“Eliadis can be summed up best by a single line in her Montreal Gazette defence of HRC’s:

“‘Are Levant and Steyn hatemongerers? Maybe not. But no one has decided that.’

“Putting aside the detail that there is no such word as ‘hatemongererer’, just gaze in wonderment at the sentiment here: Steyn and me aren’t innocent until proven guilty. We’re guilty until proven guilty, in an HRC with a 100% conviction rate.

“Perhaps I’d be better off with an alderman as an HRC tribunalist than with a ‘human rights lawyer’ who doesn’t even accept the ‘Golden Thread’ of common law: that a man is innocent until proven guilty.

“It’s all just another way that human rights commissions violate our Canadian standards of justice.”
