“It really is hilarious watching Bernie dip his toe into the river of real public opinion …”

“…and have his leg torn off by crocodiles,” writes Jay Currie.

And for fun, pop over the National Post’s Full Comment where Bernie Farber comments on Kevin Libin piece on censorship and has his head handed to him in the comments. I mean the poor bastard even has redacted letters from the chekists at the CHRC thrown at him.

Ezra Levant adds:

National Post online today has this interesting story by Kevin Libin about Internet censorship, mentioning a failed attempt by Bernie “Burny” Farber of the Canadian Jewish Congress and Richard Warman [The Guy Who Is Suing Us], Canada’s self-appointed Censor-General, to shut down Internet websites they didn’t like. They had applied, ex parte — that is, with no notice given to anyone on the other side of the argument — to the Canadian Radio-Television and Telecommunications Commission to simply order Canadian Internet companies to ban a website that they didn’t like, and to set up a process where they could do the same thing over and over again.

Burny wasn’t asking for permission for any discussions. He was asking the CRTC to ban websites he didn’t like, and that, maybe, Internet companies could complain about it after the fact. And look at that last part: he was asking for the CRTC’s censorship to be “mandatory”.
