Even political enemies should show respect for the dead. That respect, however, needn’t result in an inappropriate exaltation of one who damaged the world as much as Norman Bethune did. Many of us have made mistakes in our lives; we have said and done things we later wish we could unsay or undo. I don’t know whether Norman Bethune ever gained enough understanding of the world to regret helping Mao Tse-Tung conquer China and unleash the slaughter of 60 million Chinese. But I regret that a Canadian should have been a supporter of that slaughter.

More frights from the human rights people
By Ezra Levant
The Alberta Human Rights Commission is at it again. The latest embarrassment from this out-of-control government agency is their gift of tax dollars to a group called “Racism Free Edmonton.” It’s an ironic name, because the world view of Racism Free Edmonton is racist itself. The Alberta Human Rights Commission is a specialist at the Orwellian perversion of language. Their counterfeit “right not to be offended” has meant the infringement of real rights, like freedom of speech.

Conservative movement in Quebec is rising
By Peter Stockland
As usual, Calgary author Ezra Levant said it best without perhaps fully appreciating the significance of what he’d just said. “The average age would not be 25 for a right-wing event in Alberta,” Levant told about 500 conservatives gathered in Quebec City last week for the founding meeting of the Reseau Liberte Quebec (Quebec Freedom Network). “I feel like an old man.”

Gay-bashers thrive in modern-day Netherlands
By Ezra Levant, QMI Agency
If you think Amsterdam is the gay capital of Europe, you’re half-right, but 10 years out of date. Today it’s the gay-bashing capital of Europe. Because Amsterdam isn’t just gay. Now it’s Muslim, too. A million Moroccans and Turks have immigrated to the Netherlands, and sharia law rules the streets.
A reminder to all those who would like to attend this event that there is only 1 day left to take advantage of the early bird pricing for tickets.
Also considering registering for their Immigration Symposium which is running the same day at the Crowne Plaza in Ottawa. Do not delay as tickets are selling fast!

Greenpeace not slick: Oilsands bashing ignores problems of other options for oil
By Ezra Levant
My new book, Ethical Oil, went on sale last Tuesday, and within three days no fewer than five different corporate lobbyists debated me on TV and radio. They told me I’m being too judgmental of oil companies, and that my attempts to measure the ethics of oil were a distraction from more important issues. And they ignored me when I asked them about their carbon footprint – jet-setting around the world.
There has been a flurry of activity regarding human rights commissions in the past week or so while I have been away. Some of it even appears to be positive, though appearances can be deceiving.
Richard Warman is one of the most dangerous men in Canada. He is one of the most principled enemies of freedom in this country, and he has learnt how to effectively use the anti-democratic Canadian Human Rights Commission against his enemies. He seemed invincible for a while, but then he started facing freedom fighters who refused to back down and be intimidated by a thug. A court recently awarded Connie Fournier, founder of the Free Dominion website, court costs from Mr. Warman. (Note the “pa” suffix in FD’s domain name because they decided to set up offshore because Canada has become a dangerous place for freedom advocates to operate.) Today, we learn that, in a libel case Mr. Warman himself launched against Ezra Levant, a Superior Court judge has ordered Mr. Warman to turn over “a laptop computer he used to create false personas on far-right websites, so that an independent expert can search it for evidence that Mr. Warman authored a racist comment against a Canadian Senator.
Why do humanists have to lie to prop up their system? Alright, stupid question!
Jennifer Lynch, the Chief Commissioner of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, has been through the ringer more than once in the past few years over her support for censorship and her zealous commitment to affirmative action, which she cleverly calls “equality.” Actually, she’s not that clever; most of today’s establishment actors hide their discrimination behind the language of equality, even using the term “equality of opportunity” in reference to its opposite, parity of outcome.
