BCL Is Drinking Our Milkshake! Comments on Enforcement of Canadian Human Rights Tribunal Decisions

BigCityLib has posted another blog entry covering an area that we here follow. This time he addresses the fact that, despite claims by Mr. Levant and Mr. Steyn that Section 13 of the Criminal Human Rights Act is not enforceble, it has, in fact, been enforced, including a time this month:

And, oh look! Here is just such an example--a ruling issued in the Richard Warman v. Canadian Heritage Alliance and Melissa Guille case from April 21, 2009:

...in contrast to the ruling in Warman v. Northern Alliance and Jason Ouwendyk, the ruling in the present case simply suspended the Tribunal's cease and desist order for 30 days pending the motion on the constitutional challenge. After the 30 day period has elapsed (which is presently the case), the cease and desist order comes into effect.

[9] Ms. Guille and the Northern Alliance are therefore, subject to an order of this Tribunal to cease communicating the material that was found to be contrary to s. 13 of the Act and any material that is similar in content.

We would add to BCL's example the case of Tomasz Winnicki who, in July 2006, was sentenced to 9 months in prison for comtempt having continued to violate the terms of the Federal Court injunction by his continued online posting of, "the unrelenting message of hatred"; he was released in October of the same year pending an appeal [see page 3]. Winnicki had been ordered by the CHRT to stop posting hate material online in April 2006 (the injunction on his postings, which he ignored, had been placed on him by the Federal Court pending the decision [see page 7]).

Fromm Supreme Court Rejection

Below is a copy of the Supreme Court of Canada's rejection of Fromm's request for leave to appeal from the decision of the Ontario Court of Appeal. We just thought we'd publish it for historical posterity.

Because Sometimes We Couldn't Say It Any Better...

... we would ask our readers to check out BigCityLib's latest on the Lindsay Blackett's efforts to "reform" (read: gut) Section 13 of Alberta's Human Rights code.

The long and the short? It ain't happening and Ezra Levant isn't pleased.

And why is it that Stelmach is weak because he doesn't do what Levant demands? To be sure Stelmach is weak, but at least in this case he did the right thing. We also find this comment by Levant to be interesting:

Ed Stelmach, Alberta's weak premier, shows he's still strong when it comes to pushing his MLAs around. Today he put that uppity cabinet minister Lindsay Blackett...back in his place.

Mr. Blackett is a person of colour. We wonder if Levant understands the impications of the word, "uppity"? We think he does and is purposely trying to inject racial politics into the discussion. Pretty shameful, but whatcha go'n a do?

And we would like to echo BigCityLib's thanks to the Aryan Guard. If they hadn't caused such an ugly scene during their March 21, 2009 march that didn't actually go anywhere and blighted the reputation of Alberta by helping to create an impression that the province is a haven for racists, Mr. Blackett may very well have been able to get his "reforms" passed.

Paul Fromm and Personal Historical Revisionisn

Bonehead Mike Gaio, when wondering about what to do on his birthday, wrote that he might like to go to Jack Astor's. Mention of that particular restaurant prompted Paul Fromm to write (click on picture for the full view):


So you, Lemire and the group of geriatrics you were leading, "whupped" the ARA who "attacked" you? Is that right? Was that before or after you and Lemire raced into the restaurant to hide? Because we would think that it would be very difficult to determine what was happening considering you spent your time hiding in a storage closet.

What Happens When We're Bored

Idea was stolen from one of our readers and most of them are pretty lame, but perhaps some of you will find some of these inspirational posters to be at least a little amusing:

That last one was a bit of an inside joke that we know some of our readers will appreciate.






A bit of a double meaning in the above inspirational poster. Two words for you Marc: French Cruller.

Yes, very childish. We know.

David Duke Arrested in Prague, Czech Republic

Ex-Louisiana KKK chief arrested in Prague: police

PRAGUE (AFP) — A former US Ku Klux Klan chief was arrested Friday in a Prague restaurant while he was on a speaking tour here, Czech police said.

Former Grand Wizard of the Louisiana-founded Knights of the Ku Klux Klan, David Duke, was arrested on suspicion of promoting movements seeking the suppression of human rights, police spokesman Jan Mikulovsky told local media.

The arrest, in a tourist area of picturesque old Prague, took place in "quite confused" circumstances, said David Janda, the head of an anti-extremism unit of the city's police force.

Janda said Duke -- who had been due to give three lectures in the Czech Republic -- was guarded at the restaurant's entrance by militants belonging to a known far-right group "Narodni Odpor," which means national resistance.

Duke, a US citizen, is suspected of denying or approving of the Holocaust and other Nazi crimes, according to the CTK news agency. This crime is punishable by up to three years in prison in the Czech Republic.

Czech Interior Minister Ivan Langer and Human Rights and Minorities Minister Michael Kocab had each expressed disapproval of the visit earlier in the week.

The Ku Klux Klan was founded in 1866 by a group of US Civil War veterans from the defeated Confederacy, a group of southern states that upheld slavery and maintained African Americans were inferior to whites.

It is notorious the world over for terrorising black Americans through lynchings, cross burnings and other hate crimes.

The group enjoyed a peak membership of about five million in 1925, including politicians and even a member of the US Supreme Court.

But the Klan went into virtual bankruptcy as early as the late 1920s and since the late 1970s, its membership has varied between 3,000 and 6,000.

We know that as an international story this sort of falls outside of our mandate, but considering Duke's links to Canada through Paul Fromm and Fromm's signing of the "New Orleans Protocol", we thought it appropriate to include.

And, of course, the folks at Stormfront are going to be pissed. Looks good on them

Paul Fromm: "Their day will come."

Paul Fromm (pictured on the left after having beached himself on the shores of the Dominican Republic; local Greenpeace members diligently poured water over his body to keep him moist until he was finally rolled back into the ocean), who's libel appeal to the Supreme Court was just rejected with costs which will result in him having to pony up more cash, promotes himself as a free speech warrior (and, if you're FOX News, you might actually buy his claim). In addition to his anti-immigrant diatribes, Fromm has stated on his vanity Internet radio show on Stormfront, as well as some of his writing, that he has nobly thrown himself into the free speech debate for the good of all freedom-loving Canadians. In fact, he's so magnanimous that he supports free speech for not only the Aryan Guard, Marc Lemire, Tomasz Winnicki, Brad Love and a host of other righties, but also for those who disagree with him even if he finds those views objectionable.

And if you believe that we have a bridge in Pokemouche we'd like to sell you.

Fromm made a few new friends when he attended the Aryan Guard organized march this time last month in Calgary, among whom numbered Jody Issel of Saskatchewan and R.L. from Calgary (R.L., a pudgy teen with delusions of adequacy, is a minor and shall not be named). Recently, Issel posted the lyrics to a rather unimaginative entitled song, "Left Wing Scum" by a White Power music group, Day Of The Sword (who's member, Scott Stedeford, was sentenced to 30 years in prison for his involvement in bank robberies committed by the Aryan Republican Army). R.L. certainly liked the song's message (though we suspect when actually confronted with carrying out the threats therein, he would run as fast as his stubby legs would carry him). And, apparently, so does Mr. Paul Fromm:

Would Mr. Fromm like to explain what exactly he means by his statement when given the context of posted message that he's commenting on?

Ha Ha!

Top court refuses to hear appeal of hate speech defamation award

OTTAWA — The Supreme Court of Canada has refused to hear an appeal by self-styled free-speech crusader Paul Fromm against a $30,000 defamation penalty.

Fromm was seeking to overturn lower court rulings that found he maliciously defamed a former investigator for the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

Fromm's web postings were directed at Richard Warman, a lawyer who has made a career of going after hate speech on the Internet.

Fromm didn't dispute that he'd labelled Warman a "high priest of censorship" - among other things - but argued it was fair comment and without malice.

Last December, the Ontario Court of Appeal upheld a trial award of $30,000 against Fromm, and added $10,000 in legal costs.

The Supreme Court refused to hear Fromm's appeal and, as is usual with leaves to appeal, provided no reasons.

UPDATE: Fromm's appeal has been dismissed. With costs.

Aryan Guard and Aryanprincess1488 Falling Out

We really do appreciate that the boneheads follow have come to view us as omnipotent and omnipresent and that the minutia of their daily lives will inevitable end up on this blog. Sadly, that isn't the case. While we do a pretty good job of monitoring the Internet chatter we can't be all places at once though we do come into possession a great deal of information from anonymous and known sources (in fact, the most fruitful sources are the result of boneheads with a grudge and let us tell you they are often a very surly bunch). A lot of the information isn't published for a few reasons, two of which are:

1. It's about a nobody in the "White Nationalist" movement (or are merely a groupie) and no one cares until they give us a reason to care; nude pictures really don't make the cut (that would be you Natalie).
2. It's boring. We know it will come as a great shock to our readers, but Nazis lead pretty bleak and colourless lives.

Sometimes, however, we get some information that we're just dying to share. Mostly because it shows what a sad, surly bunch of social misfits that we're dealing with here.

We've discussed Aryanprincess1488, or as we lovingly refer to her as "Nazi mom" a few times on this blog. One of her closest friends from Winnipeg, Jessie Lajoie (now Jessie Ammeter again) moved to Calgary a few months ago but remained in close contact. We had no idea there had been a falling out between the two of them until we received the following message:

Anyone else such as aryanprincess is on their own and is not a member of the Aryan Guard. She has moved to a new province and ties with her have since been cut.

This was part of a much larger message that attempted to take us to task regarding our story about J.H. and the damage the Aryan Guard had done to his family. By the way, you people need to get together and come up with a single story to tell people; your inconsistency is a bit of an embarrassment.

Well, we were a bit confused as to why ties between the AG and "Nazi mom" would have been cut. Then we received the following Facebook updates from "Nazi mom's" and Alicia Reckzin's profiles:

Nazi Mom: If you're going to hack into my account... I suggest you get your fucking facts straight children!!!!

Reckzin: email hackers = RATS... as my grampa would say.... blood will out. Courtney and Jessie will see their day.

Nazi Mom: Well... live and learn... friends like you are best left at the enemies hands good luck and god willing burn in hell!!! And FYI... that type of manipulative behavior is usually left to the antis... thanks for trying to destroy our movement you 20 year old cunts!! But thanks for coming out and exposing yourselves for the twats you really are!!

Nazi Mom: Well... all the while knowing that your girlfriend's favourite music is rap.... listening to her mother bitch about her being a lesbian... knowing that she has been with niggers... and smokes a fuck of a lot of weed... what does that make you then??

The last point is interesting given Thomas Trenerry made similar accusations about "Nazi mom" herself.

It would seem that Jessie and his girlfriend Courtney B. hacked into "Nazi mom's" email account, for what reason we don't yet know. However Reckzin (whose insights we take with a grain of salt) appears to have received the information from the horse's mouth:

Reckzin: may not sound it but I talked to him today and he did... and told me and told me shit about me that was between me and [Nazi mom]... some not even true...SO WATCH YOUR BACK ALBERTA

Wow, Reckzin has put Alberta on notice. It's a little known fact that Albertan's are deathly frightened of gap-toothed, used up harpies that weigh no more than a buck ten. Be afraid!

So, do you think "Nazi mom" and Reckzin are going to be invited to the next Aryan Guard picnic?
