Ezra Levant: Shakedown

I attended a fund-raiser for Rod Bruinooge's EDA at which Ezra Levant was the keynote speaker. Somehow the lady at the event registration desk mistook me for Levant. I told her that Ezra is taller than me and a much better speaker. Today the folks at Bruinooge's office were kind enough to send me this proof of the former:



I just finished reading the pictured (and signed!) copy of his new book, Shakedown. It is a great survey of the whole topic of HRCs. Levant's forceful criticism of HRC abuses and vigorous defense of basic freedoms is easy to read and contagious. A lot of the book's material is familiar to those of us who follow his blog closely. But there are several cases that never featured on the blog, and which serve to bolster the argument he has made all along. As a matter of fact, they just make one even more disgusted at the incredible corruption of the HRCs and their obvious incompatibility with democratic freedoms.

Highly recommended. This book has to be read by many Canadians. The word has to get out that the HRCs are far from the defenders of rights - quite to the contrary, they're tramplers of those rights.
