CHRC not likely to appeal Warman v. Lemire decision, ignores public outcry seeks desperately to continue Section 13 prosecutions

Update2: Enter the Ezra - with all guns blazin -

Here's proof of how malicious the CHRC is -- and how disrespectful they are of Hadjis, Lustig and the CHRT. They are still prosecuting section 13 cases, even though the law has been declared illegal. They are literally using a law that is not functional, to censor Canadians in disregard of our Charter.

Update1: Jay Currie has more.

Based on this statement it appears the CHRC will not appeal Warman v. Lemire and have chosen to proceed with the Topham case without seeking a penalty. In effect they are taking the position that Section 13 (1) remains constitutional.

Not a surprise, the CHRC is a rogue organization riddled with corruption. Blatant conflicts of interest, abuse of process, misleading and false testimony as well as evidence tampering, have all been tolerated under the reign of Jennifer "J-Ly" Lynch. This latest affront is par for the course.
...

Dear Tribunal and Parties,

We write further to the correspondence that has been exchanged by the parties in regards to the impact of the Warman v Lemire decision recently rendered by the Tribunal.

It is the position of the Commission submits that the Tribunal should proceed on hearing the matter pending before it in the present case. Consequently, the matter should neither be adjourned sine die or simply dismissed.

In Warman v. Lemire, the Tribunal found that the penalty provision in s. 54(1)(c) was not a reasonable limit on freedom of expression under the Charter. In the instant case, the Commission will no longer be seeking a penalty under 54(1)(c) of the Act as was originally included in its Statement of Particulars. The Commission therefore respectfully submits that the Tribunal ought to proceed with a hearing of the Complaint to determine if section 13 has been infringed, and if so, to exercise its discretion under s. 54(1)(a).

Yours truly,

Daniel Poulin
Legal Counsel

The International Free Press Society declares September 30 International Free Press day

James Cohen - IFPS

On September 30, 2005, the Danish newspaper Jyllands-Posten published 12 drawings of Islam’s prophet Mohammed by 12 Danish artists in order to demonstrate that prohibitions on depictions of Mohammed as stipulated by Islamic law (sharia) did not trump Denmark’s freedom of the press.

In an era in which the act of speaking out in the Western world has become increasingly subject to the pressures of what we know as political correctness, this bold affirmation of free press rights by Danish journalists makes September 30 a banner day. In commemoration of their courage, then, the International Free Press Society declares September 30 to be International Free Press Day.

A farcical attempt to paint Israel black by Ron Prosor Israeli Ambassador to the UK

"It is impossible to escape the obsession of the Human Rights Council (and I chuckle every time I write its name) with Israel. In three years, it has issued 25 resolutions against individual states: 20 of them targeted Israel. Basic maths suggests that Israel, a tiny democracy permanently threatened by dictatorships and terrorists, is guilty of 80 per cent of the world’s human rights offences.

This is ridiculous,..."

"The expected reactions have come in from both sides. Haroon Siddiqui in the Toronto Star (Sept. 20) used the report solely to bash Israel and to let Hamas totally off the hook, not a very credible approach.

On the other extreme, Frank Dimant, B’nai Brith Canada ’s supreme, labeled the report a “whitewash” of “Islamist terrorism,” of course discounting any criticism of Israel."

Bumped: Oh Oh Jenny is there a Mole at the Canadian Human Rights Commission?

Uppitiestdate: The "mole" goes to ground

Uppierdate: Rumours afoot of a possible Op-Ed by the "Whistleblower" in a major paper


Upperdate: This just gets curiouser and curiouser, here's the promised post by our self-described "Whistleblower".

Excerpt:
A few months back, I extracted some information from a CHRC source, or computer, or sticky note (not telling you which). That information led me to the oldensrevenge@gmail.com email address and I was able to log in. There was no identifying information in the account linking it to the CHRC (black ops Commission style, through gmail).

After I logged in, I change the password. The CHRC can verify that information by attempting to log back into the account. Maybe those of you in the media can contact the CHRC and ask if they are able to log back into this account. As i said, this is to prove to THEM that I'm for real.


...
My take on the revelations thus far; All of the information our whistleblower says he provided was more or less public knowledge to anyone who has closely followed Warman v. Lemire or at least to anyone who knew who to ask, now as for changing the logon info for the gmail account well, let's wait and see if the CHRC dares to even entertain enquiries into the matter. Which sadly places us in Plan 9 from Outer Space territory - "Can you prove it didn't happen?"

Our Whistleblower will have to do better before credibility may be granted.

Note the message I received in reply from the oldensrevenge@gmail account: "The email account that you tried to reach does not exist."








The oldensrevenge account was in use by the CHRC Hate Squad and in fact had been included, among others, in a motion during the Lemire case.

Interesting IP Address. What's the weather like in Cypress W?










...
Original post below:

They seek him here, they seek him there,
The "Hate Squad" seeks him everywhere
Is he in heaven? Or in hell?

The CHRC, better than any soap goin. I would love for this to be legit but must confess I have deep suspicions based on the sites content. Still, for all that, it will be fun to watch for a Mushroom Cloud emanating from Jenny's head. Pity I will be virtually incommunicado all day Friday and thus unable to check out the upcoming post promised by our "Mole".

Update: Having corresponded with our Mole his description of the "culture" at the CHRC and activities of the Hate Squad have a ring of truth. Until we see more I will reserve judgement however.

We shall see says Jay Currie.

I love the irony but I really don't want to see Section 13 (1) rehabilitated

Even if it means Lucy gets caught in its web. As Ezra reports Richard Warman is being investigated for hate speech by the CHRC.

Now it would be deliciously ironic if Lucy launched a constitutional challenge to Section 13 (1). Prospects are dim that this will ever reach the tribunal stage, however, I do see this as yet another self-inflicted nail in the coffin for the CHRC, this mess is proof that they are a dysfunctional organization beyond reform or redemption.

I can only imagine the conspiracy theories both this and the Hadjis ruling will generate, hell a couple of scenarios suggest themselves as I post. For instance, is this some bizarre effort by the CHRC to make-over its irrevocably tarnished image in the public eye? Or is it a ham-fisted effort to exonerate themselves of the corrupt behavior that has transpired since they decided to appoint themselves Canada's Witch Finder General?

This case may have the potential for the CHRC to both investigate and "magically" clear itself of the numerous irregularites uncovered during the course of Warman v. Lemire; We've seen this sort of behavior before from the CHRC with Jenny's now notorious "Do-Over" of the Moon Report. Were I a betting man I would go with this one. However until we see the particulars we just have to speculate- ain't that fun;)

A tangled web indeed.

It's about the unworthiest imitation of debate possible, because it is meant to shut down any honest, evidence-based exchange of ideas.

The constitutionality of hate speech legislation Warman v. Lemire

"So, with respect, I take issue with the Court’s decision in Canada (Human Rights Commission) v. Taylor. The majority’s holding that the lack of truth as a defence against a finding of hate speech under s. 13(1) constitutes a minimal impairment of s. 2(b) is, I feel, a truly fundamental error. Though it purports to speak to the values underlying the guarantee of the freedom of expression, the Court seemingly shows an ignorance of it, for what is one of — if not the main — public interest rationales behind the guarantee other than it as an instrument of truth?"

When this magazine’s difficulties with Section 13 began in late 2007, received opinion took refuge in the weasel formulation that “of course we all believe in freedom of speech but it’s a question of striking a balance, drawing a line,” and other claptrap intended to appeal to Canadians’ sense of their own moderation.

What a difference two years makes.

How can the CJC credibly call for public tax dollars to fund Bible-centred Jewish schools while it lobbies for an end to the Lord's Prayer in other public facilities? How can any ethnic group oppose public displays of Christianity and still demand public grants for its pet multicultural projects?

It is time for the CJC to show the same tolerance for Christianity that has been shown for Jewish prayer by our
Gentile homeland."

A CELEBRATION OF SOLIDARITY: A Different Kind of Spotlight

The Toronto Declaration is unstoppable. Over 1,000 filmmakers, actors, writers and other cultural producers from around the world -- including Israel and Palestine -- have signed on to the statement objecting to the Toronto International Film Festival's celebratory spotlight on Tel Aviv.

New signatories include music and cinematic legends Harry Belafonte and Julie Christie. Actor Viggo Mortensen, who will be attending this year's festival, just added his name. Leading intellectual figures Noam Chomsky, Judith Butler and Anne McClintock have also recently endorsed the declaration, along with prominent Canadian writers Rawi Hage, Joy Kogawa, Dionne Brand and Kerri Sakamoto. Celebrated local filmmakers Velcrow Ripper, Min Sook Lee and Lynne Fernie have also signed the letter.

International support for the declaration continues to grow despite denunciations, unfounded personal attacks on earlier signatories Jane Fonda, Danny Glover, and Naomi Klein, and despite an aggressive campaign of misinformation regarding the letter’s content.

Come out to see some of the names behind the Toronto Declaration, with messages of solidarity and responses to their critics.

Greg "Blame The JOO'S" Felton

What is with these Kuffar Konvertibles tryin to be "More Mullah than the Mufti" ? My response to David Liepert, who it must be pointed sits on the Board of Contributors of Elmo's "Canadian Charger", which is fittingly also Felton's literary home, as it's a publication devoted to Jew-Baiting and 9/11 conspiracy mongers:

David Liepert wrote: "I've never contributed any pieces to the Canadian Charger, particularly not the ones you ascribe to me."

Neither Mr. Breakenridge nor myself has suggested you wrote any of the articles linked to David. What has been pointed out is that you are listed as a member of the Canadian Chargers Board of Contributors. The articles in question consist of the usual Jew Baiting & 9/11 Troofer screeds popular among Radical Islamists and the Pseudo-Left.

Your name on the masthead of the Canadian Charger serves only to confirm the hypocrisy of your feigned outrage at Anders pamphlets. Live with it.

"I fail to understand how secular powers and government agencies should think they are in a position to tell the Church that she is wrong in her internal rules and regulations, even though these have directed and shaped the life of the church during the last 2,000 years. However, this is what we face today," De Angelis writes.

"If the Human Rights Tribunal should choose to interfere with the Church's governance, this will be most shocking. The tribunal has no authority to place itself as an arbiter of canonical precepts."

Chareidim And Homophobia

In screaming “homophobia,” activists have lifted a tactic from the Islamists’ playbook. The latter have demonstrated just how effective a tool the charge of “Islamophobia” can be. Public officials are intimidated from mentioning pertinent facts that relate to the threat of radical Islam. After Scotland Yard uncovered a plot to blow up 10 planes over the Atlantic, it announced only that the plotters were of southeastern Asian ancestry and English-born, but not their jihadist motivation. And when Canadian Mounties arrested a group planning to bomb Parliament and behead the prime minister, they described the plotters as drawn from a broad cross-section of society, while neglecting to mention they were all Muslims.

Jennifer Lynch White Hegemonist - forces herself on visible minority group function

"Actually, as you’ll confirm, Dr. Natufe, I invited myself to come here tonight!"

From Jenny's latest unsolicited pr blitz - Remarks by Chief Commissioner, Jennifer Lynch, Q.C., at the National Council of Visible Minorities.

Hey, isn't that like a white racist exploitation of a power position or somethin Marxist like that?

Oh Yea, Barb Hall's OHRC tells us it is! - Thus one of the most critical components of modern or new racism is that it is based on an ideological construction of difference and othering. In combination with prevailing dominant white hegemonic power, racism becomes a commanding strategy for maintaining asymmetrical power relations or the status quo.

I note that Jenny's desperate cry for help remarks at the Canadian Bar Association convention in Ireland have yet to make their public debut on the CHRC web site, a little odd given her penchant for self promotion.

Wins and losses...

In a letter to the Globe and Mail last week, Ceej National President Mark Freiman accused the Swedish government of “shoddy moral leadership” for its refusal to criticize an anti-Israel blood libel that had been printed in a Swedish newspaper. Though I am no fan of the Swedes, Euroweenies of the first order who have been engaged in a campaign of vilifying the Jews’ homeland while kissing up to Muslims (Sweden is graced with a large and growing Muslim population), one cannot help but conclude that, in their abject failure to discern wins from losses (and losses from wins) and in their continuing support for state censorship, a concept inimical to Jewish values, the CJC itself is guilty of shoddy moral leadership, too.

Liberal Activist lacks irony gene, accuses MP Rob Anders of offending Muslims in criticism of Section 13 (1)

Update1: 6 of 10 Anders Pamphlets are now online, see below, sorry the offending versions remain MIA, we are working to obtain them.

By Renata D’Aliesio, Calgary Herald

A political pamphlet from a Conservative MP that urges changes to federal human rights legislation has raised the ire of Calgary’s largest Muslim organization, which views the dispatch to residents as inflammatory and divisive.

(The offending bits below)

“It is now illegal to hold opinions that offend radical Muslim activists,” and “under Section 13 of the so-called ‘human rights’ code, Canadians have been prosecuted for holding personal beliefs which offend radical Muslim imams and liberal activists.”
...

Liberal activist David Leipert spokesman for the Muslim Council of Calgary, and contributor to Mohamed Elmasry's 9/11 Troofer and Jew Baiter rag the Canadian Charger says that the pamphlet isn't factual.

The full Calgary Herald article is here.

We are working to obtain a copy of the Rob Anders pamphlet in an effort to ensure we have the proper context in which Ander's remarks were made, as noted here the first statement is debatable, the second not so much;)

Rose from the comments sums it up: So the MODERATE Muslim message is no dialogue regarding RADICAL MUSLIMS cause it offends us, wow at least the Islamists aren't hiding their agenda anymore.

Related from Tarek Fatah: However, instead of distancing themselves from jihad, too many Muslim leaders are defending it by hiding behind its supposedly peaceful nature....

Update: Following is one version of the 10 flyers Ander's sent to his constituents. Connie at Freedominion has pdf's of 6 in total however none is the offending version which we are waiting to get our hands on. Frankly of the 6 I have viewed none are objectionable - hard hitting yes.

NB: You will have to rightclick and use the rotate function to view these properly.

Unfortunately, in the words of H.L. Mencken, "The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels."

How free should hate speech be?

The Star has done an informal poll of Prof's attending the American Political Science Association (APSA) conference in Toronto.
...

We are rightfully wary of using governments to regulate speech. It is one possible response, the last available response, and often a response that brings its own share of problems. Legal regulation is often motivated by the extreme case, the obvious case. But once the regulation is in place, it will not be easily limited to the extreme case.

Not long after the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, Congress passed the first federal sedition law, making it a crime to cause "hatred" against the government. In response, the critics of the government, led by Thomas Jefferson, developed new ideas about the role of free speech in a democracy. As they pointed out, and frequently found out, government prosecutors and partisan juries were all too willing to believe that expressing an unpopular opinion in strong terms about the incumbent president was not robust political speech but rather illegitimate hate speech.

Today there are quite a number of people, some very friendly with the current federal government, who want the right to engage in what the law defines as hate speech without being branded with that label.


The Alberta publisher and provocateur Ezra Levant is opposed because he wants the right to print cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed that some devout Muslims consider hateful and offensive.

The right-wing columnist Mark Steyn is opposed because he wants to maintain his right to publish rants about “Muslim tides” that are strikingly similar to the statements about Jews that got the whole thing started.

Surprise! Canadian Islamofascist Congress Calls Lemire Ruling "SHOCKING”

Jennifer Lynch, Bernie Farber & The Lying Jackal united in common cause with the Canadian Islamic Congress, great minds truly think alike;)

Did Elmo write this? “Canada's anti-hate laws are an essential protection against hate-mongers who continue to undermine this country’s accepting, diverse, and multicultural society … we simply cannot afford to lose or weaken them.”

....

ISLAMIC CONGRESS CALLS UNILATERAL TRIBUNAL RULING AGAINST CANADIAN HATE-SPEECH LEGISLATION “SHOCKING” - OH Shut Up!

The Canadian Islamic Congress is calling it “shocking news” that a decision released this week on the impetus of a single member of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal could strip future Human Rights Commissions of much of their legal mandate to pursue hate-crimes, particularly those spread through the use of Internet technology.

In a minority ruling handed down Wednesday, the CHRT rejected the constitutionality of the controversial Section 13(1) clause of Canada’s existing hate-speech law on the grounds that it censors free expression of opinion by providing punishment (fines) for proven cases of objectionable speech that fall within the existing definition of hate-motivated crime.

The CIC is among a number of national human rights and social advocacy groups voicing strong objection to the ruling, which if upheld by the federal court, threatens to gut Canadian human rights legislation and leave a number of ongoing cases in limbo. “It is beyond the jurisdiction of a single member of the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal to discard Section 13,” responded CIC National President, Mrs. Wahida Valiante. “Canadian Human Rights Tribunal members are mandated to apply the anti-hate laws legislated by Parliament and upheld by the Supreme Court of Canada.” “The constitutionality of our anti-hate law is within the purview of the Courts, which have repeatedly found it to strike a proper balance between freedom of expression, equality, and the preservation of core multiculturalism provisions of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms,” she continued.

The anti-hate speech component -- Section 13(1) -- of the Canadian Human Rights Act came into effect during the 1960s in response to a proliferation of racist telephone hotlines, but was expanded in 2001 to include the World Wide Web (Internet/electronic publication). Many supporters of Section 13(1) say it should be amended rather than discarded. The CIC urges the Canadian Human Rights Commission and all those involved with pending or current hate-speech cases to appeal Wednesday’s unilateral Tribunal decision to the Federal Court, and to insist that the Government of Canada intervene to preserve Section 13(1).

“It (Section 13) may not be perfect but it’s the best we’ve got and it stands as a legal deterrent,” noted Imam Dr. Zijad Delic, CIC’s National Executive Director. “As frequent victims of hate speech in Canada and other parts of world, the Muslim community knows first-hand the dangers that come with relaxing our moral and legal vigilance against it.” And, like similar laws in other democratic countries, added Mrs. Valiante, “Canada's anti-hate laws are an essential protection against hate-mongers who continue to undermine this country’s accepting, diverse, and multicultural society … we simply cannot afford to lose or weaken them.”

To be certain they have seen the writing on the wall, my bet, however, is that they want to censor it.
...

Toronto Star Editorial: Let the courts judge hate crime

Critics of Section 13(1), including the Star, regard it as an unwarranted chill on our Charter right to freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression that imperils spirited public discourse.

Now, surprisingly, a member of the CHRC tribunal agrees.

Section 13 isn't salvageable. It can be interpreted to cover stereotyping and defaming, as well as hate-mongering. There's no need to prove intent. The tribunal can accept evidence that wouldn't stand up in court. And it doesn't have to establish guilt beyond doubt.

It's that bad.

Lying Jackal Links To U.S. Based Hate Site...

....in a pathetic effort at both fear mongering and ethnic pandering.

Leave it to the Jackal to tell those "unable to think for themselves" imaginary homogeneous ethnic voting bloc's he clearly has their best interests at heart - if only they vote for Iggy. Only a Liberal could so openly betray the racism of low expectations and expect to be patted on the back for it. The Jackal warns that the Lemire decision means that the Manitoba Basement Nazi Guy will surely overun the Beaches and close down the Pita Place.

But truly it's a sad state of affairs in Liberal Land when their unpaid volunteer propagandist is forced to link to the U.S. based hate site Stormfront - The Horror he must feel! Imagine! Canadians! Left without vocations thanks to Outsourcing, Globalization and the Harper-Con Agenda!

I'm sure under Ignatieff however that steps will be taken to Nationalize Canadian Hate Groups and provide them with Heritage Canada funding for the development of editorial content as well as the publications postal subsidy.

The McGuinty Liberals in Ontario are leading their federal counterparts in this effort having previously provided the Canadian Arab Federation with 20G's of your money to fight Jews racism.

Let's not forget the Liberal Party's other recent efforts at "Ethnic Outreach" : Huzzahs all round by the crowd when shout-outs were made to CAF and fellow travellers, Sid Ryan, CUPE and CUPW. The crowd was also pointedly advised that the pendulum has swung and they should be sure to vote Liberal as most grit party members now favoured the Palestinian cause over Israel. Liberal MP Paul Szabo, Liberal MP Bonnie Crombie, Omar Algabra and Carolyn Parish - Mississauga's next Mayor according to a local reporter covering the event, all being "that type of majority Liberal" were noted guests.

For years now I have been listening in to Internet discussion lists involving all sorts of Muslims from all over the world. It is becoming obvious that there is now yet another group of confused and mistakenly confident Muslims who live in the West. Many of them are the children of Muslim immigrants who left their “Failed State” Islamic countries after the Second World War to find new opportunities in the US, UK and Europe. Their children have now grown up in the West – still firmly holding on to the religion and traditions their immigrant parents have imparted to them in their adopted Western country but not realizing that it was this same religion and values which messed up their countries of origin and forced their parents to escape to the West in the first place.

Many have now started to hate the West and non Muslims.

Brian Lilley: Human rights law likely to become election fodder

What of the government? They will be under pressure from groups like the Canadian Jewish Congress, which is already calling on the Justice Department to appeal the decision. Then there is the matter of the election looming straight ahead.

A while back I asked a senior minister in the Conservative government why, when newspapers across the country and across the political spectrum, would not seek to eliminate or reform Canada's human rights laws to deal with section 13. The reason I was given, fear of being painted as a social conservative who doesn't care about minorities.

Now with Liberal MP Keith Martin, a self-described "brown guy," leading the charge in Parliament to do away with section 13, yes, this line of reasoning is laughable. Yet, and yet, it is not. When Martin initiated his motion to do away with section 13 the first wire story on the subject said something to the effect of "Liberal MP backs neo-Nazis."
....

In the Bizzaroland of Censorship Proponents, groups such as the Canadian Jewish Congress are so desperate to find support for their effort to rob fellow citizens of their Charter Rights that they seek allies among the psuedo-left in Canada, a constituency known for it's prevalent anti-semitism. Perhaps censorship's "Default Setting" is Self-Destruct.

Tribunal: the CHRC has been breaking the law for years

Today is definitely a day to celebrate. The celebration should be tinged with the reality that this battle is far from over though; the book-burners at the Canadian Jewish Congress have already announced that they will simply ignore Hadjis’s ruling, and act as if the law is still legal. I really don’t care that Bernie “Burny” Farber is a foolish buffoon; I just care that he’s doing it in the name of all Canadian Jewry, and that Nicholson might actually listen to such soft fascism, and think that we Jews are all thin-skinned, hypocritical whiners who can dish it out but can't take it, and want the state to bully our political enemies for us.

"This will have an immediate impact on the Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC), which maintains a large censorship department and has other cases under investigation. If the CHRC were a real police force, and the tribunal were a real court, all existing censorship cases would be dropped, and anyone who was previously convicted would have their convictions voided. Dozens of lawsuits against the government for wrongful prosecution, and compensation for costs, wouldn't be far behind. "

Agreed: Reparations must be paid to all those railroaded by the criminal conduct of the Canadian Human Rights Commission.
...

Calgary Herald - Free speech at long last!

"It was a complete rout of Canada's most repellent purveyors of political correctness, and from an unlikely source --a member of the tribunal appointed not by the Tories, but by Liberals in the Jean Chretien days.

Lemire is an equally unlikely and unsavoury poster boy for free speech. His website was a virtual home for knuckle-draggers given to venting about an equal-opportunity roster of demographic targets, and became himself the target of a complaint to the CHRC by activist Richard Warman, (the single largest source of Section 13 business for the CHRC for the last 10 years.) Warman alleged that postings on Lemire's website, written by others, were "likely to expose" identifiable groups to "hatred or contempt."

However, testimony revealed that some of the comments were the work of agents provocateur within the CHRC itself, one of whom on the stand dismissed free speech as "an American concept:" Together with allegations of anonymous postings using an unprotected Wi-Fi account near the CHRC offices, these helped Lemire's defence reveal the manner in which the CHRC had evolved from its original, limited goals. Further, even the specifics against Lemire were mostly too slight to merit condemnation, being rude but not hateful."

National Post editorial board: End the Canadian Human Rights Commission Witch Hunts

National Post - Published: Thursday, September 03, 2009

CHRC employees and their sympathizers in police racism units and activist groups around the country logged onto Mr. Lemire's site under phoney names. Occasionally to cover their tracks, CHRC staffers even hacked into the wireless Internet account of a women whose apartment was near their offices. When there were insufficient hateful postings on Mr. Lemire's site, these staffers and their associates would post racist, homophobic and pro-Nazi statements themselves under their assumed names then encourage human rights activists to bring hate-speech complaints before the commission over those postings.

At Mr. Lemire's hearing last year, CHRC investigators even admitted to letting one such complaint-filing activist, Ottawa lawyer Richard Warman, go through their files and make suggestions about how they could refine their prosecutions.

However, I have also concluded that s. 13(1) in conjunction with ss. 54(1) and (1.1) are inconsistent with s. 2(b) of the Charter, which guarantees the freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression. The restriction imposed by these provisions is not a reasonable limit within the meaning of s. 1 of the Charter.

Since a formal declaration of invalidity is not a remedy available to the Tribunal (see Cuddy Chicks Ltd. V. Ontario (Labour Relations Board), [1991] 2 S.C.R. 5), I will simply refuse to apply these provisions for the purposes of the complaint against Mr. Lemire and I will not issue any remedial order against him (see Nova Scotia (Workers’ Compensation Board) v. Martin, 2003 SCC 54 at paras. 26-7).

Decision:

Lemire Decision



Trupeers points out Hadji's thoughts on Section 13 (1):

[290] In my view, it is clear that Taylor's confidence that the human rights process under the Act merely serves to prevent discrimination and compensate victims hinged on the absence of any penal provision akin to the one now found at s. 54(1)(c), as well as on the belief that the process itself was not only structured, but actually functioned in as conciliatory a manner as possible. The evidence before me demonstrates that the situation is not as the Court contemplated in both respects. Thus, following the reasoning of Justice Dickson, at 933,one can no longer say that the absence of intent in s. 13(1) "raises no problem of minimal impairment" and "does not impinge so deleteriously upon the s. 2(b) freedom of expression so as to make intolerable" the provision's existence in a free and democratic society. On this basis, I find that the Oakes minimum impairment test has not been satisfied, and that s. 13(1) goes beyond what can be defended as a reasonable limit on free expression under s. 1 of the Charter.
