If you aren’t part of the solution, you’re probably a lawyer

January 16, 2008 By admin

Unless you’re Iain Benson:

“There is a steady and growing group of people in Canada concerned with the kinds of things that human rights tribunals and Commissions do in the name of human rights. Along with Alan Borovoy, Canada’s leading civil libertarian, I believe that human rights tribunals are going well beyond what they should be looking into.

“They pose an increasing threat to the exercise of genuine civil freedom.You are, with respect, naive if you do not see the threat to genuine freedom of expression, the press and other fundamental freedoms from challenges such as this one to Mr. Levant…”

“We need more people with the courage to challenge error where it appears and fewer lawyers who are insufficiently informed about what is going on in Canada.”

etc.
