Ezra Levant has the details:

If I’m reading this order correctly, March 25th may become known as Black Tuesday at the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

That’s when Marc Lemire — one of the few Canadians who has had the energy and legal resources to fight back against the CHRC’s Section 13 thought crimes steamroller — will be allowed to cross examine commission staff about their “undercover” activities on the internet. Judging by what Lemire has uncovered so far — such as an Edmonton Police “hate crimes” officer posting anti-Semitic and anti-Aboriginal bigotry on the Internet — it’s sure to be a blockbuster.

(It’s deeply disturbing that “hate crimes” police — I’m not talking about human rights keystone cops now, but real police officers — publish such bigotry on the taxpayers’ dime, and all in the name of keeping the peace. One must ask: at what point is the “fake” hatred generated by the police a larger problem than the “real” hatred that exists already on society’s fringes? And, really, is there any moral difference between the two, other than the police claim they don’t really mean it? At what point does the cure become worse than the disease?)

Remember that these are the same “anti-hate” activists — police, human rights activists, and even CSIS agents — who paid a government agent to set up the Heritage Front, arguably Canada’s leading neo-Nazi movement twenty years ago. The fact that these same government agents then “infiltrated” the nascent Reform Party, to the great embarrassment of Preston Manning, shows that these “anti-hate” campaigns have long been torqued into a partisan political weapon.

I’m not any particular fan of Mr. Lemire, or of any other white supremacist the reader might care to name. But the evidence he has collected of government collusion and entrapment, both by members of various Canadian authorities and by members of various Canadian human rights commissions (especially the CHRC, notably staffer Dean Steacy), is both convincing and alarming.

One can only hope that it makes for the undoing of the HRCs in Canada. While on one hand it is a shame that there are white supremacists and racists in the world, I would not for one instant prefer that such people be forced to remain silent; better they speak their filth that its evil might wither in the light of day.

Perhaps it is bitter irony, then, that an avowed white supremacist be the one to deal a major blow to the Canadian government’s agency of censorship.
