Human Rights Commission could be scared...

I have a sneaking suspicion that the BC Human Rights Commission may rule that the Steyn case does not merit any intervention on its part.

Here's why:

If I was in charge at the BC HRC I would be thinking that given the immense media attention, the fact the PMO is 'reviewing' the CHRC mandate, and given the fact that NDP MP Keith Martin has a private member's bill in the works to remove Section 13, and given that if the BCHRC rules against Steyn and Maclean's it could backfire on them if it goes to the Supreme Court, it might be in the longer term, advantageous to give MacLeans the benefit of the doubt on this one.

Just sayin...

You are using basic logic which is not part of the process in the HRC bureaucracy.

Any sensible person would never have accepted the case in the first place.

Now that they have accepted the case , I am still betting ( 80%) that they will rule against MacLeans.

Keith Martin is a Liberal, not a New Democrat.

I just want to see these things shut down, whether that means conceding defeat, or sticking it to McLeans and then going down the tube for doing so.......whatever........I wan't to see these things shut down period. After watching Ezra on Coren, I was amazed that the Canadian Jewish Lobby was instrumental in setting up this garbage. It would be nice to hear B'nai Brith or CJC make a statement supporting Steyn or Levant, or show disdain for the CHRC.

They are destructive (ruined peoples lives), they are an unnecessary bueracracy ($$$), and they have no been fishing for trouble( J <==>--< ).

Given all that has transpired with these rotten Human Rights Commissions, I think it is order to award the Order of Canada to both Ezra Levant and Mark Steyn.

They have done more for liberty than Jean Chretien and his opaque Act.

It would be gret for them to get the award, but it will never happen. The emperor has no clothes, but he has a long memory, and the Ottawa elites do not like to be exposed as frauds.
