A Voice for Freedom

Remember the Danish cartoons of Muhammad that caused such a big hoo-hah two years ago? Well, Ezra Levant, co-founder of Western Standard, has been ordered to submit to an "investigation" by the Alberta Human Rights Commission for republishing the cartoons in February of 2006. The commission could order a full hearing if it decides one is warranted. But until that decision is made, the commission itself remains a obscure bureaucratic body which spuriously claims the legal and moral right to prosecute and punish Canadian citizens, without regard for due process, for actions which are protected under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and the UN Declaration of Human Rights.

I must admit to having no idea that Alberta had created this type of thought police organization, and that's the most terrifying thing of all - they're not only the thought police, they're the secret police as well. Mark my words, in fifty years, these people are going to be able to grab you off the street and haul you into a reeducation facility when they pick up anti-diversity brainwaves.

Luckily, people like Levant are willing to stand up to the egregiously badly-named "Human Rights Commission" and other such cryptofascists. Here's the video of his opening statement; I envy his chutzpah and, I must admit, the ability of the Commission investigator to keep from getting the slightest bit angry when confronted with such cutting arguments.
