Mr. Lavant,
I find your comments interesting and insightful. Though I don't necessarily agree with all of your insights I appreciate that someone like yourself is at least watchful of the efforts of the human rights industry.
I would like to know if you feel there is a place in a democratic society for such an institution as the CHRC or CHRT? What to you is the most effective way of policing the spread of hatred without trampling the right to free expression?

Has Kinsella read el masry's recent defense of the butcher mugabe?
I expect very little from this chretien era has been.
he and warman are making themselves look ridiculous. They are also abusing the court system.
Perhaps the Law society of Upper canada should look into that.

Ezra,
I'm an American who recently discovered your story and, even though I'm not politically active, I was moved to write about it this Independence Day: http://dungeon-games.com/blog/?p=98
I don't have much money to spare myself, though I intend to set aside a few dollars the next time I can. But I'm outraged enough at these attemtps at "maximum disruption" that I decided to set up ads on my blog and donate the money I got to you. Sort of a "poor-man's-donation to Ezra Levant" deal.
Unfortunately, I discovered that these ad services forbid me to encourage people to click on them in any way, so I couldn't actually promote it. Fair enough, I can see why they would have that condition. But my own readership is far too small to generate any real money without promoting it.
But then it occured to me: why don't YOU set up ads on your own site? Your readership is large enough that it could bring in real money, and I'm sure your commenters will encourage clicking even if you can't.

Never mind my suggestion. I've always noticed the big donation button in the sidebar, but somehow I completely missed the "Ads by Google" section until about 2 bloody seconds after I hit the Publish button. A true Homer Simpson moment for me.
I stand by the show of support, though, so please feel free to publish the comment anyway, idiocy and all.

....and here I thought that Kinsella liked you (or at least that's what I read on his blog a while back). It seems like he can defame others 'till the cows come home, but when he is criticized, watch out for the SLAPP lawsuit.
Why the CJC would trust Kinsella, who is the best buddy of Warman - who associates with anti-Israel lefties, is beyond me.
Best of luck Ezra, in your fight against these two censors.

I encourage all the readers of your blog to make a donation to your legal defence fund---apart from Mark Steyn and a couple of others, you're the only high-profile Canadian who has the anatomical parts to take on the "human rights" bullies without being intimidated. I love it when you said to the prospect that soft jihad has come to North America: "not on my watch." Indeed. Nor on mine either. Keep up the good good fight, Ezra, and we'll support you all the way.

Ezra
I have been following this HRC saga on your website and others for two months. I sometimes find it hard to believe what I am reading but regretfully I must believe it as the facts are on your side.
The only way to describe this business is "Kafkaesque" and I am sure that you have read Franz Kafka's famous novel, THE TRIAL, as the experiences of the protagonist in it mirror the experiences of you and others caught up in this thing.
Clearly, however, you are making some headway and are viewed as a serious threat to the HRC apparatchniks and their fellow travellers, as all these lawsuits demonstrate.
I have contemplated helping you out financially but I am absolutely skint and actually rather in large debt myself.
However, this latest move by Kinsella is, as far as I am concerned, the last straw. Therefore I am going to send a modest sum to your lawyer in Toronto. I only wish it could be more but, in the near future, however, I hope to be in better funds and will contribute again.
I have already informed my Tory MP that although I will vote for him in a future election I will not contribute any funds to the party but will put them at your disposal.
I close by saying that this HRC scandal is not only an outrage but an affront to all clear-thinking Canadians, whatever their political or social viewpoints, and it must be stopped.

So it seems the "lawyers for Richard Warman" couldnt serve you at your parents house and still cannot find you, so they have asked your lawyer.
Oh my gosh are you on the lamb, going incognito...are you really that difficult to find? Do you you dress up as Marcia Macmillan to get into the CTV studios and then do the reveal before the camera rolls?
Sorry, I know this is serious stuff but I just find the fact that they cannot locate you to be really funny...it can't be that hard.

Kinsella's blog tells the whole story down in the left column where it says "TRUDEAU." Read that bunk for a good laugh.
The guy was star-struck at 22 by the fact Trudeau said hello to him. I mean, it seems the guy is in love with Trudeau; who left the biggest nanny-state and feminist-inspired country on the face of the planet in his wake. I mean; we're not exactly talking about the most manly of characteristics here people.
Kinderella is probably still waiting for his glass slipper back, but the pumpkin rotted a long time ago on the vine.
His very wide-eyed-childish send up of Trudeau reads to me as bordering on homo-erotic lust. Clue for you buddy. I don't know who the "us" and "we" you're speaking for is; and it's fittingly quite the pompous over-stretch for such a "so-called" War-Man; but speak for yourself for once will ya.

Every lawsuit that Warren Kinsella and Richard Warman files against people who criticize Canada's HRCs and Section 13 of the CHRA further demonstrates their systematic use of SLAPP suits to try to silence those expressing political opinions they (Warman and Kinsella) disagree with.
They already have enough rope to hang themselves and they are making efficient use of it.

Ezra:
I am convinced that Warman and Kinsella's lawyer is working pro bono. How else could you explain him signing off as "Solicitors for Richard Warman" when he is representing Kinsella. This can only be explained by the fact that he is an amateur.
Either that or it it might be entire client base is comprised those two bozos.
I would just return the letter to Brian Shiller (funny if he was an an Osgoode graduate) and claim confusion. They might be too embarrassed to reissue it.
This is just one more case of Kinsella making a fool of himself....anyone else seen the recent cell phone scam that he fell for on his blog?

yeah really liked the snide comment that "he does not live with his parents" - what the hell was that? Does this surprise this guy because he still lives with his? What a completely unnecessary statement. I am surprised that he also didn't suggest in his letter that you get "counseling" as that appears to be what most Toronto lawyers are advising these days as a matter of course for any disagreement of opinion.

I also think I am missing something - Warren Kinsell calls Ezra Levant "loathsome" and then turns around and sues Levant for libel?
In the elementary school I went to one of the rules was that if you called the other kids names, you were not allowed to have a temper tantrum and run off to whine to lunchroom supervisor if they call you names right back. Everything important I know about civil justice I learned in first grade through the third grade. After that it was just details. Maybe Mr. Kinsella needs to go back to the second grade for a while.

Kinsella on Elmasry:
(Elmasry and Steyn, meanwhile, are "both extremists who deserve each other.)"
The sock puppets are referred to as "These young people" and Elmasry as an "extremist"
Does Kinsella just not get the relationship between Elmasry and the socks, or is he merely being coy?

It does seem co-ordinated. DOnt know if that is illegal though, maybe abuse of process...I don't envy the judge who hears these suits since it is likely to come across as a sandbox dispute.
One would think there were better things for everyone to engage in.
Explain the how the publicizing of a lawsuit is evidence of animus? Why wouldnt they not want it publicized, is this normal? I know a lot of lawyering is asserting things,just because you can....but seems kind of silly to me.
It means that the other side really cant talk about it or they will undercut their own position.

Ezra,
With all of these lawsuits flying around, I have some questions:
1) At what stage is your abuse of process suit against Seyd Soharwardy at? Can you get any compensation beyond the fees for that case, like, say, making him pick up your legal expenses for the HRC investigation against you? Because that would just be perfect irony...
2) Kinsella's case seems fairly open-and-shut, at least to a layman like me. Is it really? How long do you expect it to take before you recover your costs?
3) If Warman is avoiding an examination for discovery in his suit against you, how much can you still drag out of him regarding what went on in the CHRC? Warman commited perjury about the hacking, but that came out during the Tribunal; will this ever be held against him in a real court?
4) Is there any point at which the courts can tell these people to just get in line and wait their turn, so you have less to deal with (and pay for) at once? Especially since you seem to have evidence (Warman's name on Kinsella's letter) that they're colluding against you.
In any case, please keep fighting.

Keep up the good work Ezra and thanks for all of your efforts. It's become a bit of a weekly thing for me and my 15 year old daughter to discuss some of the issues brought up on this site. I'm impressed that a teen-aged high school student seems to have a better grasp on the importance of freedom of speech and thought than people like Warren Kinsella, David Warren, Jonathan Rosenthal, Dean Steacy, and so many others.

This lawsuit game is but one of several new tactics being employed by the Neo-Libs to force their way against detractors when they can't force legislation in their favour. Several leftists have publically talked about it on talk shows. A young lady on a Michael Coren episode allowed as to how the left was going to begin to employ this internationally - suing companies (and countries!) in some other country's courts to exact large punitive awards. The tactic was seen as the only way when they couldn't bend a country's parliamentary process to craft laws to their liking.
This is just a mini-me version of the larger game. Keep your opponents off-guard by attacking their financial position. Since you're already wrapped up in this, I think countersuits with requests for large punitive damages for court abuse would be in order.

What a bunch of clowns. They're probably using the same, extremely careless and lazy--remember the previous correspondence about "Five Feet of Furry? --solicitor because he's the only one dumb enough to waste his time on nuisance libel suits.

Could there be a different motivation for Mr. Kinsella's lawsuit?
He has lost his National Post column, right? He is slipping into more and more oblivion and irrelevancy every day. And perhaps he does not like being yet another irrelevant, forgotten, political-has been from a gone era....
Nuisance suits against you, Mr. Evant, (or, in his eyes, fighting to preserve the HRCs) just might be the only way he thinks he can remail relevant and in the spotlight....
In other words, suing you might be his only way of trying to grab 5 more minutes of fame.

it all reminds me of the old Woody Allen joke:
"I used to go to New York University a long time ago, which is in Greenwich Village, that's where I started, and I was, ah, in love in my freshman year, but I did not marry the first girl that I fell in love with, because there was a tremendous religious conflict, at the time. She was an atheist, and I was an agnostic, y'know. We didn't know which religion not to bring the children up in. And I bummed around for a long time, and I met my wife, and we got married against my parents' wishes, we were married in Long Island, in New York, we were married by a reformed rabbi in Long Island, a very reformed rabbi, a nazi."

To all readers - Warren Kinsella is very big on throwing around words like "fascists" when talking about anyone who doesn't agree with his liberal elite directives about how society should be run - oddly enough, however, inherent in the concept of fascism is the control of the press and free speech to prevent contrary opinion from allowing the fascists to implement their "perfect societal view". Is this sounding like anyone we know yet? Last time I checked, while being attacked mercilessly from the left, including attacks on him as a parent during a debate - Ezra has never sued anyone to stifle public debate. That sort of tactic is reserved for the true fascists. I will be donating to Ezra's defense - and, would encourage others to do so.
Beyond that, I would also encourage others to formally nominate Ezra Levant for the Order of Canada. Links to my reasons and the link to file the nomination are here: http://searchingforliberty.blogs...zra-
levant.html
I'm sure Ezra wouldn't be overly impressed with the award and the company it keeps, but perhaps it's time that those of us who value freedom actually publicly signify the value we place on those who are working to maintain it.

You have to excuse my ignorance. What exactly is anti-semitic? If I have no problem with Judaism. No problems with my Jewish in-laws. No problems with my Jewish friends. Yet I am suspicious of Israel's foreign policy....does this make me an anti semitic. I hate how this word is thrown around. I really don't have a gut feeling about what it means anymore.
Though I don't agree with Ezra on some of his stands. I respect him as he seems to stand up and be counted for. No punches pulled. Common sense should always be respected.

Ezra,
Liberanos are broke, nobody wants to give them money anymore and Harper cut funding for Court Challenges programs. Liberano lawyers have no source of income and you seem to be able to generate some funds from public. It is about time that you share some of the money you collected with them.
Liberanos are still in control of the Courts in Ontario so getting some money out of you is a cake walk for them.

Ezra, I followed your link to Kinsella's website and did quite a bit of browsing and read several pages of his postings. The thing that stood out above everything else was that I never found one reader's comment on any of his rants. Compare that to the couple of hundred you racked up in just the last two days. Seems like Kinsella is only talking to himself and nobody else really cares about what he is saying. Either that, or they are disagreeing with him and he moderates them out.

Charles asks what is the most effective way of policing the spread of hatred without trampling on people's rights. For me that kind of thinking says it all and is how we got into the present mess. The idea of policing hatred or any kind of thinking is exactly what exist in totalitarian regimes. Remember the people's courts and re-education programs?
The answer however is that the only effective way of "policing hatred" is policing ourselves. That means one works at improving oneself recognising that one cannot force another person to cease hating or to think whatever. As for dealing with others, then you do so based on their actions.

Justice is the whim of the judge. If the special interests can work behind the scenes to select a biased judge then decent citizens could have a hard time. The real fight is on the media front. Thats what got the Devalk and Steyn cases dismissed. Embarasment for the forces of censorship in the war on freedom . Work the publicity for all its worth. Thats what they want to shut down, what they fear most.

Kinsella, the poor man's Warman.
Almost single-handedly, he created the legend of Chretienism.
No wonder he doesn't want to debate you. His thought processes are clearly somewhat disorganized if he thinks that Elmasry is not an anti-Semite.

Ezra I see some of your points and sympathize with your free speech argument. I don't see what you have against the Canadian Jewish Council though. Your posts about the organization seem more out of spite...like stretching a point. It doesn't work. Stick to your free speech attack and stop the perosnal stuff. People will have much more faith in your abilities if you do

This doesn't really have anything to do with your post Ezra, but I thought you would be interested in this, as would be, I'm sure, many others reading and offering comments right now.
I found this particularly engaging and enraging.

more nasty comments from Kinsella (is Shailde really a white supremist?...):
"STEYN'S MONKEYS SHOW THEIR TRUE COLOURS
...
Will Mark Steyn denounce any of these scumbags?
Well, when he promotes a white supremacist like Kathy Shaidle, what do you really think is the likelihood of that?"

Wonder whether the Conservatives are going to notice the dent in their fund raising if enough people like me divert their support to the David/Ezra who is fighting a historical battle for free speech in Canada instead of to the minority government that is sitting on its hands and if anything helping the Goliath of Human Rights Commissions?
Warren/Warman are apparently joined at the hip like the Tweedledumb and Tweedledee of unethical behavior, modern liberalism run amok. May they come a cropper on their own hypocrisy and fall off their moral high horse sooner rather than later.

To Mike, the simplest way of recognizing whether criticism of Israel is anti-semitic or not is if there's a double standard. If Israel is held up to a standard that no other country, especially her enemies are expected to meet, and criticized for not achieving impossible perfection, that is anti-semitism.
For example, I am unaware of any other country being asked to tolerate daily raining down of missiles across her border or suicide bombers penetrating into civilian centers without being permitted to shore up her defenses (fence) or retaliate.

Hello Ezra:
Just donated $50.00 again. These people have to be stopped.
I thought you did a great job on CTV Newsnet defending against personal attack by the pompous, liberal, eastern lawyer.
Where were all these human rights, and hate protectors when the father of the present Human Rights Commissions, Pierre Trudeau, was riding around on a motor bike wearing a German military helmet - a nazi symbol if there ever was one?

Thank you for letting us know - the idea that you must not publish his attack on everyone's free speech rights and his direct attack on you personally is odious at best and pure, unmitigated evil at worst.
I too wish there was a way to hit back at these loons - do we need tort reform to be able to sue for court costs, damages etc a la the USA?
Perhaps yes.....

I supported the Liberal Party since the early 1970's and I never immagined I would reach a point in my life that I would feel like spitting when I say the word "liberal". Mr Kinsella, you have just persuaded me to never vote for or support the Liberal Party again as long as I live and breathe...you silver tongued debate winning persuasive devil you.

Ezra,
Interesting that Kinsella's lawyer has a sense of humour re "living with your parents".
This new episode takes me back to something someone said during the Vancouver court proceedings. In reference to Khurrum Awan: "I don't have any problem with the colour of the man's skin, but just how thin it is."
Kinsella has a complex personality. Clearly he's a very bright guy, at least about matters political. And he has definitely "put himself out there", never hesitating to illuminate the Canadian masses with his thoughts ... well, about anything.
He clearly considers himself on a crusade, just like Warman and other HRC supporters do. In all cases though, they're blinded by the light that free speech means much more than just speech that happens to fit into today's political correct socialist activist viewpoint.
If he does follow through with this lawsuit, then expect $100 coming from me. I'm not a rich man but I passionately believe in this cause. If necessary, I'll send more.

File a counter suit. Charge him with malicious intent or whatever it is called. It's fairly obvious even to the legally untrained that Warman and this Kinsella fellow are using legal avenues to bully people into submission.
Sue to recoup all your money and more. Beat them at their own game and make it painful for them. When you win, take your wife out for a nice dinner and thank the Luciferian duo of Warman and Kinsella

This venomous troll has said more than enough to hang himself legally, and maybe it's time to pull that card. I'm sure the whole blogosphere will be more than happy to pay for it.
I can make all I donate back just in side bets on the scrap 
If a hefty donation buys a front row seat to continue watching you practice your "legal proctology" I'm in just for the farts and giggles.

Ezra here is all I got to say, and I say it as someone who plays the same game, but without the recognition. It seems to have become all about conflict. Whether you identify yourself as being on the side of righteousness or however you see your role. It is become an ongoing and apparently never-ending saga of conflict. Does this worry you?

Welcome to the NEW Canada under Jonathan Rosenthal & his fellow dogmatists of the hate crime game of thought control. If they get there way this is a likely scenario.
I cannot add any words as commentary. This is so insidious, it speaks for itself. Is this our future as well? We can think of at least one Toronto Lawyer who would gladly embrace this as truth with merit if not inspired.
Claim: Kids who say 'yuck' may be racist
Jul 7 12:42 PM US/Eastern
228 Comments
LONDON, July 7 (UPI) -- Toddlers who say "yuck" when given flavorful foreign food may be exhibiting racist behavior, a British government-sponsored organization says.
The London-based National Children's Bureau released a 366-page guide counseling adults on recognizing racist behavior in young children, The Telegraph reported Monday.
The guide, titled Young Children and Racial Justice, warns adults that babies must also be included in the effort to eliminate racism because they have the ability to "recognize different people in their lives."
The bureau says to be aware of children who "react negatively to a culinary tradition other than their own by saying 'yuck'."
"Racist incidents among children in early years settings tend to be around name-calling, casual thoughtless comments and peer group relationships," the guide says.
Staff members are advised not to ignore racist actions and to condemn them when they occur.

At what point do you, Mr Levant, stop fighting these guys and just dare them to follow through?
There must be some set of conditions where that is the correct thing to do. What are those conditions?
Or perhaps, Mr Boissoin is the last straw? If he is, how about letting us know?

You have to understand Ezra, that many of the people you are confronting have held the cherished ideal for decades that they are on the side of the angels, fighting as self appointed avengers of all that is right. To have it pointed out in such stark language how their lifes work is a farce is bad enough, but the queasy realization that they are goose stepping apparatchiks is more then their self aggrandizing narrative can comprehend. Be gentle Ezra, as they are used to being the hero and victim of every story they tell.

I fully realize that the blogosphere lives on the number of "hits" a site receives. However I can't help but think it would be worth it if all 80-odd commentators copied the Libel suit & the reference to the Sponsorship Scandal & posted them on Kinsella's blog. Would he delete them all or would he take the "hits" & think he was on the rise, a man of notability, a contender, back in the game, a player, to be reckoned with, notoriety, in the limelight, policy maker, King maker, The Once Great Warren Kinsella!

I can't help it. During the Democratic face-off this idiot has been drooling over Obama like he was the second coming of Christ. As a spin doctor, surely he couldn't be that naive. Platitudes of words with no substance what so ever. Pandering to whatever the particular audience of the day is. If man could only subsist on oratory alone. And Kinsella laps it all up with the intellectual bent of Pavlov's dog. Pity the poor bastard as this is his life's work.

About eight years ago Warren Kinsella very nearly destroyed a good man by ridiculing his religious faith for political gain. Stockwell Day has since shown that he is a hard working, charismatic, trustworthy cabinet minister, appreciated for his loyalty to his leader.
Since Stock doesn't have a vindictive bone in his body, I'm sure, when he's seen Kinsella at public functions, he's greeted him with courtesy as though the hate displayed by this petty man had never happened.
Several months ago, when Kinsella was accusing Ezra and Mark Steyn of hate he was reminded about the Day incidents and said something to the effect of, that his behaviour wasn't hate, he was only educating the Canadian public.
Well Warren, that's what Ezra's been doing as well. He's educating the Canadian public about what a duplicitous, tawdry little man you are.
If it's good for the goose...

Mackenzie: you have illustrated, wonderfully, my point. Your comments, generally, are negative personal attacks. My comment to Ezra was sincere. I understand that individuals, like yourself, will debase any discussion in search of some attention. Bloggers will say outrageous things hoping to attract "hits". This is the game I was referring to and I admit to having played it. But as times goes by Ezra is going to find it's a trap. There is a short term buzz that comes from conflict but there are long term consequences well worth thinking about.
Have you written anything noteworthy, Mackenzie, beyond your sneering and snide character assassinations. If so, please let me know where I might enjoy it.

A quote from Kinsella on the Greenshift Company's trouble with the Liberal Party:

Kindersella will have to change his punk rock band's name to "Shit for Brains" after he's refused to take his own advise and Ezra wipes the floor with him.
