Thanks to everyone who's written letters to the Canadian Human Rights Tribunal requesting that the March 25th hearing into the activities of the CHRC's "human rights investigators" not be held in camera - ie, in secret. Maclean's has decided to take things a step further. On Monday, counsel will file a motion requiring that Charlie Gillis, yours truly and other Maclean's staff be admitted to cover the proceedings on the grounds that the Canadian Human Rights Commission and Tribunal are subject to the same rules of openness as any other Canadian court.

This gets to the heart of the issue: Is the secretive, self-protective "human rights" apparatus part of the Canadian legal system and its Common Law inheritance? Or is it, in fact, above the law, and a law unto itself?

Meanwhile, I note that Keith Martin, MP, seems to be moving from proposing a fairly narrow repeal of Section 13 (i) to something closer to a full-scale review of the "human rights" system. Many of us have made the same journey in recent months: the more you look into this racket, the more you repelled you are by its modus operandi.

STEYNSUITS

SECTION 13 REFORM IS OFF THE AGENDA: So says Xtra (warning: contains scenes of hirsute gay men, and scenes of immense parliamentary inactivity) - plus: Deborah Gyapong swings by the courthouse to see Vigna vs Levant in the silliest of the Canadian "human rights" lawsuits (background here); Kathy Shaidle weighs in on Tarek Fatah vs Wafa Sultan: Point and counterpoint. (More here.) Also: David Solway on Geert Wilders - and the Binksmeister is back!
