More on Canada Revenue's Suspension of Suspected Terrorist Front "Charity" Irfan Canada
"Though IRFAN-Canada denies it, and though it launched a defamation lawsuit to clear its name, there have been allegations that the organization is a fundraising front for Hamas, including a 2004 report by the Israeli Intelligence and Terrorism Information Centre (IITIC).More recently, according to an article in the internet-based Global Muslim Brotherhood Daily Report, in May 2007, IRFAN-Canada “was named by US prosecutors as part of the Global Hamas financing mechanism in the Holy Land terrorism financing trial.”
But that is all separate from the CRA’s decision to suspend charitable status, says Naseer Syed, a Toronto-based lawyer for IRFAN. “That is not the issue at hand.”
Though he may be right in the narrow legal sense, a 24-page letter from CRA to IRFAN lawyer Terrance Carter, dated April 6, 2010, makes several references to the government’s continued concerns about IRFAN alleged ties to terrorist groups."

A 12 million dollar lawfare action has been in the works by Irfan Canada for some time which likely explains the MSM's silence on this matter.
Only Communists would think that it makes sense to actually implement bad science fiction plot ideas...
"It was Robert Heinlein, I believe, who wrote that the essence of science fiction is to take some idea or trend and play it out to its logical, if absurd, conclusion. For Heinlein, the essence of science fiction was to ponder the question, "if this goes on..."
Normal people may wonder what would happen "if this goes on," but when they ponder the conclusion, they usually draw back in a human horror of the inhuman implications.
Not so with science fiction authors and Communists."

Front Page Interview: Christine Williams of CTS discussing the Left, the Islamic Community & Faux Feminists
Williams: "Canadians are passive when it comes to the culture war and the threat of Islam. A lot of Canadians aren’t even familiar with the term “culture war.” We haven’t experienced a 9/11 here and since our collective media is very Left, cases highlighting the network of terrorists living in Canada and planning attacks in other countries have been downplayed."
"...Take my country of origin for example: Trinidad was a model country of a predominantly Christian, Muslim and Hindu population living peaceably together, even celebrating each others’ holy days. That was until the beginnings of aggressive Islamism in the late 80s."

Galloway Hearing Videos - Our MSM At Work - Still Serving Up Biased Slop
First up is the CBC interview with Meir Weinstein of the JDL at today's aborted George Galloway Hearing. Now I realize we shouldn't expect the young lady who conducted the interview to be up on every detail of George Galloway's comings and goings so maybe whoever assigned her to cover the event should also shoulder some blame for what amounts to an ignorance of both basic facts and background to the story.
At the 1:23 mark of the video she asks Meir "Is there any evidence of that" referring to George Galloway having handed over cash directly to Hamas and personally declaring the donation to be political and not charitable. Meir patiently schools her in the facts.
"Fact, by Galloway's own admission, broadcast on several Arab television stations: "I, now, here, on behalf of myself, my sister Yvonne Ridley, and the two Respect councillors – Muhammad Ishtiaq and Naim Khan – are giving three cars and 25,000 pounds in cash to Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh. Here is the money. This is not charity. This is politics." Not charity, but politics. Not to "doctors and nurses who hadn’t been paid," but to the Hamas gangster "Prime Minister" Ismail Haniyeh who, in fact, is not and was not the Prime Minister of Palestine."
....
At the 1:53 mark the young lady asks Meir "Am I right or is your organization on the blacklist in the states". She is referring to the fact that the original United States incarnation of the Jewish Defense League was indeed once listed as a terrorist organization in the States.
Fact - The JDL is no longer listed as a terrorist organization in the US nor anywhere else other than in the minds of the of the useful idiots of the left in Canada, which is where I suspect our young CBC reporter got her information from. Once again Meir patiently instructs the "media".
Why do these questions never get asked by our MSM?
I have now had a chance to review some MSM coverage of the George Galloway hearing, with particular attention paid to how they handled interviews with James Clark of the alleged Canadian Peace Alliance. Clark is one of the useful idiots behind the legal action to have George Galloway's ban rescinded. I was willing to wager that no member of the press, including the young CBC reporter, would ask James Clark about his association with Zafar Bangash, the Islamist thug and shill for the murderous Iranian regime. I doubted also that any of the reporters would ask James Clark of the Canadian Peace Alliance about his attendance at the Cairo Conference where he and others from our "peace loving left" met with members of Hamas, Hezbollah and the Muslim Brotherhod - all terrorist organizations. I was not proven wrong.
Interesting but not surprising; not a single report discusses James Clark and his notorious network. We will change this.
Well the first Dead Tree Report is in, The Toronto Star Reports...nothing of James Clark's "associations".
Holy Crap how many CBC's are there? Here's another report check out the "on the spot" coverage, I'm certain grade school students could do better.
This is, as of this writing, a 16 hour old CBC Web piece on the Galloway Hearing - nope no questions asked about Clark's "friends" here.

RBO's Brenda J. Elliott, the American political blogosphere's best investigative researcher, takes on "The Manchurian President"
"In the time it takes most writers to think up a theme for an essay, historian and investigative political researcher Brenda J. Elliott can gather enough material for an encyclopedia entry and weave it into a muckraking report that does double duty as a mini-history course on a topic. Since early 2008 her blog Rezko Watch and its present incarnation RBO (the "Real Barack Obama") have been a go-to place for political junkies and journalists looking for background material on Barack Obama and his associates.
Now Brenda has teamed with investigative reporter and best-selling author Aaron Klein to write an exhaustively documented examination of Barack Obama's ties to leftists. The 450 page work, titled The Manchurian President: Barack Obama’s Ties to Communists, Socialists and Other Anti-American Extremists and due in bookstores May 3, is the book the American journalism profession should have produced at least as early as 2007, when it became evident that Obama was being groomed to step into the White House. Instead, the profession cranked out one puff piece after another and didn't examine Obama's network of leftist alliances."

Why Allah Sews Socks In Hell Part 977,634
"A deliberately-planned display of Muslim force took place in the cathedral of Cordoba on April 2, in the very middle of Holy Week, the holiest time of the year for Christians. Nearly 120 Muslims from Austria slowly filtered into the cathedral, so as not to attract the attention of guards and, using walkie-talkies, arranged to meet at a certain time, in one of the naves of the cathedral. There a number of them began, in the hush of the Christian services, to turn toward Mecca and prostrate themselves, and to loudly chant in unison. When asked by the security guards to please stop, they refused, and began to threaten the guards who, in turn, had to call for reinforcements from the Spanish police. When the Spanish police arrived, thus further disrupting the holy hush of ancient sacrifice, and the spiritual tranquility of the Christian worshippers, they found the Muslims unwilling to stop. At least one pulled out a knife, and at least two of the Spanish guards, one policeman and one from the cathedral detail, were wounded sufficiently to go to the hospital."

The clash of civilizations writ small, reduced to a mere courtroom absurdity in downtown Palookaville.
For the last time, Galloway was warned he'd be denied entry to Canada for having given money to Hamas - a banned terrorist organization. He wasn't refused entry, he simply didn't bother to try after being so advised by Canadian Border Services. The facts didn't stand in the way of his fellow travellers however, who have falsley proclaimed Galloway a free speech "martyr". But spare an ounce of pity for poor Georgie, after all even his erstwhile Islamist allies have taken to beating him up for fun.

Zaynab Khadr for Governor General of Canada
I'm serious. There's a lotta upside to this.
1) It potentially removes at least one and possibly all Khadr's from the welfare rolls. With a minor bit of legislation the entire Khadr Klan could be designated "The Governor General Family". A reader adds - If Zaynab isn't feeling up for a round of duties, she can have any of her niqab'd relatives fill in for her. Who will know? It's like you get 50 G-Gs for the price of one. In fact "she" can attend 10 different events at the same time!
2) Gets them outta Toronto and in Ottawa where they belong, nestled cheek by jowl among the elites who crave their company. We could even mandate the Khadr Klan share occupancy of Stornoway with Iggy while Rideau Hall undergoes the needed addition of a mosque.
3) Improved diplomatic relations with Al Queda and various medieval death cult governed nations.
4) Canadian troops in Afghanistan can hand over detainees directly to the Taliban satisfying opposition leaders demands and avoiding a costly inquiry.
5) Declare Canada a republic and repatriate the entire Khadr Klan to Britain! Alternatively we could move Rideau Hall to Saudi Arabia.
6) Satisfies unwritten constitutional requirement that GG' be married to effete metrosexual.
7) Opens up a much needed discussion on whether "Fragging" is permissible under some circumstances.
8) Potentially less expensive if 1st Option in item 5 is followed.
9) Good way to "stick it" to uppity CBC staffers.
10) Seal Meat's Halal!

I am much, much more upset about Islamic symbols semipermanently installed in public space than I would be about, say, Christian or Jewish or Sikh or Bahá’í symbols. I don’t have to treat Islam equally, but I would object to all those nonetheless. I have a categorical objection to violations of separation of church and state.

Question: Those who are tolerant in religious matters say, “When ‘Isa comes back, he will spread true Christianity. We will then work shoulder to shoulder with Christians to annihilate irreligiousness.” Will Hadrat ‘Isa spread Christianity?
Answer
It is unthinkable and very wrong. When ‘Isa alaihis-salâm comes back to earth, he will wipe out Christianity and will spread Islam as a member of this Ummah. The purport of two hadith-i sharifs is as follows:
(‘Isa will come as a follower of my religion.) [Imam-i Ahmad]
(‘Isa will descend from the sky as a just judge. He will break the cross [he will wipe out Christianity], kill pigs [he will forbid pork], and prohibit everything other than Islam.) [Bukhari, Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Ibn Abi Shayba]

Your Right To Speak Freely Is At Stake
"It was only a matter of time before a group of angry Canadians recognized that something needs to change regarding the state of freedom (or lack thereof) of speech! Today, a new organization popped up with the sole purpose of urging government to remove section 13.1 of the Canadian Human Rights Act, the clause that forbids the use of any speech that may offend someone based on rules that are made up on the spot by an appointed commission."

Our Senate gets it right on free speech
National Post Editorial
"Censorship," Mr. Finley said in his opening remarks, has begun to "rear its ugly head" in the form of aggressive human rights commission investigations into politically incorrect Internet postings and a university administrator's threats to American author Ann Coulter that she risked hate-crimes prosecution if she didn't curb her tongue while in Canada. "Despite our 400-year tradition of free speech, the tyrannical instinct to censor still exists."

Senate Inquiry into The Erosion of Freedom of Speech in Canada: Speaking notes for Senator Patrick Brazeau on the matter of Free Speech in Canada
Speaking notes for Senator Patrick Brazeau on the matter of Free Speech in Canada
April 13th, 2010
For immediate release
“Honourable Senators, I rise in this chamber today to add my voice to the inquiry of the status of freedom of speech in Canada. As has been so eloquently pointed out by my honourable colleagues, the concept of freedom of speech is fundamental to democratic government. It has been said that “the test of democracy is freedom of criticism”. Indeed, healthy, provocative, even intense debate is the truest essence of the basis for participatory democracy.
Freedom of speech is not, as some have suggested, an American idea. It is an extension of free will. It is a by-product of democracy and it is reflective of the notion that all men and women were created equal. Freedom of speech knows no political station, no power structure nor race, colour or creed. Given this, how sad it is that we seem as a society to place the notion of freedom of speech as less important than ensuring none might become offended by the hard truths of 21st century living. I took note of several Senator’s questions about the fine line between freedom of speech and respect.
As an Aboriginal person, I am personally aware of how freedom of speech can be used as a tool to promote prejudice and hatred. It was presumably that situation, as reflected in the Ann Coulter incident that has given momentum to our deliberations on this most important subject.
Equally important is that the recent incident highlights another ‘fine line’ between one person’s freedom of expression vis-a-vis another’s – and this warrants further study.
Je ne saurais dire, personnellement, si ce sont les professeurs de l’Université d’Ottawa qui ont empêché Mme Coulter de prendre la parole, ou si ce sont ses organisateurs qui ont décidé d’annuler son discours. Je ne sais pas non plus si elle a été intimidée par la foule d’étudiants ou si, à vrai dire, leur manifestation l’a laissée indifférente.
Je sais toutefois pertinemment que les étudiants se sont sentis libres d’entraver sa liberté d’expression.
There are those who believe that freedom of expression and free speech works in only one direction – those who will insist on being able to express their views and opinions while denying others the opportunity to challenge those views. The line between speaking freely and being spoken to freely should not exist – but sadly, it most assuredly does. If the students were free to protest Ms. Coulter’s presence on their campus and the nature of the presentation she was expected to give, why was she not equally free to be there, and to speak her mind?
The erosion of many of these freedoms is nowhere more evident than in First Nation’s communities. In many instances, the utter absence of accountability and transparency that has plagued Aboriginal politics for so long can be attributed in large part to the infringement of the rights of grassroots Aboriginal people to their freedom of speech. For many reserve residents, the price for their attempts at free speech and the expression of their concerns in an open manner is often restriction of access to essential services such as housing and post-secondary education. The price of speaking out against corruption and demanding accountability can at times be even more severe, involving physical violence and threats to family and friends.
Il y a aussi des personnes qui prônent la liberté de parole et d’expression, mais qui par ailleurs mettent tout en œuvre pour empêcher que d’autres jouissent de cette même liberté. J’ai moi-même vécu ce genre de situation en 2008, dans un rôle précédent, lors des discussions entourant l’abrogation de l’article 67 de la Loi canadienne sur les droits de la personne; les discussions ont finalement abouti à ce que les dispositions de cette loi puissent aussi s’appliquer aux peuples des Premières nations pour la première fois depuis plus de 30 ans.
Qui, selon vous, s’opposait le plus vivement à cette amélioration importante des droits de la personne pour les membres des Premières nations? Je vous le donne en mille : leurs propres dirigeants.
There are numerous examples whereby freedom of speech has resulted in positive change that has and will benefit generations of Aboriginal people. John Corbiere spoke up against being prevented from voting in elections in his community because he lived off-reserve. Sharon McIvor recently spoke out on the injustices in the area of gender inequalities regarding the Indian registration system, as did Senator Lovelace Nicholas in the 1980’s. Donald Marshall spoke out on the matter of Aboriginal fishing rights.
Each of these people, Honourable Senators, served their communities and their own rights by exercising their freedom of speech all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada. Colleagues, as Canada’s first peoples the Aboriginal community needs to be able to freely define its aspirations, to debate the real root causes of poverty in Aboriginal communities and to compellingly prescribe the cure for its ills.
This cannot happen in a vacuum where people live in fear of retribution and retaliation if they have the courage to speak out. This will not happen if divergent opinion is termed racist – and it surely will not happen without the full engagement and participation of grassroots Aboriginal peoples, convicted and convinced enough of the need to embrace the need for change.
Songez à ce que nous pourrions espérer d’un débat sans parti pris, mené en toute liberté d’expression : des solutions internes pour surmonter les problèmes de pauvreté chez les Autochtones, conçues par et pour les Premières nations, les Inuits et les Métis; un engagement plus profond de la communauté autochtone dans le processus politique et même dans la vie politique, où les Autochtones pourraient briguer volontairement les suffrages et élire des représentants qui sont responsables et qui rendent des comptes; et surtout, un Canada où les Autochtones sont reconnus comme faisant partie intégrante du tissu de notre pays et comme étant essentiels aux débats nécessaires pour assurer notre prospérité soutenue.
The time-worn saying that “The truth shall set you free” is a dream for many Aboriginal people. The sad reality being that the truth will most often set you back – to the back of the line for housing repairs, for job training, and for employment opportunities. Honourable Senators, we must not take on this complex matter lightly. There are numerous ‘fine lines’ that are to be found intertwined in this subject.
There is the line between freedom of speech and freedom of expression which must not be crossed --, and that is in the instance where freedom of expression can lead to resorting to violence. Equally, there is the line between freedom of speech and the freedom to knowingly misrepresent the truth. There are the lines between our rights to free speech and our rights to protect ourselves from slander and libel. This is a highly complex matter and one from which we in this chamber should surely not shirk...
Colleagues, I believe that it will only be through the open exercise of free speech that Aboriginal poverty will be overcome and that the aspirations of Canada’s Aboriginal peoples will be achieved. It is only by ensuring the essential right to freedom of speech is respected and affirmed that Aboriginal people will have the fair opportunity to participate fully in Canada’s prosperity.
Honourable Senators, freedom of speech is often a right that we in parliament sometimes take for granted. However, in Aboriginal communities, the affirmation of the right to freedom of speech is something that needs to be taught, exercised and most importantly, rigorously defended in light of anything that attempts to trump it, short of hate-crime.”

Senate Inquiry into The Erosion of Freedom of Speech in Canada: Senator Eaton Calls Freedom of Speech an Inextricable Part of Canadian Identity
Senator Eaton Calls Freedom of Speech an Inextricable Part of Canadian Identity
April 13th, 2010
For immediate release
“Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise to address the state of freedom of speech in Canada.
Like other Senators who have spoken before me on this matter, I am alarmed by the erosion of this most essential right; alarmed because freedom of speech is an inextricable part of our Canadian identity. If we lose that freedom, we lose a part of our Canadian-ness. Freedom of expression in all of its many forms – including freedom of speech, the press, the arts, and religious and cultural expression – has always been one of Canada’s most important national qualities.
It is a golden thread, woven through our great historic moments and all of our great public controversies, and it has guided us to peaceful resolutions of our disagreements and helped us reach our highest aspirations. And, in our increasingly multicultural, pluralistic society, it ensures that everyone in Canada can find their voice, and have their say.
Freedom of speech is the great equalizer for Canadians who seek to address their claims by appealing to our national conscience. In Canada, one doesn’t need to have power or money to make a case – merely a passion to express an idea. This is one of the most attractive qualities we offer to new immigrants, many of whom come from countries where political or even religious dissent is a crime.
But free speech isn’t just part of our Canada today. It is also a great Canadian tradition. In his opening remarks on this subject, Senator Finley mentioned in passing the case of Joseph Howe. I’d like to expand on that, because it set such an important precedent for the freedoms we enjoy to this day.
In 1835 – nearly 200 years ago, and a generation before Canada was born as our own country – Joseph Howe was put on trial for seditious libel, because the newspaper he published had embarrassed local Halifax politicians by exposing their corruption. Howe knew that his own freedom was at stake – if he lost, he could have been imprisoned. But he also knew that much more was on trial that day: the right of citizens to scrutinize and criticize their government was in question.
Some would call that the right to offend!
Here’s what he said to the jury about what would happen politically if he were convicted:
“Were you to condemn me, these [politicians] would say there is no truth in those charges, there is nothing wrong, and matters would continue in the old beaten track. If you acquit me, as I trust you will, they must form themselves into a court of inquiry for self-reformation ; they must drive out from among them those men who bring disgrace on their ranks, and mischief on the community in which they reside…”
At the time, Halifax had fewer than 15,000 citizens. It was still a very new place, and its political and legal culture were still being formed. Howe’s case would set a precedent for Nova Scotia, and the rest of Canada, for centuries to come. Had the jury chosen to side with the Halifax elites – the politicians and other polite company who had been offended and embarrassed by him – corruption would have flourished, and democratic criticism would have withered. Howe’s passionate defence of freedom worked. The jury defied the judge’s instructions and acquitted Howe. And that great triumph set him on course to one day become Nova Scotia’s premier.
But let me quote one more passage from Howe’s speech. Remember, his trial was not long after the American Revolution, and the War of 1812. Canadians and Americans had taken two separate paths, and were still wary of each other.
Howe clearly rejected the American way. He regarded their revolution as an act of rebellion and disloyalty. He was a fiercely proud Nova Scotian. But here’s what he said:
“Let not the sons of the Rebels look across the border to the sons of the Loyalists, and reproach them that their press is not free.”
Howe wasn’t trying to impress the Americans. And he certainly didn’t believe that freedom of speech was only for Americans. In fact, the opposite: in his defence, he constantly referred to the Canadian and British traditions of liberty. To Howe, all modern free peoples enjoyed freedom of speech. Far from being merely an American concept, Howe regarded it as quintessentially Canadian.
Joseph Howe set a great precedent. But the nature of freedom of speech is that it constantly must be supported, for there are would-be censors in every generation. In 1935, exactly a century after Howe’s acquittal, across the country in Alberta, William Aberhart became premier, and like the political elites of Howe’s Halifax, he found Alberta’s newspapers to be troublesome and offensive.
Aberhart’s election came in the face of nearly universal opposition by the newspapers of the day. By 1937, he was so frustrated that he introduced the Accurate News and Information Act, that required every newspaper in the province to run a rebuttal or a “correction or amplification” when ordered to do so by the government.
Alberta’s Lieutenant Governor refused to proclaim the law until the Supreme Court could assess its constitutionality; he was punished by being stripped of his official residence, car and staff. Even without that law, Aberhart prosecuted his war against the press. The Alberta Legislature ordered that a reporter for the Edmonton Journal, Don Brown, be jailed for misquoting a government back-bencher. Luckily, national ridicule caused the government to back down before they could arrest him.
In the spring of 1938, the Supreme Court ruled that Alberta’s Press Act was illegal, and that it violated Canada’s unwritten bill of rights – the same code of freedom that had protected Joseph Howe. And for its efforts in fighting against Aberhart’s censorship, the Edmonton Journal was awarded a special Pulitzer Prize, the first time the citation was awarded outside of the United States.
It was a great Canadian moment.
There are many of these moments in our history – some much more recently.
It wasn’t until 1955 that the University of Toronto shut down its “Art Room”, where, until then, students had to prove they were free of “mental problems” before reading controversial books like Ulysses. The books were later moved to open shelves.
In the 1980s, in the case of Vancouver’s Little Sisters book store, Canada Customs followed Memorandum D911, which arbitrarily declared any description of gay sexuality to be obscene – a vague rule that was eventually thrown out by the Supreme Court. Little Sisters continued its fight against Customs and Canada Post well into the 1990s.
And until Prime Minister Brian Mulroney overturned the order 48 hours later, customs police briefly made Canada the only Western democracy to seize copies of Salman Rushdie’s Satanic Verses, after Iran’s fatwa.
We’re in the 21st century now, and one would think that censorship would be obsolete, universally considered a relic of less enlightened times. But nowadays it’s not prudish customs agents or thin-skinned politicians who are the main threat.
It’s Canada’s “human rights commissions”, which would have struck George Orwell as being perfectly named.
These commissions were started with the best of intentions – to help the poor and the weak from being bullied out of a job or an apartment. But they have become censors, policing not death threats or incitement to violence, or any other real crime, but rather the fake crime of hurt feelings.
They have become what author Kathy Shaidle calls a “Tyranny of Nice”.
Section 13 of our own Canadian Human Rights Act makes it against the law to evoke feelings of “hatred or contempt”. But hate is a normal human feeling. What’s not normal is to make those feelings against the law. Of course we don’t want people to turn their hard feelings into crimes –that’s why we have the Criminal Code. But to have a government agency monitoring the Internet, searching for certain political views to prosecute is anathema to a liberal democracy.
In 2008, Maclean’s magazine was put on trial for a week for publishing excerpts from Mark Steyn’s best-selling book on Islam. And the Western Standard’s publisher, Ezra Levant, was prosecuted for 900 days for publishing pictures of the controversial Danish cartoons of Mohammed. Those are two famous cases. But there are plenty more people who have been investigated by the government merely for having a certain point of view.
Like pastor Stephen Boissoin (buzz-ON), who was given a lifetime speech ban by the Alberta human rights commission. And Father Alphonse de Valk of Toronto’s Catholic Insight magazine, and the Christian Heritage Party and Bill Whatcott of Saskatchewan.
Each of these men were prosecuted for expressing their religious belief. Not for doing anything harmful; just for saying something that someone else found offensive.
This shows a systemic bias in our human rights commissions – and that’s exactly the problem with vague, political censorship. It’s not about the law anymore. It’s about political favourites. But that’s just not how we settle our disagreements in Canada. We don’t have the state intervene in political or religious disagreements.
We let people decide for themselves.
There is a common thread to each of these free speech battles. In each case, the targets of censorship were declared “offensive” or “troublesome”. But in each case, the success of those troublesome critics helped make Canada more inclusive and more democratic. Canada is the most peaceful and tolerant country in the world, precisely because we allow people to disagree with each other passionately – and even offensively.
That clash of ideas is often noisy and occasionally upsetting. But through those vigorous discussions, we have been able to navigate our way through hundreds of years of challenges – and our national purpose has never been stronger.
Mr. Speaker, freedom of speech is not just an abstract Canadian ideal.
It is an active, living part of being Canadian. It is an integral part of the Canadian identity. Our citizens use it every day, more often than any other freedom. To study our history is to see each generation of Canadians stand up for that freedom when it is challenged like it has been several times recently with the Steyn, Levant and Coulter episodes. And to learn from our history is to know that we must protect that great inheritance today and whenever in the future it may be challenged again.
Thank you.”
