Back to Court For Lemire/Warman

Ex-Heritage Front leader Marc Lemire is appealing Judge Mosley's decision re his constitutional challenge of Section 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Act (the now repealed hate speech provision).  I have no idea on what grounds, as Lemire hasn't mentioned the appeal yet on his own blog.  In any case, here are the relevant court docs.

African Canadian Legal Clinic Asks To Intervene In Warman V. Lemire

The African Canadian Legal Clinic (ACLC) has applied for intervenor status in the judicial review of Warman v. Lemire. The full text of their written representations are here. Not too many surprises: they want to keep S.13, as it is "an invaluable and necessary tool in the legal system's anti-Black hate toolkit", albeit with "substantive and procedural modifications". It sounds like they want to remove S.54.1,the penalty provision, but also add a few clauses here and there:
Paragraph 44 in particular is sure to make a Speechy scream.

It is interesting, too, to read the ACLC's account of their need to make a case apart from the CHRC:

Finally, the representation refers a number of times to an affidavit by ACLC head Margaret Parsons. That can be found here.

Update: White supremacist Mark Lemire calls the ACLC "grievance hustlers".
