The Canadian Landowner Alliance advocates for provincial legislation that recognizes property rights, and, that the Federal Government of Canada enshrines property rights in the Charter of Rights and freedoms.
"The comments of the late Eddie Greenspan QC about the embarrassment he felt about three Odgoode Hall Lawyers who took Mark Steyn and MacLeans to the HRCs and through the courts would, except for some minor changes of time and circumstance, fit the simpering sheep in the Nova Scotia Law Society like a glove:
"...I've never before been embarrassed by a fellow Osgoode Hall Law School graduate until now.
My fellow alumni are the three complainants behind the B.C. Human Rights Tribunal complaint against Maclean's magazine for publishing supposedly "Islamophobic" articles, including columns by Mark Steyn. It is embarrassing that these complainants graduated from Osgoode Hall when it is apparent that their education seems to have lacked any lessons in the true meaning of civil liberty.
What the complainants, including the Canadian Islamic Congress (CIC), have done is to issue nothing less than an administrative fatwa against Maclean's and Steyn, and they are seeking to have the human rights tribunal enforce this fatwa in the form of a judgment from the tribunal. Just as Ayatollah Khomeini once called for Salman Rushdie's head, they are now calling for control of Maclean's presses and won't stop until they have it.
I'm no fan of Steyn's, having personally experienced false vitriol from him. But I cannot comprehend that the complainants are soon to be lawyers in our democratic society and yet are seeking to force a publisher to print a lengthy response from these complainants. For good measure, if they get their way, the complainants also insist on control over the cover of that issue of the magazine."
Thank you Justice Jamie Campbell. Refreshing to see a gang of Liberal bullies take a licking like that.
