thank you :-) Every time someone makes a troll cry, an angel gets its wings.

I'm almost sure NP is jess. jess has compared Guantanamo Bay to a Nazi concentration camp. I don't like jess. Plus I'm just so sick of these idiots who want to ban free speech. What is it that they don't get?
