Stephen Harper: Do your damn job

Ezra Levant was invited to join a conversation on CTV's parliamentary chat show, Power Play. The subject: Canada's so called human rights commissions.

But the Canadian Human Rights Commission was not willing to participate in a conversation it could not rig (via Blazing Cat Fur).

This evening, Jennifer Lynch, the chief commissar of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, tried to have CTV Newsnet kick me off their interview program Power Play, hosted by Tom Clark.

To their great credit, CTV refused to be bullied -- and it was Lynch who wound up off the show.

You can watch the episode here.

Lynch refused to appear on a show that included Levant in any way, let alone open herself to questions from Levant, a man who is better equipped to hold her and her office to account than any other Canadian citizen.

Failing (once again) to stifle Levant, she sent a proxy (also courtesy of our tax dollars) but only on the condition he not have to speak to Levant.

Stephen Harper: Conservatives will watch this hireling proxy, this lackey, this... bureaucrat try to weasel his way around the facts, around the decades long, systematic abuse of due process and of public office, and we will be reminded once again you have done nothing to stop it.

No, not just that. We will watch this sickening spectacle - a commissar sneering at an uppity Jew who has thus far escaped the government's net - and recognize it for what it is: Canada's soft fascism at work.

Not one of us is going to accept it.

Mr. Harper, assuming you will not to do your duty (and I fully assume you will not), I have a special place in my prayers for the outcome of your dereliction of duty. I hope that when you are run out of office - when you think yourself safe in some academic bastion in Calgary - that Jennifer Lynch comes after you on some trumped up hate charge. Then you will see how much the approval of the Canadian Establishment does to protect your liberty and just how much that human rights medal you won is worth in comparison with the freedoms your current office is meant to defend.

Mr. Harper, the human rights circle jerk is not your friend. We are. They do not respect you. We do.

Or at least we did.
