Again? Yes, Again.
Blazing Cat Fur has the Story:
About 18 months ago everybody’s favourite Ex-Canadian Human Rights Commission employee Richard Warman launched one of his many, as in very many, SLAPP suits against yours truly for, among other dastardly deeds, linking to the “far-right web site http://www.steynonline.com/“. Sheesh everybody knows Mark Steyn is controversial.
It gets better. I’m also being sued for linking to a web site while specifically referring to “the allegations” against Richard Warman. But what else would you expect from Warman, a man so tone deaf he actually believed he could win the support of both the CJC and B’nai Brith in a hate crime complaint against the JDL, who dared offend him by showing the Geert Wilders film “Fitna”.
Warman is also suing for comments made by multiple readers. In one instance for the heinous crime of calling him a “Bully”. We all know what this SLAPP suit is really all about. Warman is using every lawfare tactic he can to prevent a discussion in the public interest of Section 13 (1) and the CHRC. A discussion in which he must feature prominently.Warman is suing me for $500,000.00 Dollars. A ridiculous amount for an equally ridiculous lawsuit. Nonetheless even nuisance suits such as this must be defended against. To date legal fees have run me about 10K. I’ve covered that from my own pocket. I am now asking for your help. I know times are hard for many of us but if every reader who visited daily were to contribute 5 or 10 dollars then that would go a long way to helping all of us out.
This is your fight too, well except for the lawyer stuff anyway;)

Thanks for your support! It’s much appreciated!
Not a problem. There is one right that I will never negotiate on and that’s the right to freedom of speech.
I wish you the best.

Canadian here. I agree completely. Wish we could change this.
I hear ya… It takes the people to do it. Don’t expect your Government to do it for you.
Hey, when I clicked the link on your site that read “Fuck Canada” it took me to a page titled “Fuck Canada.” I wonder if Mr. Warman will help me sue you!
From the ultimate source of truth, Wikipedia: Richard Warman is best known for his human rights activism against racists. He has referred to his campaign against racists as his “Maximum Disruption” approach:
That sounds, to me, like harassment-via-courtroom.
