Stirring it up again

The controversy surrounding former Canadian Human Rights Commission (CHRC) employee Richard Warman has a familiar ring to it. Warman has been accused of logging onto web sites and writing inflammatory statements to goad people into making similar remarks. Actually it’s worse than that. He’s accused of planting hateful statements and then using those as evidence in CHRC complaints against those who operate the web sites—in other words, fabricating evidence to convict people. Warman’s CRHC convictions then become part of the justification to suppress political debate through the use of hate laws and human rights legislation.
