The Alberta Human Rights Commission took only 900 days to grant their approval of a magazine publisher’s choice of news content;
“Look at his rationale for acquitting me: because the Western Standard met Gundara’s home-made tests of reasonableness. We published the cartoons in “context”; we published letters that “criticized” them; and my favourite, the cartoons weren’t “simply stuck in the middle” of the magazine. Gundara must have thought for ten whole minutes to come up with that list of journalistic do’s and don’t’s. And – phew! – he likes me. He really likes me!
Sorry again, I don’t give a damn if he likes me. In fact, it rather creeps me out that a whole squad of teat-sucking bureaucrats spent 900 days inspecting me and the Western Standard. I positively want to offend them. In fact, that’s pretty much the only test of my freedom: can I do exactly what Gundara says I shouldn’t? I’m not interested in publishing recipes or sports scores. I’m interested in bothering the hell out of government.”

It might interest you to know that 100% of those charged under section 13 of the CHRC mandate are white.
Nearly the entire HRCs are staffed with women and minorities.
Go figure.
“When will PMSH act?”
Penny,
Harper is acting. He is acting like a Liberal.
I forgot a word.
It might interest you to know that 100% of those charged under section 13 of the CHRC mandate are white MEN!
Bravo Kate!! I absolutely love the editors note, although we may need to be hitting those Paypal buttons again soon…or maybe not. The crybabies have gotten a good public spanking so maybe they’ll SHUDDUP for a while.
To Rose; you were wondering about the ‘no names’ dragged before the HRC across the country. Actually these are public entities and their case files are open for review. At least what they have published. You will notice an indordinate number of Nazi types were getting drawn up before the commissions. Actually most of the accused did not show up. Gotta hand it to them for their principles. This has been going on for years where the public dredges were the first targetted and then the HRC moved closer to mainstream as they were emboldened by the collective silence. A bit of irony that the Neo Nazi were tagged with the tactics used by their National Socialist forefathers. Not that that excuses the activity of the HRC in one whit.
Last week, I had to decline ANOTHER telephone request from the CPC for donations…and explain AGAIN why. I wonder how many others have cut off funding due to the HRC issue? When will the CPC get a clue? When will PMSH act?
They won’t get another cent from me until I hear the PM or Justice Minister speak in no uncertain terms against the egregious actions of the HRC.

I went one step further and told the lady that I might even campaign against them if they kept ignoring this mess of the HRCs.
She responed with an, Oh!!!!
I told them the same and that I would even be a $1000 donator, seeing it would only really cost me 250, if only the CPC would start leading on this. They haven’t called back since end of May.
Kate, loved the editor’s note. Glad you are back.
Anyone know a tattoist who’d do Moh doing a pig.
Just curious….
Just seeing one the these self-righteous swine defending their arrogant behaviour produces a feeling that borders on rage. There was a recent program on TV that showed the head of the Alberta HRC on a panel with Ezra, Steyn and one other fellow. Disgusting little weasel of a beaurocrat.
“There is nothing in the world more dangerous than a stupid man with ambition.”
Pat
This evil machine has got to go, no if an’s or buts.
And then , because there was no one left, they came for me.
Fire. Them. ALL!

Eeyore, I got a similar call from the local CPC fundraiser, and made a similar response. The caller (male) at least had the honesty to say that mine was not the first such response he’d had, and that the CPC was in fact getting the message. So I’m holding out some hope that this is sinking in to the Conservative gray matter.
And if it comes to an election, well yes, I will support them, because the alternatives are unthinkable.

PS – I am not racist towards people but I sure as hell am prejudiced against attitudes!
the conservatives or mr harper will do nothing about hrcs. they are basically liberals and do not really think there is anything wrong with telling you what you can or cannot say. i withdrew any support for them years ago.
Frenchie77, clever and funny–at least I thought so. Thanks for the morning smile!
C’mon, can’t you just imagine the deluge of condemnations if Harper were to shut down anything with Human Rights in it’s moniker? All of the media would be in a state of rancor the likes of which we’ve never seen.
They should be shut down, they don’t belong in a democratic society. When the time is right, they will be. It’s up to the electorate to create the right time. Same goes for CBC Pravda.
So, Kate, has the HRC been knocking at your door yet?
It’s up to the electorate to create the right time. Same goes for CBC Pravda.
Send a letter to the editor or make a chrc hating
blog.
since I’m what kinsella would call a hater, etc I’d just like to say this hater thinks Ezra rocks,
How many doctors could we have hired for what the CHRC wasted.
PS Fire them all.
Well, the CPC got somewhat back in my good books when they declared a parliamentary inquiry into the CHRC. But that was what, months ago? Right now they are on probabation as far as my voting intentions. As far as donating? LOL. Not a chance. With no action for months on the tribunal file, and the bribe money they are giving to Bombardier, they need to clean up their act first.
LizJ -“C’mon, can’t you just imagine the deluge of condemnations if Harper were to shut down anything with Human Rights in it’s moniker? All of the media would be in a state of rancor the likes of which we’ve never seen.”
It’s long past the time for MSM to condemn the HRC’s and how the HRC’s embody bureaucratic state enabled corruption in Canada.
For if MSM cannot fathom the corrupt operational procedures taking place in Canadian HRC’s then the MSM is just simply corrupt in their very essence as the presently constituted HRC’s – Federal AND Provincial!
This is a fight for the soul of this country and is not a left or right ideology issue.
Wake up Corporate MSM and, particularly for that matter, Stephen Harper!!
Add my name to the list of commenters who have turned down CPC calls for donations due to the HRC mess.
I also emailed Rob Nicholson and got a reply saying that the HRC’s are arms length organizations over which the government has no control.
That may be so, but the government could pass a law stating that any complainant to the HRC’s must pay the defendent’s legal costs if unsuccessful.
I think the number of complaints would fall off dramatically.
Oh, and for those that say the CPC’s are in minority so they would never get that law through parliament, just make it a confidence motion and chicken s**t Dion would be sure to support it.
“They should be shut down, they don’t belong in a democratic society.”
Liz J, That’s exactly the tactic the government should take to shut them down. These kangaroo courts violate democracy – due process, rules of evidence, anything resembling speedy trials, presumption of innocence, well, we all know that list.
Their dismantling, or at least abolition of the hate crime provisions, can easily be framed as a positive move and would be a no-brainer to defend. Why they haven’t so is more than troubling.
Although “fire them all” and “shut them down” have a satisfying ring, it’s not likely to happen now or anytime.
I’ll settle for the inevitable major overhaul of the legislation. After all there’s nothing so delightfully pathetic as a liberal without power.
Kathryn, I agree with you. The general absence of action on the part of the CPC re this crucial issue is most disturbing.
PMSH is a master strategist: I truly believe he could pitch this issue in a most positive light—if he wanted to.
There was a time when I supported the silence of the PM, while law abiding citizens were being manhandled by the state—on his watch. That time is now past. An analogy: PMSH stands by, lifebuoy in hand, and watches someone drown. Not on in my book.
And I’ve been a real Stephen Harper fan and cheerleader for years, and voted for him in the leadership race because I discerned that he was a man of principle. His silence now has totally undermined the confidence in his integrity I used to have. Saying this makes me feel very sad, but I can’t avoid that conclusion.
The countless, asking-for-$$ letters I get, as a card carrying Conservative, go unopened—and will continue to until I can trust this group of politicians to do the right thing. E.g., On the Israel file, PMSH has done so over and over again—hoping for new votes from the Jewish community. Meanwhile, he seems willing to play Russian Roulette with the loyal voters who put him in power, in the first place. Not a good idea and, more to the point, not a JUST idea, either.
With due respect, sir, smarten up.
P.S. I’ll still VOTE Conservative because the alternative is too awful to contemplate. But my bucks now go to Ezra and Kate.

dinaosaur, i am a prolific writer to those in charge inspite of my normally brief comments. guess what? no matter how much time you spend in composition and how good you are you are pissing in the wind.
“I have also withheld funding to the CPC. I just can’t figure out who will get my support now.”
That’s easy. The Liberals will get it, just as “principled” Republicans who refuse to vote for McCain are effectively voting for Obama.
I feel the same anger towards Harper and the CPC over this that you do. But do you honestly think handing the country back to the Liberals is going to move us in the right direction?
This is the issue of our times
The HRC’s and their lib/socialist supporters are actively protecting the evil Sharia creep and muslim terrorism into our country by extinguishing our greatest freedom; that of thought and speech.
A trifling bit for us all to pay to have career bureaucrats staking their claims and building their kingdoms. (hello Barb Ban Barenaked Ladies Hall)
The MSM won’t touch this issue until the liberal party of Canada gives them the script that they will dutifully read aloud to us verbatim.
The MSM will degrade the issue into a “gothca” moment against all conservatives.
That’s what they do.
(remember Bob-Knuck-Knuck-Knuckledragger-Fife)
Harper won’t touch it because the script will then be written.
As soon as Harper says he’s for it or against it, or that he will deal with it in any way, the libs will line up on the other side and the marching orders will be dictated by the likes of Iggy and Boob Rae to the MSM.
Carbon Shaft isn’t working out like Dion wanted, so the HRC’s will be the issue that the socialists like IGGY (Hawvaad Human Rights Professor), and Boob Rae (Rhodes scholar socialist) will go to WAR over.
Burn it down; the HRC’s are totalitarian; and wielded by the likes of Barb Hall and useful idiots like Pardeep Gunduret it is directly stepping into the tracks laid down before us by Nazi’s 70 years ago.
I’m hoping Harper makes it an election issue, and comes directly at them both guns blazing it is not an issue that the typical Joe Canuck can not easily understand.
Harper should take this opportunity to define this issue before CTV BellGlobe Media, the CBC and the rest of the Toronto socialists further do.
He could tie it to the massive gubmint overspending and crippling taxes that remove our freedoms and waste our money. This issue could drive a stake through the heart of the PC cloistered UN libtard crooks that think they can push us further into the Trudopian socialist gulag.
Far be it for me to tell someone where to send their donations that were intended for the CPC, but if you believe in your freedoms – one being freedom of speech, why not donate to that cause.
It doesn’t make sense to me to vote NDP or Liberal if you are worried about your freedoms.
You go girl. Freedom – Freedom – Freedom. This is the message the Kate has the balls to proclaim. Stand by her, support her, protect her!
I miss guys like Chretien who were in it just for the fun of it.
Prophet Mohamad Peace be upon him
is not going to damage over you nickle head
are talking bad about him
who ever love GOD and bleive god
they must like Prophet Mohamad
plus bad publicty you made it and good publicity
taht Muslim and majority of people made
for prophet Mohamd it caused
more fame to prophet moahamd
none of thos cartoon has meaning and never this are defame Muslim
Islam is now every body today main
media buzz topic
becase they get more interested about Islam
while you can not jduge Isalm only for any number people are bad as negative
but majority of Muslim are good people
and found more trustable people hired
in very good and high job recently
the picture of cartoon called ” Mohamad”
is more to me picture of
Russian soludre wear big russian animal
made big hat
and mostash and beard is more like the style of
east Europe
why I say it NO body ever draw picture of
prophet mohamad
most people who saw him discribe him
as similar face like his cousin
ALI and as I look at picture of “ALI ”
I now noticed the eybrow is not too hairy
adn face is not fat puffy face in chick
and shape isnot like muslim shape figure
this ismore like one Jewish man russian wear
a big hat to blow it up to some group
but the hate did not show any thing blow up
becuase two word Allah and Mohamad written
in arabic in hat of the man saved him to
and majic this never did blow up but those names save the jewish guy and bring to Islam
as we did heard Canada Jewish congress recently become Muslim
The picture is not Muslim picuter more look
like Jewish picture to me
even bad puitlicty of you made Muslim are more famous it did not work sorry we won you lost
sorry Mr. Ezra illegal discrimination that is by your law not with Islam law then change yourslef
I met few jewish men in Canada in University
they eat alot and they were overweight so fat and so bad dress and so bad look never comb the hair with big nose look like Ezra Levant but talk kindly to me and they were extemly smart but talk with calm way Ezra talk more nevervous hyper way .
WHen I tried to know them well during few years while my first impression they do not look smart look more nurd to me but thier woamn Jewish are more look like Canadain white kind of group close to that kind woman culture but Jewish man are not change they do not act like Candian white kind of group you know with their behivour they are Jewish and pt thier big nose in Muslim shoes. Jewish has specail culture
for my own reason if I want to go to hospital I donot trust Jewish doctore to check me I donot trust their view may say with hate not real opinon after Ezra published that picture
since case of Ezra is almost finishe
Muslim get more famous we forgive him do not repeat again please
every body said prophet mohamd has nice face
short and skiny man this picture eat so much meat more east European face to me
prophet Mohamad was not ugly look like Jewish
Ezra Levant we can not expec too much from jewish
and chrisitna Jewish are two times ignorant
and chrisitian are one time ignoring
prophet of god because Jewish even deny jesus too
I do not know why chrisitan like Jewih more than Muslim while Mulsim are closer and agre with their prophet Jeses is accetable by Muslim
As a person who has once seen a Qur’an for a few seconds in a book store and briefly pondered opening it, I am deeply offended, Kate.
Well done.
Islam and Muslim even didnot put real picture
of Prophet mohamd with real purpose
but it said he was similar than Hazra ALi
whos Ali ( ra) was his cousin
again this is not exact face of Ali (ra) too but similar they said
similar photo of hazrat Ali( ra) but not exactly
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imam_%27Ali
THe photo of Imam Ali(r.a) or Hazrat Ali( ra)
it said similar to photo of Prophet mohamad
but purposly prophet Mohamad did not
like her picture become symbol
like other prophet as used
for his image but also his mission and his word
of Quran was imported
but who ever saw him said he has like beautiful face like light

The Sayings of Hadrat Ali
words of Imam Ali Some of these are:
Fear God and you will have no cause to fear anyone.
Resignation to the Will of God is the cure for the disease of the heart.
The Word of God is the medicine of the heart.
Lead such a life that when you die people will mourn you, and while you are alive they long for your company.
The days of your life pass away like clouds, so do good while you are alive.
Of all follies, the greatest is to love the world.
Opportunity is swift of flight, but slow to return.
The most happy is he to whom God has given a good wife.
He who knows himself knows God.
Do not sell your conscience for anything but heaven.
The disease of the heart is worse than the disease of the body.
To fight against one’s desires is the greatest of all fights.
The strongest among you is he who subdues himself.
mohamad-had-nice-face?
was that as described by his nine year old wife as the old boy jumped her?
New name to skip over; Hi.
How would you know he had a nice face , unless you looked at picture of the reprobate and admired his physical flesh, wouldn’t that make you an apostate.
What’s Moe say the punishment for apostates is again?
Roger wonders why Christians like Jews more than muslims.
Let me think… Could it have something to do with the fact that not many Jews have been murdering us lately?
because you give the Jews to go and kill us Muslim lately
but do not foreget history may repeat
west give this big weapon in handof too many people in past and then this weapne back to your face liek Ben Ladne or Sadma was firs give them weapon by west to go and kill Muslim neighbor
wen all thing went wrong and you order them
they did not stop
now you order jewihs to stop and give their land back and they arenot obey orderof west any more these jewish becarfull do not give weapne inhand of any one
plus you are ridiculs you start the fire
don’t you remember that?
west in 9/11 blow their own buiding by weapen you giv to hand of west soldure andthis weapn back to you this time
therefore be fair when you are talk history and facts
