Barbara Kulazska, Lawyer To The Canadian Far Right, Has Died. Memorial Event Tomorrow

The news can be found here.  As you can see at the site, a "memorial event" is to be held tomorrow at the Richview Library in Etobicoke.  Tributes will be given by such CDN Neo Nazi-types as Marc Lemire and Paul Fromm. Who knows who else will show up.   If you feel like contacting the library and telling them its a bad idea, their facility manager can be reached at 416-394-5120.

AHRC legal counsel Arman Chak, a frequent target of Sun News TV personality Ezra Levant over the years, has been elected to the BOD of the Alberta Law Society.  Ezra's encounters with the Society have been of another kind altogether.  So congrats Mr. Chak.

PS. Ezra's now thoroughly debunked anti-Muslim screed from last week has picked up a few "likes" from notorious Canadian racist Paul Fromm.

Your Daily Nazi: More Paul Fromm In The News

Good story, Joe Brean. No, no! You don't have to thank me. My fate is to labour in obscurity. I accept that.

PS. ARC challenges the notion that Fromm and the term "genteel" should be used in the same sentence.

Your Daily Nazi: Shame On CTV

There are many points you can argue over Canada's response to the Tamil migrants. But you really shouldn't, as CTV did, put Paul Fromm on national television (see vid through link) and let him spout off like he's a normal person. He isn't; here is what he is. And, more specifically, here's a nice little story from just a few days ago about Paul's protesting the arrival of the Sun Sea, with the freakin' Aryan Guard, in front of Jason Kenney's office, no less.

CTV has really screwed up on this one: at least some background on the man behind "Canada First" should have been provided; it isn't like he's an unknown quantity.

Well, There's Irony For You

Ann Coulter flees, but Doug Christie, "partially funded" by Paul Fromm, slips into U-of-O unnoticed. Unlike Coulter's organizers, I suppose, Mr. Fromm is smart enough to successfully rent a room.

And, come to think of it, Doug Christie sounds a little more coherent than Ann.

Paul Fromm Back In T.O.

From The CAFE newsletter:

BRINGING THE MESSAGE TO STUDENTS

Friday, May 29 was a warm spring afternoon in Toronto. CAFE Director Paul Fromm spoke to a receptive grade 12 English class in West Toronto on the topic of "Internet Censorship." Many of the students were genuinely shocked to learn that they did not have freedom of speech or opinion over the Internet. The teacher remarked on the near perfect attendance -- a real achievement for the speaker, given that this was the last class of the day on a sunny Friday afternoon (a good time to cut the last class and get a head start on the weekend.)

The things they're dragging into our classrooms today. A real Internet law expert, a real free speech advocate, was apparently unavailable.

The newsletter gives no clue as to which high school Fromm appeared.

h/t A.

With Friends Like These...

Maybe hard to read, but all from the FreeD Facebook page: Bill Noble, Paul Fromm, and Craig Chandler. Mr. Noble is probably wondering how he got stuck next to those to putzes.

Your Daily Nazi: Nazis Press For Passage Of Lemire Resolution (P-203)

Its out of the Plenary session and, maybe, headed to the floor. Now some of the big-wigs in Canada's Far Right community are trying to put the Lemire Resolution over the top.

Tomasz Winnicki is out there spreading the word, asking his fellow white supremacists to "E-mail Conservative MPS to repeal Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act". Trace the link back to Stormfront and you will find, if the site is working (it wasn't earlier), that the man behind this whole outburst of on-line activism is ex-Progressive Conservative Paul Fromm.

Go lads! Help land this hot potato in Stephen Harper's lap!

Update: a cached link to Mr. Fromm.

Canadian Nazis Cool To Mark Steyn!

Sure they support his right to bash dark skinned immigrants, but they're conflicted. For one thing, his last name apparently sounds a bit fishy. And of course there are those like Paul Fromm, who are a bit pissed that the Steyn's and Levants of this world--the far Right's elite class--didn't come to their aid during previous scuffles with the CHRC:

The neo-Cons are now being bitten in the butt. It looks good on them.

We've been warning of the gagging power of human rights censors for 20 years. Few would listen as long as the tyrants took on small defenceless and media-defamed victims.

I laugh at the consternation of some of these outraged neoCons. "But, we're not disreputable letter writers. We're 'respectable.'"

They don't get it. Censorship is like a narcotic. The bully and the thought controller is never satisfied. It was never about "hate".

It was about silencing anyone who dissents from the minority agenda.

Yesterday, it was Doug Collins, Ernst Zundel, Tom Winnicki and Terry Tremaine. Today, it is Rev. Boissoin, Bishop Fred Henry and Mark Steyn.

Wow! Mark Steyn's gonna join Ernst Zundel and Doug Collins in the halls o' history. It'll be just like Valhalla, but with more Nazis!

Toronto Lawyer Garry Wise has a couple of other excellent posts on this issue. Here he writes:

While the comments attributed to Steyn may indeed have offended certain sensibilities, Charter protection will clearly supersede any discrimination remedy.

I do want to note, however, taking the complaints at face value for the purpose of discussion only, that if the comments attributed to Steyn had been repetitively uttered in a workplace by an employer, rather than having been published online by a clearly legitimate journalist, there may well have a strong reason for a Commission to act on a complaint of racial toxicity and discrimination in the workplace.

It is the entitlement to press freedom, rather than any savoury quality of his expression, that will protect Steyn and Macleans.

Exactly, and personally, I would be more inclined to grant the Maclean's the right to print hate speech if they were willing to admit that that is what Steyn's column amounted to.

And here Mr. Wise agrees with me that Kenneth Whyte has led MacLeans steeply down-market into National Post territory:

...shall we just concede that the magazine is no longer to be considered journalism, and leave it at that.

Poor Andrew Coyne. Out of the frying pan and into the fire! I wonder how his wan elegance can hold up under the barrage of hacks schlepping ideological porn to the goobers?

Free-D Update:Free-D Owner Slams Jason Kenney For Not Backing Canadian Nazis

Jason Kenney, Canada's secretary of state for multiculturalism and Canadian Identity, is down on the CIC's (Canadian Islamic Congress) attempt to hold Macleans Magazine responsible for publishing the shitty fake journalism of Mark Steyn.


Connie Fournier, partial owner of a forum for "principled Conservatives ", Free Dominion, appreciates his efforts, but doesn't think defending the new, down-market version of MaCleans is good enough:

When we were attacked by the CHRC last summer, Jason was silent. When Paul Fromm was to speak in the Parliamentary Press Gallery about the injustice of the CHRC, Jason initiated a vote to ban him from Parliament Hill.

But now Jason is suddenly a heroic defender of free speech. I guess he just had to wait for a popular enough victim to come along before his principles could kick in.

Free Dominion, Paul Fromm, Mark Steyn and Macleans magazine. Together in shame.

Once Upon A Time, Macleans Wouldn't Have Stooped To Hiring A Freak Like Mark Steyn

Macleans is getting hauled before the B.C. Human Rights Commission because of an excerpt from Mark Steyn's "America Alone" that they printed in October. Apparently, according to some of their bloggers, good Canadians should be all upset over this. Free speech and everything.

What I am more upset about is that Macleans would descend to employing one of Conrad Black's sloppy seconds to fill up white space in an increasingly crappy magazine. Once a Canadian institution, old Mac under has now joined the Free Dominions and Paul Fromms of this world, and it isn't surprising that when you resort to printing the kind of low quality spew which Mr. Steyn so proudly emits, you're going to attract human rights complaints. Lie down with dogs, get up with fleas.

Macleans needs to decide whether it wishes to remain a mainstream publication, or an organ for Canada's far right.

As for the piece in question, well I suppose if you're a conservative and every war you've supported recently has gone down the crapper, it serves as a kind of ideological stroke book to get it up for the never-ending struggle against veiled voters and other menaces to society.

If Macleans plans to dabble in political pornography, though, why don't they go straight to torture pics from Abu Ghraib?
