Efterhånden er der kommet mere pressedækning på chefredaktør Ezra Levants kamp i The Alberta Human Rights Commission, men langt fra tilstrækkeligt.
En canadisk tv-kanal TVO har lagt et godt interview på nettet. Ezra Levant interviewes af Steve Paikin til programmet The Agenda. Varighed ca. 1 time. Man kan eventuelt springe debatten over og nøjes med interviewet på ca. 20 minutter. Videoen starter HER.
Jan. 21: Ezra Levant | Free Speech, Hate Speech, and Human Rights Commissions
Free speech or hate speech: former Western Standard publisher Ezra Levant on his fight with the Alberta Human Rights Commission over the magazine’s publication of the Danish Mohammed cartoons.
Canada’s Human Rights Commissions: a necessary part of our justice system or meddlesome political entities?
Desuden video på 5½ minut fra Glenn Beck på CNN.
Dele af høringen foreligger på video og kan ses HER nederst i posten. Der er 9 videoer i alt med en samlet varighed på ca. 35 minutter.
Endelig har jeg fundet en flot artikel af Ezra Levant i The Globe and Mail:
What a strange place Canada is

Special to Globe and Mail Update - January 21, 2008 at 12:32 AM EST
A few days ago, I was interrogated for 90 minutes by Shirlene McGovern, an officer of the government of Alberta. I have been accused of hurting people’s feelings because, two years ago, I published the Danish cartoons of Mohammed in the Western Standard magazine.
Ms. McGovern’s business card said she was a “Human Rights Officer.” What a perfectly Orwellian title.
Early in her interrogation, she said “I always ask people … what was your intent and purpose of your article?”
It wasn’t even a question about what we had published in the magazine. It was a question about my private thoughts. I asked her why my private feelings were of interest to the government. She said, very calmly, that they would be a factor taken into account by the government in determining whether or not I was guilty.
Officer McGovern said it as calmly as if I had asked her what time it was.

Many Canadians are clueless about what’s happening to their country. It’s a shame.
