Rally the Troops for Free Speech - A campaign for intervenor status in the Judicial Review of Warman v. Lemire
The CHRC has mounted a Kamikaze effort to defend the odious Section 13 (1). It is imperative that we ask those organizations who support 13 (1)'s repeal to seek Intervenor Status in the upcoming judicial review of Warman v. Lemire .
Do your bit, write the organizations listed below, where appropriate ask if they plan to seek official status at the judicial review, offer to assist if at all possible with a donation. Nag Harper, nag Nicholson nag your MP, nag the members of the Justice Committee. Send a letter to the editor of your local daily, or write your favourite columnist.
This is your fight, take a swing and make it count for Free Speech. Let our opponents know that we will not negotiate and we will not beg for what is rightfully ours.

My readers, such good writers, here's an excellent example letter:
" Hello,
It has come to my attention that the Canadian Human Rights Commission has asked for a judicial review of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal's decision in the case of Warman v. Lemire, which ruled that the application of Section 13(1) of the Canadian Human Rights Act ( pertaining to messages of hate ), and Section 54(1)(c) of the Act were unconstitutional. The Canadian Human Rights Commission apparently disagrees with this decision, and wishes for the application of Sections 13(1) and 54(1)(c) to be continued unabated by the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal.
Now, as the application of these two sections of the CHRA has been seen to lead to a violation of both Canadians' natural and chartered rights to freedom of speech ( in nearly all of the cases brought to Tribunal on behalf of Richard Warman; Warman v. Lemire in particular ), and has led to a massive outcry of public opinion across the country against the existence of these two sections, I would just like to inquire if the BC Civil Liberties Association will be seeking intervenor status in this upcoming judicial review.
You would have my full support, as a resident of British Columbia, and, I am sure, the support of many other British Columbians and Canadians if you were to do so.
Sincerely,
You!
Are you suggesting we write EGALE? The same EGALE that has demanded that Rasta singer Elephant Man be banned from Canada?
Baning elephant whoseit is no different than banning Galloway. There is to be made what I refer to as the "good housekeeping" argument. Now away with you and your homophobic views;)
My homophobic views? Elephantman advocates that Gays and Lesbians be killed. I support EGALE's call to have him banned. Do you?
Mitka you were just against writing them to support the repeal of 13 (1), or don't you remember? Here's a tip read your own 1st post. Now away with you again I say.
BCF - this could be one of my really stupid thoughts, but is there some sort of online petition that could be put together; i.e. form letter/s to which we flying monkeys could attach our names?
We can investigate Black Mamba, I will poke into it.
Do you mean something along these lines?(http://www.ipetitions.com/start-petition/)?
Also: do you think a Facebook group would be relevant? Or is the timing not so hot for something like that?
I prefer the idea of an online form letter sender, the problem with online petitions is that they are historically notoriously ineffective.
Ah - too true!
OK BCF let's look at what I wrote:
"Are you suggesting we write EGALE? The same EGALE that has demanded that Rasta singer Elephant Man be banned from Canada?"
Then your rather dim-witted response:
"Baning elephant whoseit is no different than banning Galloway. There is to be made what I refer to as the "good housekeeping" argument. Now away with you and your homophobic views;)"
To which I noted:
"My homophobic views? Elephantman advocates that Gays and Lesbians be killed. I support EGALE's call to have him banned. Do you?"
And then your brilliant (Lord give us strength) retort:
"Mitka you were just against writing them to support the repeal of 13 (1), or don't you remember? Here's a tip read your own 1st post. Now away with you again I say."
I need to do this step by step because clearly you have trouble with more than one idea at a time. So please point out to your lovely throng of readers exactly where I was "against writing to EGALE". You see all I was pointing out is your inconsistency. I know that's a long word but you can look it up in your Funk and wagnalls.
Nonsense Mitka you clearly implied that you found it questionable if not outright distateful to write Egale. And whats even odder is that you are a Bernie Acolyte so it's doubtful you would have anything nice to say to free speech supporter anyway.
By the way my readers think you as nutty as I do;)
BCF: Thanks for the info.
...and don't feed the trolls...
Yup, nutty...can't tell the difference between good borders (handy for catching Bishops and such like) and free speech within the Dominion. But, as an official CJC sock puppet I suspect Mitka is, as they say, "only following orders".
Ya that's pretty good Jay use Nazi terminology to infer what a "an official CJC sock-puppet" does.
And as for you BCF you always make assumptions of what people may infer...you know what they say about people who assume...
Yup I sure do, it says that your an ass of a CJC sockpuppet who blindly follows orders;)
Excellent response to Mitka BCF...you are so smart how can anyone think you could be taken on at your own game....ignorance?
Oh lord yet another CJC troll ppipes up, thanks for the laugh Yariv.
Blaze - there's been an update:http://www.freedominion.com.pa/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=123804&start=15
Yup got it ealy in the am after my cat woke me up;) Thanks.
Oh wow - you're on the ball, man.
