Word From A Commenter

Says a lawyer:

I wanted to let you know that linking to non-public officials who may be involved in this process could make things worse. Even if you do not live in Canada, at best it will increase the sympathy of the Tribunal to the complainants.

The Commission can also investigate and deal with complaints of retaliation against persons who file a complaint.”

We sincerely wish that was a joke. Nothing wrong with emailing the CHRC themselves though. Canada: “Welcome to Our Police State. Assume the position. Papers, please.” …. (We Ourselves)

~ FUN WITH LEGAL JIHAD — ‘The ‘Muslim Libel Cases’: Nothing Less Than ‘Legal Jihad‘. Do you suppose there are people preparing or trying for some ‘legal jihad’ in Canada? Oh dear: a plague of lawyers …. (freedomszone)
