Original Article here Winnipeg Sun July 9, 2010 There is a baseball team in Ottawa called the Fat Cats. The team plays in the Intercounty League, very much in the “minors” but the players have dreams of the playing in the majors. In the elite ranks of the federal civil service, things are a little different. Here, bureaucrats like David Langtry play minor league parts in the lives of Canadians but spend major league dollars. You’ve probably never heard of Langtry, but he is likely the most high-flying bureaucrat we’ve got. Langtry lives in Manitoba but commutes to Ottawa. By plane. On your dime. |

NOTE: Giacomo "the vagina" Vigna cost the respondent lots of money and inconvenience by canceling the hearing at the last second. He also repeatedly FAILED to provide a medical note as he was required. Giacomo is such a fibbing vagina.... Original article here By BRYN WEESE. Parliamentary Bureau Last Updated: June 24, 2010 7:02pm OTTAWA - Free speech advocate Ezra Levant was in an Ottawa court Thursday for calling a human rights commission lawyer a fibber. The defamation suit argued Thursday, one of five currently underway, is the first to go to trial. In it, Human Rights Commission lawyer Giacomo Vigna alleges Levant damaged his character by calling him a fibber on Levant's blog in 2008 for Vigna's actions at a commission hearing a year earlier. At that hearing - unrelated to Levant - Vigna asked to adjourn the hearing early because he wasn't in a "serene state of mind" and couldn't continue. |

Original article here June 24, 2010 — xanthippa Ezra Levant is a colourful character – to say the least. He is the Canadian lawyer who became a household name as the guy who is willing to put his money where his mouth is when it comes to defending the most important and fundamental of all the human rights – the right to freedom of speech. Because of his responsible self-conduct as both a human being and a journalist (he was the editor of Western Standard), he had become the target of the Human Rights Commissions – both the Canadian federal version as well as its various provincial tentacles. It is difficult for most of us, reasoning human beings, to understand just how badly twisted things have become in our society, just how endangered our rights as human beings have truly become, until this Kafkaesque nightmare Mr. Levant found himself in brought it to our awareness. Once there, there was no going back. Even kids could figure it out! What is the best way to fight injustice? Expose it – so everyone can see it for what it is and judge for themselves. Most people are actually much smarter than the ‘Nanny State’ gives them credit for! What is the best way to take power away from a bully? |

The CFSL, represented by Douglas Christie, was an active participant during the Lemire hearing before the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal. Mr. Christie made some very good submission and was a tough cross-examiner of witnesses brought by the Canadian Human Rights Commission and the Attorney General of Canada.
The CFSL will bring a unique perspective to the Federal Court and their submissions on freedom of speech and abuse of the Canadian Human Rights Commission will be a great benefit to the Federal Court, who are now reviewing the constitutionality of Internet censorship in Canada (Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act). The Federal Court has been asked by the CHRC to judicially review the landmark decision of the Tribunal which exonerated Marc Lemire, and found Section 13 to be unconstitutional and a violation of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.

NOTE: What a better use for YOUR tax dollars than to use it to censor your right to speak. Kind of like Iran. This is just in the last quarter of 2009! It's 6 months into 2010 and the case hasn't even started yet!
http://blog.freedomsite.org/2010/06/chrc-spent-close-to-85000-to-uphold.html http://canadianhumanrightscommission.blogspot.com/2010/06/chrc-spent-close-to-85000-to-uphold.html Recent documents posted on the Canadian Human Rights Commission’s website show that they have spent close to $85,000 of tax-payers money to uphold their censorship franchise. The money went to a lawyer representing the CHRC in the Marc Lemire case. A lawyer aptly named Margot BLIGHT, who is a lawyer with Borden Lander Gervais LLP. |
