Levant's Fight is Picked Up by a Politician


There is good news that Ezra Levant's energetic cross-country tour to promote his book Shakedown on the atrocities of the Human Rights Commissions is bearing fruit.

Levant writes at his website:
I'm delighted to see that Randy Hillier, a candidate for the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party of Ontario, has made the abolition of Ontario's human rights commission part of his campaign platform. Here's his statement on the subject -- I love his tagline: real justice, real judges. That gets to the heart of it pretty well. Ontario's HRC is run by a failed Toronto mayor, a Marxist crusader named Barbara Hall. She's no judge, and what she's meting out is not justice.
Levant was called to the Alberta Human Rights Commission for publishing the Mohammed cartoons in his Western Standard magazine. His case was rejected after three years and, according to Levant, about $100,000 of his own money. Conversely, Canadian taxpayers probably footed about $500,000 to pay for the Commission's bills.
