Mohammed Elmasry is trying to silence Mark Steyn under Section 7 of the BC Human Rights Code
Also, don't miss the fact that Steyn, via his publisher, can be effectively banned for life from writing on the relationship between Islam and the West:
Remedies
37.
(1) If the member or panel designated to hear a complaint determines that the complaint is not justified, the member or panel must dismiss the complaint
(2) If the member or panel determines that the complaint is justified, the member or panel
(a) must order the person that contravened this Code to cease the contravention and to refrain from committing the same or a similar contravention,
Maybe you think the BC Human Rights Code needs to be changed to make it clear that unelected bureaucrats have no business passing judgment on our free political, or any other, speech. Maybe you think the criminal code provisions against hate crimes, and the due process of criminal law (unlike the operations of the Human Rights Tribunal), is the only law we need in this regard. Well, why not write Gordon Campbell, the Premier of BC, and let him know: premier@gov.bc.ca
Or, write your MLA
Even if you're not resident in BC, write Premier Campbell. Sometimes one has the impression he is more impressed by what Americans, Asians, and Europeans think of us, than of what we provincials think.
