We wrote earlier that we will not speak ill of the dead, but that doesn’t mean we will be complacent when many in the media whitewash Doug Christie’s history, portraying him as someone who selflessly fought for people’s right to speak freely and hold unpopular opinions. We’ve always said that

The Ranting Canadian: Doug Christie: The Unauthorized Obituary (article in The Tyee)
Doug Christie: The Unauthorized Obituary (article in The Tyee): Tom Hawthorn of TheTyee reiterates what I wrote in my post about the recently croaked lawyer Doug Christie. Despite his pompous self-declarations, Christie was not a true advocate for free speech; he was merely an advocate for racism, anti-Semitism and other

Doug Christie – racist anti-Semitic lawyer, white nationalist activist and Western separatist wannabe politician from British Columbia – died on March 11, 2013 at the age of 66 from liver disease. Good riddance to bad rubbish. Historical revisionists – and others who may be well-intended but misguided — are (sieg)

I don’t have much to add to this: Much of the recent commentary on our human rights commissions and tribunals has focused on the recent Supreme Court of Canada’s Whatcott ruling. The case dealt with the so-called “hate speech” section of Saskatchewan’s human rights laws, after a Christian pastor was

Doug Christie, defence lawyer in controversial cases, dies at 66 We won’t speak ill of the dead. This writer hopes that when his time approached, any suffering was minimized as much as medically possible and that Christie’s last moments with his family were ones well spent. But, from a practical

Fromm posted the following on his Facebook account earlier today: Lawyers like Gerry Spence, someone this writer admires a great deal, defended individuals he didn’t agree with but who he believed deserved a fair trail. Our issue with Christie was never his defence of the likes of Topham, Tremaine, Zundel,

This post came to my attention yesterday, from Christie client Arthur Topham, who I have written about on several occasions: Today it is my misfortune to have to share with you some very sad news regarding one of Canada’s foremost advocates in the struggle to retain our right to freedom

Found the following posted to Topham’s website: “Dear Arthur: I regret to advise that Mr. Christie has been diagnosed with an advanced form of liver cancer, and has received medical advice that he cannot practice law any further at the present time. In these circumstances, it will be necessary for you

The wheels of justice turn slowly. But they do continue to turn in the case of Arthur Topham. BCL recently noted that the Crown is not going to allow Topham to turn the court into a circus by allowing him to use it as a venue to air his antisemitic

It's either 30 days or six months depending on if Terry decides to play nice. We're trying to see if we can get the reaction from the bonehead community and their supporters (if we do, we'll add it to this article later) but until then here…

On Monday we had suggested that we would likely learn what Terry Tremaine's sentence for contempt would be, however that obviously didn't happen. Today we learned a possible reason for the delay: Read more »

Sort of a short post but Doug Christie, in his latest newsletter, has announced when the Topham case take place: Christie also discussed information pertaining to the Tremaine case, much of which is already known: More later, but for now we’re enjoying the summer weather.

Sometimes we look at the decisions made by the judiciary and shake our heads in wonder. And not in a good way. White supremacist can seek help online in attempt to prove racist claims: court Adrian Humphreys Jul 3, 2012 – 11:14 PM ET Facing charges for online hate speech, a

Back on June 14, we briefly mentioned that Dr. Dawg had won his appeal and that the case would now go to trial. We don't want to argue the merit of the arguments involved, but we can't help but notice the odd assortment of characters who have lined up over

Earlier today, we were contacted by "Maclean's" and asked about our take on the demise of Sec. 13. We responded as follows: We think that the government was incredibly short sighted in their decision to eliminate Sec. 13. It was a useful and cost-effective tool in the effort to eliminate

Not sure of the details, but boneheads are claiming online that Arthur Topham was arrested this past Wednesday: Arthur Topham, publisher of the Radical Press website, was arrested on May 16, 2012, at 11:30 am on the Barkerville Highway near Quesnel, B.C., put in handcuffs and taken to jail. Apparently,

First, we got to say Shawn, you aren't fooling anyone with that beard. We're not claiming that he's looks like Saddam Hussein. We're just noting that in this picture, Shawn bares a striking similarity to the late Iraqi dictator. Oh, we guess we are saying that he looks like Hussein.

We were sent this a few moments ago: Shawn MacDonald’s court appearance delayed till 1:30 pm today (same courtroom 307 at 222 Main). He has plead not guilty to the hate crimes and they are setting trial dates (he elected for a judge and jury). His lawyer is infamous/notorious far-right

On Saturday, we published an article speculating that Marc Lemire, or at least his wife, isn’t pleased with Paul Fromm using Lemire’s Sec. 13 fight to fundraise off of, since another poster also implied that the money raised in other cases may not have reached those for who the money

Well it's that time of year when Doug Christie hosts yet another misnamed George Orwell Free Speech Award Dinner (misnamed not in the sense that Orwell opposed freedom of speech, but in that as a committed socialist opposed to totalitarianism in al…
