CAFE has backed Mr. Lemire's decade-long battle against a complaint by Richard Warman and is intervening on his behalf in the Federal Court fo Appeal. Paul Fromm Director CANADIAN ASSOCIATION FOR FREE EXPRESSION Here in Canada, in the mid-1970s, the Jewish lobby began in earnest their surreptitious efforts to silence Canadians by working through Ontario’s then Deputy Attorney General, F.W. Callaghan. Callaghan, obviously pressured by Jewish groups who wanted to silence one of their critics, John Ross Taylor, began lobbying the Federal Department of Justice demanding the inclusion of speech-restricting legislation that removed the need for “willfulness” or fair comment based on public interest. ( See the following site for the full history of Section 13: http://www.stopsection13.com/history_of_sec13.html ( http://www.stopsection13.com/history_of_sec13.html )) According to Marc Lemire’s history of Section 13, “In 1976, the Federal Government was looking at a larger Act for employment issues and the provision of federally regulated services.” This Act eventually would end up with the innocuous sounding name: the Canadian Human Rights Act. Although no other section of the Human Rights Act covered speech, it was not a problem for the Federal government to capitulate [to the Jewish lobby. Ed.] and slip in an extra section to satisfy Ontario’s Attorney General’s lust to silence John Ross Taylor and his home-based answering machine.” In 1977 Bill C-25 or the “Canadian Human Rights Act” was passed by the House of Commons on July 14th. Contained within it under the sub-title of “Hate messages” was Section 13 which read: 13. (1) It is a discriminatory practice for a person or a group of persons acting in concert to communicate telephonically or to cause to be so communicated, repeatedly, in whole or in part by means of the facilities of a telecommunication undertaking within the legislative authority of Parliament, any matter that is likely to expose a person or persons to hatred or contempt by reason of the fact that that person or those persons are identifiable on the basis of a prohibited ground of discrimination. As Lemire goes on to state: “Only a few years after the law was enacted, Mr. Callaghan finally got his wish and John Ross Taylor became its first victim, with the Canadian Human Rights Commission itself and several professional Jewish groups [Canadian Holocaust Remembrance Association and the Toronto Zionist Council. Ed.] as the complainants. Since the law was first enacted, two major changes were made to Section 13. These changes fundamentally shifted the original intent of the legislation, and turned Section 13 into an instrument to financially and morally punish those with politically incorrect views. The first change to the legislation occurred on May 15, 1998, when Royal Accent was given to Bill S-5 (1998), which added a new penalty provision to the Canadian Human Rights Act. Bill S-5 added Section 54 to the Canadian Human Rights Act, and allows the Human Rights Tribunal to impose a financial penalty of up to $10,000. On top of the fines, Section 54 also gave the fanatical Tribunal the ability to impose penalties of up to $20,000 as so-called ‘special compensation.’ According to the background section of Bill S-5, these penalties were added “as a response to the rising incidence of hate crimes around the world. The government believes that stronger measures are needed to deter individuals and organizations from establishing hate lines. It hopes to accomplish this by allowing victims of such lines to apply for compensation and subjecting offenders to financial penalty.” The second change occurred in the aftermath of the terrorist attacks of September 11th 2001. Sadly, this legislation equated non-violent politically incorrect words – which are covered by Section 13 – with terrorism and concerns of national security. Under the guise of Bill C-36 – Canada’s Anti-Terrorism Act, Section 13 was expanded to cover “a group of interconnected or related computers, including the Internet.” This change, gave the power to Canadian Human Rights Commission to censor the internet and harass Canadians with views that the Rights Fanatics disagree with. [Emphasis added. Ed.] This change was made according to Preamble of Bill C-36 to allegedly ‘combat terrorism.’” _____________________________ Unsubscribe / Change Profile: http://ymlp295.net/ugmjhqsqgsgbbqgwqqgguewwmw Powered by YourMailingListProvider |

He faces jail time and, pending trial, is gagged. He is not allowed to write to any politicians or to send text messages or e-mail messages to anybody. Yes, that's happening in Canada, not Red China or Cuba or Iran! Canada's Stalinist judiciary gagging dissent by the back door and a largely wussy media is in cahoots with this censorship Tonight.

Mr. Love has served time in prison for the non-violent expression in writing of his political views. Amnesty International defines a political prisoner as a person jailed or persecuted solely for the non-violent expression of his political, religious or cultural views. Brad Love, to Canada's shame, perfectly fits the definition of a political prisoner _____________________________ Unsubscribe / Change Profile: http://ymlp270.net/ugmjhqsqgsgbbqgwqwgguewwmw Powered by YourMailingListProvider |
Persecution of Letter Writer Brad Love Continues -- 7 New Charges for Phoning or Writ |

You can read the original version online: http://ymlp336.net/z9D8JR -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Persecution of Letter Writer Brad Love Continues -- 7 New Charges for Phoning or Writing Political Messages Pinch yourself hard! The following outrage comes NOT from Red China or some dictator-for-life hell hole in Africa but from right here in Canada. On Monday, May 13, former political prisoner (18 month sentence under Canada's notorious "hate law" in 2003 for writing non-threatening letters to MPs and other public officials) Brad Love was arrested by the RCMP in Fort McMurray and charged with seven counts: four of harassment and three of sending "scurrilous" material through the mail. Mr. Love, 54, an oil-patch worker who boasts he puts in 84 hour weeks and resents having half his paycheque seized to pay for foreign aid, foreign wars for Israel and assistance to poorly screened immigrants, was freed on $2,000 bail. However, a Justice of the Peace imposed the type of bail conditions similar to parole conditions that have kept Mr. Love gagged for almost a decade. In this computer age, he is not to e-mail or send text messages to anyone, he told CAFE in an exclusive interview. Furthermore, he is not to contact any politician and can use the mails only for personal and necessary correspondence. [Many prisoners inside have greater communication freedoms than Mr. Love.] Mr. Love's supposed crime? This in-your-face opinionated man frequently calls or writes to the local media and blasts them for not covering certain stories. He called local talk jock Nic 'the Beard" Lindsay at K-ROCK 100.5 FM who advertises himself as" pierced and tattooed" and specializes in boob jokes and Newfie comments. Mr. Love challenged the outspoken Nic "the Beard" to say something like this: "He, all you oil workers freezing your butts off in this winter cold, did you know your government gave $23-million to Somalia today?" According to Mr. Love, Nic "The Beard" said he couldn't say anything like that or he'd be fired. Boob jokes, apparently, are okay. Despite seeking public input, K-ROCK doesn't appear to welcome Mr. Love's opinions and is one of the complainants. Another media outlet that apparently complained is the local newspaper Fort McMurray Today. Their web page invites the public to send in photos and stories. However, they, too, are one of the complainants. Another complainant is a local campaigner for OXFAM, who solicits help to dig wells for Africans. This cause incensed Mr. Love who sent the man a package of material and denounced OXFAM as "OX-scam." At a public gathering where the man and his son were promoting his cause, Mr. Love asked the son: "Is the world running out of water?" The son, according to Mr. Love "flipped out" and the father towering over Mr. Love demanded: "Are you Brad Love?" He now alleges he's "afraid" of Mr. Love. So, Brad Love expressed strong opinions on foreign aid and immigration. These seem to be outside the comfort zone of some wussy media types and the constabulary were called in. "I didn't know the home addresses of most of these complainers," Mr. Love reported incredulously, "until I got the bail conditions telling me not to contact the people at these addresses." At the bail hearing, the police, who preside over a city awash with drugs, opposed bail for the non-violent letter writer and telephone caller Brad Love. They said he had no ties to the community. Mr. Love was incensed and replied: "I live here and have worked here for seven years. That's longer than the police officers who laid these charges." [The RCMP are regularly shifted from community to community across Canada.] In an initial disclosure, one of the impugned items sent by Mr. Love to one media person was Paul Fromm's authoritative Canadian Immigration Hotline. The very vague news story reproduced below gives no indication that most of the complainers are media people, people in the public eye. It is also clear that it is Mr. Love's opinions that these thin-skinned media types which to suppress. Mr. Love, according to Fort McMurray Today communicated "racially motivated verbal and/or written correspondence, often containing extreme political views on a variety of topics including immigration laws." So, "extreme political views" can get you hauled into court and gagged in the meantime by a bail order. "Such is the state of freedom of speech in politically correct Canada and the media often lead the charge to silence dissenters," says Paul Fromm, Director of the Canadian Association for Free Expression and a long-time supporter of Brad Love's fight for freedom. "Brad Love is a victim of discrimination," Mr. Fromm charged. "he's the wrong sex, age and colour. He's one of the despised middle aged White guys. He's supposed to work hard, pay his taxes and just shut up until he can be replaced. But Brad is a scrappy guy with strong opinions. He hasn't threatened anyone. Now, if he were from a privileged minority, say a native radical, blocking a railway track in defiance of a court injunction, the police would be handing him a coffee, not charging him and trying to ruin his life." His next court appearance is May 27 and Mr. Love promises a vigorous fight against continuing state efforts to silence his dissident voice. "A Fort McMurray man is facing criminal harassment charges after several police investigations spanning several months came to a head. The investigations involved several individuals in the community receiving racially motivated verbal and/or written correspondence, often containing extreme political views on a variety of topics including immigration laws. While the investigation is still ongoing, enough information and evidence had been collected to proceed with charges." (Fort McMurray Today, May 14, 2013) Brad Love, 54, has been charged with numerous offences including criminal harassment, mailing obscene matter and harassing telephone calls. Love has been released from custody on bail and several conditions, and is scheduled to appear in court on May 27.
