Just read your link, I should have read it first. A big hitter is indeed gallant Ezra Levant. Hauled before the dreaded Human Rights Commission Tribunal, he bested them. A private citizen standing almost alone, before a government funded inquisition. He beat them, but their "victory" would be in the incredible cost to him financially.

I believe 100,000 dollars in legal fees. In this way, even although the HRC "lost". They strike fear into anyone hauled before them. Everyone knows what happens if one goes into something of that nature, without a lawyer. Ann has a very able man there, in Ezra Levant.

The head of that student org., Seamus Wolfe, trying to stop Coulter from speaking sounds like a proper little fascist. Apparently he doesn’t agree with Voltaire. Maybe Goebbels would be more to his liking.
