I watch the actual hearing and thought that Steyn and Levant did an excellant job Please also Liveblog when (if) the CC Lynch appears as she and DND may have some trouble explaining some of the actions of staff and ex-staff away. She may need that Seeing Eye Horse.

Steyn and Levant will be there so please do a Liveblog. If Lynch shows up = a CIRCUS. Talk about non-confidence.

Who is forcing you to read them?

I think if you combine this article along with that of Steyn and Nancy MacDonald in the September 21/09 issue - you might see the light (someday).

They (plus Lemire) for having the tenacity to DARE fight back has in a small way helped restore Freedom of Speech into a Canadian context. The man in the picture got described as"The bravest ever Canadian ever" in a puff piece in the Ottawa Citizen in 2007 but the halo appears to have become a bit tarnished in the Lustig ruling and even more in Warman v.Lemire by Hjais. And even more so for the intervenors who witnessed the antics and tactics, stood by and did NOTHING. While they are demanding an APPEAL, no where have they apologized for allowing this travesty of justice to occur under their watch. That includes the AG! But to the CHRC officers and managers - have any been disciplined, dismissed or otherwise counselled? Has an internal inquiry been convened to see what other "infractions" were commited - how many other racist posts were posted by employees and ex-employees? Me thinks not. But thanks Macleans for having Steyn as a contributor. I renewed my subscription again. Perhaps next have Levant join the team?

There are some others he might have querried (bloggers and commentators) that retain residence in Canada but work in the USA. Jamie Glaslov (FrontPage mag?) for one. They use every opportunity to criticize Canada but have no qualms about living in it and accessing the social benefits.

Talk about real ugly before you try and lecture anyone ese.

It is ALL about funding any special interest groups, advocacy, ethnic or religious groups etc. As a taxpayer - I would rather my $$$ going to help those in need. SHE made a gross error in judgement and is not deserving of public trust.

Steyn has made MacLeans into a weekly well worth subscribing to - have now renewed my subscription. He has an inate ability to cut to the chase and reflect what ordinary americans and Canadians actually think and believe. Several bloggers like The Blazing Cat Fur, Jay Currie and Ezra Levant provide more insight into politics than canwest ever did.
