We tried not to talk about him. We mean we tried really, really hard. But when you're given gold like this, how could we not share it with our readers?
Normally we’d be loathe to publish part of a Jonathan Kay article, but we’re willing to make an exception when it involves an amusing anecdote about one Gary Schipperfrom the bonehead days of yore. Schipper was a prominent figure in the Heritage Frontback when the organization was still relevant, and was well known as the voice of its anti-immigration telephone hateline. In 1993, the CHRC filed a complaint against the HF for inciting hatred and ordered it to cease recording hate messages until the CHRT’s ruling – an order which was promptly ignored and resulted in contempt chargesagainst Schipper and fellow HF members Wolfgang Droege and Kenneth Barker. Several months later, a militant ARA demonstration outside Schipper’s Toronto house culminated in violent attacks on anti-racists at Sneaky Dees bar. That incident resulted in a number of assault charges against HF members and significantly contributed to the organization’s (and Schipper’s) steady descent into obsolescence. In 1994, Schipper was sentenced to two months for the contempt charges and has since kept a fairly low profile, though apparently his views have not evolved. Kay’s June 22 article entitled "My educational night at the ER with weirdos, pill-poppers and a musical holocaust-denier,” describes a chance encounter with Schipper at the hospital:
A conditional stay has been granted to Terrence Cecil Tremaine, the former university lecturer accused of promoting hatred.
Tremaine appeared at Regina Court of Queen's Bench earlier this week, at which time B.C.-based lawyer Doug Christie and court services representative Graeme Mitchell advised Justice Peter Whitmore there are still issues with Tremaine's application for court-appointed counsel.
Christie was previously made court appointed lawyer for the purposes of Tremaine's preliminary hearing, and is now looking to be appointed for the trial - a date for which has yet to be set.
With issues regarding legal counsel yet to be worked out, Christie and Mitchell suggested Whitmore issue a conditional, or temporary, stay until counsel is in place and funded - a remedy that can be used under the charter to ensure an accused's right to fair trial is met.
Tremaine, a former math lecturer at the University of Saskatchewan, previously elected to be tried by a judge and jury. The case returns to court in mid-July.
Paul Fromm and his ilk often claim that they favor total freedom of speech (meaning the freedom to disseminate hate, but we shan't split hairs) as a rationale for why they oppose Sec. 13 as well as the "hate speech" provisions in the criminal code. He and his fellow travellers claim that a country administered by their values, among other things, would enshrine complete freedom of speech in the law for all white Canadians (the non-white Canadians having presumably been asked politely to leave Canada some time before).
And then you get what they honestly believe, as stated by John Marleau:
Talks are ongoing for a possible plea bargain in the case of a suspected white supremacist charged with assaulting a cameraman at an anti-racism rally, court heard Thursday.
This story is a few days old, but it was recently reported that on June 14th a transgender woman in Halifax had been shot in her apartment after answering the door to men who initially identified themselves as police officers. The victim, Chris Cochrane, reported that when she tried to shut the door after seeing that the men were not police, they shouted "let us in, tranny faggot, let us in," and fired several shots through the door, resulting in Cochrane being wounded in the arm. When the story broke, police, who had not yet spoken to the victim, dismissed claims that the attack was a hate crime. Cochrane has since been interviewed, but police continue to disagree that the incident meets the criminal code definition of a hate crime:
A few years ago a cenotaph in Woodstock, Ontario was spray painted with a swastika, A man, Christopher Saggau, was arrested when police looked at his cell phone and laptop and found sufficient evidence to arrest with an apparent likelihood of conviction.
Slam dunk.
Except they didn't seem to have followed legal procedures or respected the Charter, in which case more like an air ball:
We've learned from one of our sources that Kyle McKee was kicked out of his apartment recently. If this has occurred, we can only speculate as to the reason, but it likely doesn't take a genius to figure out that it could be related to his recent legal troubles and association with a group which might be considered to be a gang (or, as in the case of the apartment he shared with Nathan Touchette in Ontario before they both moved to Alberta, it could be that he trashed the joint).
More seriously, we have been provided unconfirmed information from at least three independent sources, one of whom is trusted by us, that McKee was assaulted and badly hurt this past Friday. At this point we have no idea who might have been involved if the incident occurred.
Finally, although this incident occurred a little more than a year ago, the story of an alleged prison sexual assault against a self-identified white supremacist came out in the news yesterday:
