  • This is the current PC government who has promoted and encouraged the expansion of these kangaroo courts. Get the Wildrose in and they will be gone.

  • This is terrible, but I couldn't listen to all of it. I felt bad for her, and had to stop. I don't agree with Mr. Levant completely, but in this case he is utterly in the right.

  • whats wrong with that woman/bitch?

  • Let's say they were dealing with someone who actively told people to kill muslim citizens. Printing in papers that they should be killed and he would provide the guns for anyone interested? Now Ezra wasn't doing anything like that - so his case would be closed and it's that simple. The HRC is there for situations like that, they however must check every complaint - maybe the answer is to make the criteria for starting an investigation more specific, so less time is wasted on things like this.

  • @scaryteri8 That's nonsense. Offering to help in the commission of a crime is...well, a real crime. The HRC is here for things that aren't crimes, so the police won't investigate them.

  • @darwinkilledgod That's what I was saying, what Ezra did was NOT a crime at all, and didn't need an investigation, but I do believe that having a department within our government that monitors individuals and corporate interests in their respect of basic human rights, that is still a good thing. But I'm talking about serious abuse of human rights, where people are being deprived of personal freedom in the literal sense. Those kinds of things still go on, even in Canada, HRC needs an overhaul.

  • @scaryteri8 I think you're missing my point. Here's my challenge. Name something that is: a) not a crime that the police would investigate, and b) is something we would want the HRC looking into.

  • @darwinkilledgod You know what? You're probably the first person on a youtube comment thread who actually said something that I had to stop and chew over for several days. And here's the best part - I believe you have changed my mind, you are right. I could not really come up with a human rights violation that couldn't be handled by a Labour Board, a court, or other institution we already have. If HRC needs to go, then the answer must be that the rest of them need to do their jobs better.

  • @scaryteri8 You are very kind, thank you. It's not everyday that I actually make progress on an argument, so thank you very much.

  • Comment removed

  • "my contempt is very deep for the human rights commission" :D

  • cant believe it!

    what the fuck!

    this is Kafka!

  • hi

  • "There are those cases... blah blah blah." What kind of idiotic justification or consolation is that? You could get the same result by flipping a coin. High standard!? WHAT standard? Bullshit!!

  • The thugs' wearing a wedding band!!!!!!

  • Thought crimes. Reality, not theory.

  • Well as least she has the proper last name.

  • i would kill myself if i found out this was happening in America

  • @MrPhantom1028 Man how do you know that it's not happening?

  • Its like having to go down to that typical bitchy principal for something you didn't do, only to give her a verbal punch to the face!

  • Bureaucrat cow - hilarious!

  • Hank Rearden would be proud. ""I do not recognize the right of this court to try me,"

  • in Canada insulting judaism and christianity is called free speech, while insulting islam is called hate speech.

  • its the same in all of the western world now. whiny pc clowns only force their values on ppl who they dont have to be afraid of. if they would do that to muslims, they'll probably end up getting stabbed. its ironic though, because they help their future henchmen to establish themselves in our societies. if they see that someone is no real threat they cry wolf, but if its someone who is a real danger to liberal values, they remain silent.

  • THE REDS ARE IN THE BED?

    VAN T BARFOOT

  • He just tears her all to pieces! That was funny how he had this bureaucratic little tramp stuttering, stammering and lying all over the board with her neutral bureaucrat speech......caught in lie after lie after lie.

  • This lady is out of her league.

  • Pwned.

  • Human Rights Commission getting owned! About time!!

  • These commissions need to be outlawed.

    Let the legal system dead with these complaints.

  • this is even funny or intelligent and further as nothing to do with what erza was talking about!

  • LOL

  • Its a difference to criticize or denounce somebody for unchangeable attributes like ur sex or the colour of ur skin or ur sexual orientation and to criticize somebody becuz of the norms he is clinging himself to and nothing else is a religion. To mix that up with racial hate against jews or blacks just supports the islamic notion that a muslim is unchangeable muslim and if he tries to he should be killed for this "apostasy". Interesting paralel of mindset...

  • brad, u spel inglish rel gud!

  • shes trying to get ezra to give up there and end it, because she knows shes beat.

  • You're missing the point. He has the right to publish or not publish what he wants, just as you have the right to do so on a blog of your own.

  • Here is what Canadian Statesman Mr.Ezra said in U.S. Congress's bi-partisan human rights caucus on July 11, 2008.

    "Publish annual reports shaming foreign countries for their abuses of freedom of speech and freedom of religion. Put Canada on that list, to let our government know what they're doing isn't acceptable."

    Having regard to US legislative process,"Fixhist" feel moral responsibility not to comment on this issue any more.

  • That is an excellent idea! Publishing annual reports shaming foreign countries for their abuses of freedom of speech/religion. Adding Canada to list is a great idea. Ezra is a true Maverick.

    Did you know Maverick is derived from Yiddish :) Yiddish lives :)

  • If you let the HRC do an ATM on you then they let you off at the reporting stage.

  • READ THIS ANYONE WHO HAS A PROBLEM WITH EZRA-regardless of what was said by ezra or published in his magazine, his point is as follows...governments in a free society do not have the power to require citizens to answer to tax payer funded panels and inquisitions. This is fundamentally against the belief systems of free societies and echoes back to places in which free thought and expression were outlawed and curtailed. (nazi germany, soviet russia, communist cuba, communist north korea)

  • "Things can go either way..." - so the HRC can be gracious once and a while? Sick.

  • As a Canadian I am ashamed we still have these stupid Kangaroo Courts chilling free speech and press.

  • there's plenty of them going around.. only they are NOT publicized, even though, tribunals, arbitrations are OPEN to the PUBLIC.. they're ALL afraid that Canadian Taxpayers will find out just how much money is being wasted, and how they abuse their own policies and procedures at the expense of workers who are honest, have integrity and call them to the carpet for their actions.

  • Very interesting painting on the wall

  • Thier is not one single bit of hate speech within anything he has said.

  • Freedom of speech is a basic human right,as natural as call of nature.

    You need to exercise your right with basic control of when,where and what.

    Ezra's Danish caricatures were in subscription based magazine,Having said that would have been his best defense. Intent to publish is worst than,what he had done, so simple is that.

  • I DO defend the right to make hate speech, not hate speech, but the right to say it. No government has the right to stop its citizens from voicing their own opinion, as you would wish.

  • You have just incited hostility to Ezra Levant and Geert Wilders. I am going to have to ask you to stop this. You will be taken to a human rights commission. Good luck.

  • I have studied Islam for years, I agree with your synopsis but am of the same opinion that Islam is a constructed religion.

    There are some interesting studies available at the European Institute of Protestant Studies and also at sermonaudio dot com.

    I agree with you in regards to your other comments as well, it is a religion of infamy, violence and disrepute.

    I have read much of the Koran, it is a sickening tome.

  • Don't you have some women do beat up, some daughter to mutilate or slaughter honorably, or at least something to blow up?

    There is no way you come off in any way legitimate with your lack of brains. Go back to your hellhole and have some further classes in how to undermine western society effectively.

  • Yeh! Valinomycin, it is true in these days of globally connected real time media.

    You are right such crimes get informed world over in no time.

    Who would you blame for road accidents in North America when Popal had issued driving commandments?

    Should Christianity be blamed for 2/3rd urban newborns to be missing both parents?

    To be safe on facts 60% of your present urban generation is result of condom mishap and survived as unwanted(often on 20s ride on microwave plater)

    Ugly truth,too bitter!

  • //Who would you blame for road accidents in North America when Popal had issued driving commandments?//

    Who is Popal?

    And what the heck does "rid[ing] on microwave plater" mean?

    //2/3rd urban newborns to be missing both parents?//

    So you're saying 2/3s of all mothers fail to take their babies home from the hospital? Riiight.

  • I'm offended by your use of the term, "Riiight"

  • you should just do you own business i.e fucking pigs and camels like your prophet (Piss be upon him) did

  • yawn, yawn, wake me up when they`ve finished...........

  • No he didn`t

    He printed a story

    The Seething and Hating..OVER FREE SOEECH???

    Fascist are invading!!!

    Since when do hurt feelings count??

    You are free to hurt my feeling ..I DON`T CARE

    I`m big enough to handle it!!

    NO THOUGHT POLICE IN CANADA!!!!

  • the fact that you can - that you're ALLOWED to - say that he has "hypocrite zionist ideologies" means that you're very well able to exercise your own freedom of speech.

    try that in pakistan, and see how well that goes over.

  • What about all you Muslims in the Middle East shouting all those anti-Semitic and anti-American comments, that ACTUALLY INCITES VIOLENCE?

    So don't criticize Zionist ideologies until you take a deeper look into your own ideologies. I bet everyone really thinks that Islam is a peaceful religion when they saw those planes crashing into the twin towers.

    I have read the "motivational" letter that Mohamed Atta wrote, and after that I truly understood Islam.

  • Shut up you muslim scum. How dare scumbags like you come into OUR country and try to change OUR laws. Get out of my country you filthy retch.

  • There's no such thing as a freedom to not be insulted, you dolt. His freedom doesn't end because your feelings get hurt. You're the hypocrite, not him. He isn't spreading "Zionist" ideologies, and even if he was, so what? You're obviously just another bigoted, anti-Jewish Muslim.

  • I'm telling you people Islam will not stop till it conquers the west , subdue them or convert them its in the koran read verse 9:29, please people wake up

  • How could Ezra print the storie about the riots???

    Whithout showing the reason for the riots???

    This is a KANGAROO COURT!!!

  • GO EZRA GO!!

    stop thought police in Canada!!!

  • In other words, she is saying that they decide based on thier own view what is bad and good and convict people according to thier own political agendas. WOW, this is exactly what they did in soviet kangaroo courts.

  • Yes...They Want to be The Thought Police!!

    But Attempts Are Being Made to Squash These Stupid Thought Police...Right now in Canada

    Make no mistake this council is evil with it`s power

    And Important People Are Standing Up For Free Speach...Canadain Writer`s Need This To Survive!!

    We all do!!!

  • This vLoger (EzraLunat) has been in account "Last Login: 13 hours ago".

    Why he didn't care to respond to any of the 195 comments?

    total Views 23189 for now.

  • Exclusive release from Alberta Human Rights commission is required for these videos to be online.

    I've marked Ezralevant user "Report profile image violation".

    Just wanted to mention on record here.

  • Phattite

    Yet another cowardly censor of free speech oh and suprise surprise your a muslim.Gosh i would never have guessed that.

  • Wouldn't worry too much, pakistan just blocked you tube.

  • phattite--typical muslim filth--go to a country were there are no freedoms-i can name a few islamic countries for you--don't you have an embassy to burn or an infidel to behead?

  • Since, matter of caricature and resulting frustration and rowdy behavior of offended youth has caused problems in many muslim countries.

    Muslim countries may exercise their right to call Canadian diplomats in their countries for a brief,that they would not be welcome to stay

    If they share the same ethics as Mr.Ezra of Canada does.

    Addition of a line in diplomatic dossier may help,I guess.

  • There may not be any surprise,if registered members of Mr. Harper's party of Canada (w*ww* conservative*ca) and Mr.Geert's of Netherlands (Party for freedom, Partij voor de vrijheid) are denied entry in to any country with majority of people offended due to Danish Caricature saga. Entry ban can be life long.

  • only you muslims whine this loud--gee the US let that psycho from iran into the US but islamic countries refuse entry to people who disagree with islam in any way---what a wonderful way to live

  • Go Ezra Go!!!

  • Watched all the videos and concluded that Ezra did a masterful job of destroying the the "Gestapo" rep.

    Can't understand why 8elhaj states that Ezra is spreading his hypocrite Zionist ideologies. Wow how could you come to that conclusion watching these videos? The reason I know Ezra is a Jew is because he said so. But being a Jew is NOT synonomous with being a Zionist. 8elhaj better educate him or herself.

    I say GO, GO Ezra!!! We support you in your fight against this gov't injustice.

  • Cartoon plot, story makers, actors, activists, benefactors, personal response, impact on minority or majority based on the geopolitical situation, is nothing but chaos.

    While government law enforcement or Tax payer funded terrorism agencies might be on red alert due to implanted act of reprinting cartoons in Danish press.

  • Based on past experience with action and its reaction, result shouldn't be any different, than to linger on with fears of terrorism story. I think it is time to understand that, using books of Lord coni to straighten, waxing Canadian maple leaf, his books should be loaded along with Michael Moor's Canadian Bacon message. Surrender pronto or .....We'll Level Toronto.

  • Not in Canada it doesn't. Ezra's a lawyer and argues like a lawyer, not like a "Zionist". The only time Ezra mentions he's Jewish is when he discusses his synagogue being bombed by a Muslim. Freedom in Canada ends when you physically or financially harm someone, not when you insult someone or hurt their feelings. Don't expect us to change simply because you don't understand us and our laws. WE WILL NOT CHANGE FOR YOU. NOT EVER.

  • She's just doing her job...

    The problem is that her job description should not include compelling people to defend their free speech.

  • This is the Orwellian. Liberal Fascism at its finest.

  • This woman is the classic, self-righteous bureaucrat who destroys human rights...in the name of human rights.

    This whole process is a sad, dangerous joke.

  • This is where you and all your nutty buddies just don't get it. Being critical of Muslims who try to suppress his free speech or of a phoney human rights commission that's trying to take his rights away is not "touching" the freedom of others (whatever that means).

    It's not a crime (not yet, thank God) to express political opinions in the West. In the West, you have the right to yours, he has the right to his, and it doesn't matter one bit if you don't like his opinions. Get over it loser.

  • Don't even think about free speech being a crime! That's what these guys want; that and women becoming property. We need to fight this invasion of our way of life at every opportunity. I have yet to understand what their motivation is. Control? Power? We won't let them have either in North America. They are lunatics.

  • why didn't he report the human rights commission to the human rights commission for attempts of violation of freedom of speech ? LOL

  • Its ridicules I can write "Hail Hitler , Long live Stalin , Kill the jews , Death to infidels " Wherever and when ever it pleases me (note most of the Muslims are actually promoting intolerance). However if I make a harmless drawing I get a commission ? Yep welcome to cultural diversity the new Nazis.

  • Is this in Canada?

    Your kidding right?

    Trudeau is rolling over in his grave!

  • Trudeau was Canada's worst nightmare.

  • Oh, it is pathetic how that stupid, fat useless cow tries to justify herself by claiming that "we do find on both sides". The issue is that there shouldn't be any hearings over what people say in the first place. That fucking apparatchik cunt.

    -jcr

  • I think she would look great in a burkha.

  • Everyone I know wrote to the AHRC. I also wrote to the CRTC; on Feb. 2/08 CBC radio reported that supporters of MP Keith Martin's Motion to scrap Sec. 13(1) of Human Rights Act are "White Supremacists". I support Martin; it would put a stop to this crap. I resent being called a white supremacist; I am not racist; I am pro Freedom of Speech.

  • Hey Fixhist, fuck you. Fuck you all the way back to whatever muslim shit stinkhole you crawled out of.

  • I could really care less whether YOU respect Canadian fundamental freedoms. You clearly don't. Why not go back to a nation that has the same opinions you do on free speech.Saudi Arabia, Iran, take your pick. Here we value freedom of speech over whether some easily offended loser feels bad.

  • How can any good Canadian work for this fascist body? A quasi-legal body with the ability to enforce opinion!! Great kangaroo courts batman was that a picture of Stalin on the wall?

  • The Human Rights Commission was not created to protect white people, but only to strip them of their freedom of speech, which was the last civil right we had. Canadian people should show a little testicular courage, and join together to fight back against our newly formed police state. I am just a grandfather who is worried about the future of my family. To think they would have to live their lives in a police state has me worried.

    "It is starting to smell like communism in Canada".

  • This is NOT about Ezra or his ego. It's about the loss of freedom in civilized societies due to the actions of uncivilized people who don't know what true freedom is or for selfish reasons don't want it. He's fighting for all of us and we should be grateful. You may find him overzealous but he's right.

  • When Ezra printed the cartoons he was exercising his democratic right to Freedom of the Press. Now he's in the ridiculous position of having to fight for that right on behalf of Canadians, a right we thought we already had. We cannot allow newcomers to take away our freedoms; people died for them. We wouldn't want to live in the kind of society we would have without them. If Muslims don't want freedom, there are other places they can go. But we will never give up our freedom. Never.

  • Attention brendan714 - Unfortunately, very few Canadian's have enough testicular courage to fight our communistic government. Also, a very high percentage of our population are not even aware that thier freedom of speech has been stripped by them. We must try to educate Canadians about what is happening "at every opportunity". We can't be full of hate over this issue, but we must be persistant in our goal to educate people about what our government is stealing from us.

  • does anybody know what a Christian pastor and the related case is Ezra referring to?

  • I think he may have published some tracts from the Bible about homosexuality and was told this was unacceptable and had to stop.

  • Wow. Seeing these videos really makes me appreciate the court system we have. It is not perfect by any means, but it does limit the possibility of a ludicrous attempt at justice like this "investigation". Ezra, I hope you get convicted so you get a chance to argue your point in a real courtroom and help make some changes to our screwed up system.

  • It seems people just don't understand what cartoonist do. They make fun of things ! They make fun of me, they make fun of you, they make fun of people, politics, religion, etc... That is what they do !!!

    When they make fun of islam though, there seems to be big problems. Why ? What makes muslims so special ? People get with the program.

    .

  • I can't what good is accomplished in making light of anyone's religion as was done in the antiIslam editorial cartoons and is too often done in opposition to Christianity. It's boorish behavior accomplishing nothing, and only giving rise to hard feelings, social friction and, ultimately, violence. It's emblematic of the coarseness in modern society.

  • apeppink

    Because it is funny ! It makes people look back at themselves and say, "Ya that is pretty silly". -I mean that is what people should be saying.

    Its like "The Jeffersons" and "All in the Family" 1975. Some people were terribly offended by those TV shows. Yet a lot of people watched those shows and thought, "Do I really act like that ?". Through humor they seen in themselves what they didn't want to be.

  • "The Jeffersons" I loved watching that TV show.

    I'm revealing something about my age here. lol

    Here is a video clip from one of their shows. For anyone who might not know what I'm talking about.

    watch?v=SZAf2cIKNoY

  • So why not illegalize "making light" of people's politics? Their taste in clothes? Their manner of speaking? Hell, why not illegalize everything that could offend anyone? Either you argue for religious exceptionalism or you admit that this objection of yours has absolutely not merit at all.

  • No, it's emblematic of clarity and transparency being shone on the most backwards and barbaric Islamic elements in society, and it's mine and any anyones right so to do, get over it or start figuring out where Mecca is.

  • believe people are dumb enough to get sucked into appellations like that), a lot of them are pretty distressed and sad individuals, though men should certainly love one another personally and directly, e.g. as David and Jonathan did in the Bible, or as anyone can plainly see in observing close friendships between and among men. It's pretty obviously a beautiful, wonderful thing, as any true love is.

  • This guy is a jerk, but I'm thankful for his stance on the freedom of speach. It reminds me of Noam Chomsky defending the freedom of speach rights of some french idiot who denied the Holocaust, dispite Noam being jewish.

  • She is a typical Canadian P.C. bureaucrat: out of her depth. She will have a hard time with Ezra Levant but think about the private citizens that are bullied by these thugs.

  • My feelings were hurt, and therefor, my human rights were violated when ALL THE MAJOR NEWSPAPERS didn't publish the Muhammad cartoons.

    I'm thinking of filing a human rights complaint against all the major newspapers for NOT publishing those cartoons.

    Ooohhhh, I'm so hurt by all this.

  • I suspect that he offered his actual opinions on why he published the article at 1:20. He didn't want those opinions on the legal record (and therefore not on Youtube) because he's trying to test the maximum flexibility of the commission in order to set a precedent or to create a media storm.

  • why the cut at 1:20?

  • I accidentally omitted money, I mean taxpayer's money.

  • I cannot believe he is being brought before the Humans Right Commission. Don't they have better and more important cases to attend to then interrogating this guy? I'm shocked that taxpayer no less is being used to pay for that Saudi's guy defense (if I heard Levant correctly).

    This just further proves that Islam is intolerant of criticism and free speech. It seems some or maybe many Muslims feel that freedom of speech and criticism should only apply to them and no one else.

  • I read that the bill to the tax-payer is over $100,000 and this case has a long way to go before it's resolved.

    The imam wins either way: imam wins, he wins, imam loses, it costs Canada hundreds of thousands, he wins anyway.

    It's Disgusting! Where will this end?

  • this is killing Canada

  • GO EZRA!!!

  • I don't know what Ezra's broad political views are, but he's my new hero.

    This will blow up in the Human Rights Commission's face.

  • Hopefully. But if Canadians are as sheeplike as they've been up to this point, meekly acquiescing to all this bs, things don't look good.

  • He was hauled before the Human Rights commission to defend his rights because of a complaint by Syed Soharwardy. He didn't seek out this persecution, and he has every right and very good reason to film it so that his rights are not violated further.

  • Hey truthmonger63, look behind you! Its a 9 year old girl! lol! That got you looking did'nt it?

    Hey it must be cool to follow a childlover. Note: i said lover, not molester, because its' all subjective anyway. She probably liked it. Besides that was a long time ago and it was cool back then.

  • It appears that the HRC is being used as a tool to ensure that muslims feel respected. But what if muslims, as a group, need some sharp criticism in light of recent events. What if they as a group clearly feel contempt for other religions and ideologies while fighting tooth and nail for their own ideologies respect.

  • Its irrelevant whether Muslims are easily offended or not. Freedom of speech is more important than whether some loser feels insulted.

  • Well said. thank you!

  • Does the HRC consist of dupes and stooges for militant Islam, or is it actually under hostile foreign (Saudi) influence?

    I agree, this "Human Rights Commission" deserves only contempt, disrespect, and slight regard.

  • It sounds like the so called Human Rights Commission doesn't consider free speech and a free press to be human rights.

  • Tell me how can Free Education, Free Medical,Free dental for everybody besides government friends and family will destroy a country and i,ll take your word on it

  • DanaDurfReturns

    I can tell you how.

    IT ISN'T FREE someone is going to pay for it.

  • If the definition of fascism is a preference

    for authoritarian socialism over too much

    freedom in a western liberal democratic society,

    then the lady on the left is a fascist.

  • "Political correctness seeks to establish the domain of a single way of thinking and speaking. Its relativism creates the illusion that it has reached greater heights than the loftiest philosophical achievements of the past. It prescribes itself as the only way to think and speak - if, that is, one wishes to stay in fashion. Being faithful to traditional values and the knowledge that upholds them is labeled intolerance, and relativism becomes the required norm.

  • I think it is vital that we oppose this imposition of a new pseudo-enlightenment, which threatens freedom of thought as well as freedom of religion.... [R]elativism is a kind of new 'denomination' that places restrictions on religious convictions and seeks to subordinate all religions to the super-dogma of relativism."

    -Joseph Ratzinger, Without Roots: The West, Relativism, Christianity,

    Islam, p. 128.

  • "I published these for the most offensive reasons you can imagine." Yes!! I love this guy.
