2» Free Richard Moon
      Tue, 07 Sep 2010 21:50:52 -0700

Could it be true? That a human rights complaint has been filed against none other than Richard Moon, law professor at the University of Windsor and hired gun for the Canadian Human Rights Commission?Could it really be that the good professor is accused of both racism and sexism, based on his campaign to scupper the career of a woman of colour -- a campaign spurred on by Moon's wife?What a nightmare for him. Even if he wins, he loses. Mind you, unlike me, I'm sure his (and his wife's) legal bills will be paid for by the university. Still, he's about to learn, first-hand, what a show trial is like from the inside.Gentle reader, do not gloat. It might be tempting to smile at the fact that Moon, who has tried so hard to defend the legitimacy of human rights commissions, is now getting the kangaroo treatment himself, and at the hands of Barbara Hall, no less. But schadenfreude is unbecoming. Just because Moon believes politically correct hunter-killer bureaucrats


3» There is a country out there that is happily taking thousands of Tamil refugees
      Mon, 06 Sep 2010 23:27:07 -0700

I bet you didn't know that (I didn't). I wrote my Sun column about it today:Tamils on the reboundGreat news: There is a country in Asia willing to take Sri Lankan Tamil refugees by the thousand with the United Nations seal of approval.And theyre already doing it. In the first six months of 2010, the UN High Commissioner for Refugees says the generous country accepted 1,857 Tamil refugees from Sri Lanka, who had been staying temporarily in India.UN refugee spokesman Michael Zwack says these Tamils are now rebuilding their lives. The UN quoted one Tamil refugee, a 39-year-old woman, who said she was pleased with her new home for a pretty good reason: Peace.So where is this wonderful place that Sri Lankan refugees are going to by the thousand?Sri Lanka.


4» George Schwartz, the Jewish Nazi
      Sat, 04 Sep 2010 22:50:29 -0700

Have you ever heard of a Jewish Nazi? My new Sun column:Moral hollowness at workGeorge Schwartz was born in Hungary in 1930 not the luckiest time and place to be born a Jew.Georges father Theodore tried to change the familys fortunes by changing their name to something less Jewish-sounding. It didnt help. And soon war came.When the Nazis took total control of Hungary in 1944, the Holocaust followed. In two months, 440,000 Hungarian Jews were deported to death camps.To survive, George, then a teenager, collaborated with the Nazis.First he worked for the Judenrat. That was the Jewish council set up by the Nazis to do their dirty work for them. Instead of the Nazis rounding up Jews every day for the trains, they delegated that murderous task to Jews who were willing to do


5» Boycott The Gap
      Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:44:52 -0700

My new column for Sun Media:Gap in credibilityWalgreens is the largest pharmacy chain in the U.S.It's also corrupt.For years, they secretly altered their customers' prescriptions, without their doctor's knowledge, in a giant insurance scam across 42 states. They targeted Medicaid, the program for low-income Americans. So they were stealing from taxpayers and the poor at the same time. That kind of big thinking is why Walgreens is number one.Walgreens replaced inexpensive drugs with drugs that were up to four times more costly. Only when an honest pharmacist finally blew the whistle on them were they stopped -- and fined a whopping $35 million.Are you ready to take moral lessons from Walgreens? Because they've just announced that they're switch


6» How Australia's socialist government handles Tamil boat people
      Sat, 28 Aug 2010 23:49:56 -0700

Australia's a lot closer to Sri Lanka than we are. How does their socialist government handle Tamil boat people? Here's my new Sun column on the subject:No refuge Down UnderHeres a warning for bogus Tamil refugees made by the Australian Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, just before she called an election last month:Do not pay a people smuggler, do not risk your life, only to arrive in Australian waters and find that you are far, far more likely than anything else to be quickly sent home by plane.Gillard does more than just talk tough to Tamil gatecrashers.Australia is now in negotiations with East Timor, New Zealand and the United Nations about setting up a regional processing centre where intercepted ships will be taken.Arriving by boat would just be a ticket back to the r


7» The bully of Clarington
      Mon, 23 Aug 2010 23:12:18 -0700

Usually I write my columns based on news reports that are in the public domain already. But for today's column, I did a fair bit of reporting myself, calling most of the people involved in the story. That included a call to the most belligerent bylaw officer I could imagine, in the town of Clarington, Ontario. He positively boasted to me on the phone about what he had done to the Jaworski family, and what he was planning to do to them still. It was shocking -- and a symptom of a government that no longer sees itself as a servant of the people, or even a policeman to the people, but as an antagonist of the people. The citizens are not the boss in the mind of this man; they are the enemy. He seemed to have a personal mission to harass the Jaworskis using every tool in his large book of laws.Embarrassing; enraging; frightening. Here's my column:Bureaucrats leav


8» 71% of Tamil "refugees" go back to Sri Lanka for holidays
      Sun, 22 Aug 2010 00:14:47 -0700

Here's my new Sun Media column on massive refugee fraud in Canada:Tamils playing us for foolsHow bad is life back in Sri Lanka for Tamil refugees?Are they tortured? Do they have a well-founded fear of persecution?Are things so bloody bad over there that we have to let a boatload of them into Canada, just because they showed up?Thats what were told by immigration lawyers, bleeding heart politicians and fashionable journalists who dont believe Canada should have any borders at all.But what about actual Tamil refugees here in Canada? How bad do they think life is back home?As QMIs investigative report shows, 71% of Tamil refugees here in Canada think things back in Sri Lanka are good enough that theyve gone back home f


9» Superior Court of Justice: Richard Warman must hand over his computer for inspection
      Thu, 19 Aug 2010 23:22:11 -0700

It's been months since I've given a report about the nuisance SLAPP lawsuits that Canada's illiberal censors have unleashed against me. As longtime readers will know, I was targeted by Canada's Orwellian human rights industry back in 2006 when they falsely prosecuted me for publishing the Danish cartoons of Mohammed in a magazine, and I dared to fight back instead of go meekly.Those bullies dropped the cartoon prosecution against me (after 15 government bureaucrats and lawyers dined out on me for 900 days), leaving me with $100,000 in legal bills. (Thank you for helping me pay that bill, dear reader.) But then the most aggressive members of the human rig


10» Did I mention that I'm on Twitter?
      Wed, 18 Aug 2010 01:55:22 -0700

Twitter is a micro-blog -- you have to write everything in just 140 characters. So not much more than I've written here already.It's a great way to make quick comments on the passing news, and to share website links. It's also a great way to follow newsmakers of your choosing -- really, it's about setting up your own constant newswire. It's like following a stock ticker, but only about things you care about, whether it's news, sports or friends.I've only been blogging a couple times a week lately (I promise to do more!), but I manage to write a half dozen Tweets a day.Follow me if you like. I'm at www.twitter.com/ ezralevant. Twitter is great for cell phones and BlackBerries on the go -- that's when I do most of my Tweeting.
