THE MACLEAN'S VERDICT
"HUMAN RIGHTS TRIBUNAL MAY NEVER LIVE DOWN EMBARRASSING STEYN FIASCO"
The Vancouver Sun's Ian Mulgrew sticks it to the 'roos - plus Sean Berry rummages through the "human rights book report", while Deborah Gyapong wonders whether their Marsupial Majesties have fatally weakened the concept of "Islamophobia", and Kathy Shaidle establishes her credentials as expert witness in the next trial. Pete Vere talks to Wendy Sullivan and Mike Williams about the Steyn verdict and his new book on Canada's "human rights" racket, The Tyranny Of Nice. The Vancouver Province has a somewhat belated report, and there's much more here.

BLOWN OUT OF PROPORTION

On the eve of November's potentially historic vote, it seems appropriate to look back a decade when, in the midst of one or two little difficulties, Bill Clinton was proclaimed "the first black president". This column is from The Spectator: And on it goes: a vote to inquire into impeachment, followed by a...
