Ezra Wriggles Free?

I missed this. Last Wednesday LFR contacted Michael Vachon, a representative of George Soros, to inquire about Mr. Soros' possible lawsuit against Ezra Levant and Fox News North. And...there's no news! "We are still evaluating if we will will pursue additional action," says Mr. Vachon.

I'm emailing Mr. Vachon today telling him that if money is an issue for Mr. Soros, I'm willing to send $5. If anyone else wants to pitch in, send your money to me and I'll make sure it gets passed along.

I, Sir, Am A Wiggly Worm, Sir...

The Sun grovels before Soros on behalf of Ezra. The most interesting bit:

Upon receiving a letter of complaint from Mr. Soros’s legal counsel on September 13, 2010, Sun Media Corporation always intended to publish a retraction and apology for this column. Despite constant efforts on both sides, Sun Media and Mr. Soros’s counsel were unable to reach agreement on the content of a retraction.

Wonder if that means the suit is still on? In any case, their doesn't look as if there was much negotiating to be done. Sun Media's abasement seems utter:

The management of Sun Media wishes to state that there is no basis for the statements in the column and they should not have been made.

Sun Media, this newspaper and Ezra Levant retract the statements made in the column and unreservedly apologize to Mr. Soros for the distress and harm this column may have caused to him.


When you think of Ezra, think of the phrase "there is no basis for the statements", and everything will become clear.

PS. Some speculation as to whether the suit might still be on. Sounds like it might be.

The Ez Gets The Message


This is what you see when you click on the link to Ezra's blog post "George Schwartz, the Jewish Nazi", in which The Ez slags off George Soros employing material from an article that has already been withdrawn in the U.S. and replaced with a statement acknowledging that Soros "in fact made no such comment." The original post is still available through google cache, and still probably defamatory.

Its the same article that the Ottawa Sun disappeared after receiving legal threats from Mr. Soros.
More background here.

What Did I Tell You?

Imp writes:

With respect to the Kory Teneycke departure, it is worth noting Richard Madan's CTV report last night that kind of rounds out the picture. The big tidbit there, which I couldn't find anywhere else, that George Soros is suing Quebecor for defamation, presumably for that Ezra Levant column earlier this month which is now nowhere to be found.

What I told you was, if Fox News North hired Ezra they'd be drowning in law-suits before the first broadcast!

Well he's writing for their newspapers again, and now we hear via Don Martin that that "ever-colourful" ""author"" Ezra Levant will have a show on the new network. What I want to know is: will he be forced to step down before he's hired?

PS. The column Fox News North disappeared can still be found on Ezra's website sporting the title "George Schwartz, the Jewish Nazi". I won't link to what may be defamatory material, but if you're out there, Mr. Soros, tell your lawyers they still have some legal disinfectant to apply.

Non Un-Defeat Has A Million Fathers

Not content with claiming they took down Edmonton-Strathcona MP Rahim Jaffer, the George Soros' funded group Avaaz are saying they stopped a Tory Majority!

Dear friends,

A few weeks ago, Stephen Harper was headed for a majority government and 4 years of unchallenged control over our country and our environmental policies. Coming together like never before, 63% of Canadian voters stopped him. And that's just the beginning. It was close, so every bit of effort mattered. In just the 2 weeks before election day, Avaaz members rallied to run full page newspaper ads and hundreds of radio ads across the country, raised over $135,000 in a few days, produced a song from top Canadian artists that played on radio stations across the country, helped get over 400,000 Canadians to receive voting guidance from voteforEnvironment.ca, and took over 15000 pledges to vote strategically in close races.

Not sure I would give them that much credit, but Avaaz did inspire a nasty news release from the John Baird campaign. Way to go folks, you made 'em look!
