Read the whole thing...

Use the link.

If this jackass can use the law to silence Free Dominion, someone else can do it here. Pay attention, folks.

Would you ping your “Canada” lists? Much obliged!

[TLI]

ping for later return, must have coffee now.

Pass it on.

[backhoe]

Appreciate your looking- I don’t need coffee, now- my blood’s boiling already...

OK, this is in Canada, and I freely admit that I don’t know much about Canadian law.

In the US, though, the line between ‘opinion’ and libel / slander is pretty wide. Where’s the line in Canada?

[Nextrush]

The ability to speak freely in Canada is constantly under attack.

This is but one example.

My understanding is that it is more like English law- the standard of proof is somewhat lower than American.

However, this jerk is largely basing his pending complaint on what others wrote, that he took umbrage with.

1. Accuses me of being the "Censorship Champion".

Well doesn't this lawsuit prove that?

Ottawa lawyer Richard Warman has become the bete noire of Canada's ne0-Nazis, writes Don Butler. "...he's a "professional complainer" and "devious character" who suppresses their freedom of speech."

Below is a link to a speech made by Warman to the ARA describing how he attacks the people that he goes after. It's kind of chilling.

This speech has already been used as evidence in a court case:

Many thanks- let’s see how this Law Jackal likes being exposed to public scrutiny and ridicule.

>>>>14. States that I counselled members of the group Anti-Racist Action group to commit an assault against David Icke because I didn’t agree with what he was writing.

>>>>>15. States that I have threatened the safety of other people on many occasions.

If proven as false, could be a problem.

My pleasure.

If Free Dominion has the same disclaimer as FR at the bottom of each screen, and assuming that the words were posted as part of an article or as comments by posters, then I would think that he could sue only to have the posts removed. But I am not a lawyer in either the US or in Canada.

The phraseology and flow of conversation should also matter, in that they may indicate that the comments were opinion. But again, I am no lawyer.

JMHO.

I notice that this man, Richard Warman, is a "barrister and solicitor." I conclude that this man is so full of himself that he sends his shirts out to be stuffed. He's like the Administrative Law Judge from D.C. who filed a $54 million law suit over a lost pair of pants.

Richard Warman is a public joke. Maybe he will never get the joke. But I hope his solicitors read this thread, realize that their client is a pathetic loser, and drop him like a hot rock.

I say that as a "barrister and solicitor" for forty years, who has occasionally dropped clients who were self-desctructive and just plain embarrassing to be around.

LMAO! Thanks!

How true. Reminds me of the Muzzies saying that they are the religion of peace and if you don’t like it we’ll cut your head off.

[backhoe]

Always good to "see" you, John, and I value your comments.

I suspect this little popinjay won't like the attention he is going to draw from this ill-considered action.
