And now something completely different

A few appropriate movies for the day.

Happy Halloween folks.

Police Investigating Levant For Anti-Roma Diatribe

BCL has been covering this issue pretty extensively thankfully because we really have been dropping the ball when it comes to the story:

Roma group’s complaint against Ezra Levant prompts Toronto police investigation

Published on Wednesday October 24, 2012

A complaint about broadcaster Ezra Levant’s rant that likened Gypsies to “swindlers” has prompted a Toronto police investigation.

Toronto’s Roma Community Centre, which has called the rant “overtly racist, prejudicial, and demeaning,” lodged the complaint with police on Oct. 11.

Paulie Clears Up Tremaine Story

You know, this might come as a huge shock to our readers, but the fine folks at Free Dominion don't seem to like us very much.

We know! We can't believe it either!

Not long ago they took issue with a recent article posted on this blog, particularly the part where we gently suggested that it doesn't look very good for a website that promotes itself as a friend of Israel to be openly cheering for a man who has advocated for the destruction of Israel and murder of Jews. Let's be honest here, if the person making these statements against Israel and Jews were not named Terry and was instead named Ibrahim or Khalil, we all could surmise that Free Dominion's support for, "free speech" would be pretty much non-existent.

Sturrup Drafting Charter Challenge?

We've got to admit we aren't sure where Sturrup is going with this. Perhaps Reitmeier's wife, who has so frequently posted defences of her husband, might be able to shed light on this?

Our guess is it might have something to do with the length of time it is taking for his case to go to trial, but that really is just unsubstantiated speculation on our part.

One of two purported white supremacists charged with murdering a Calgary man will make an unspecified Charter challenge in advance of his trial next spring.

Tyler William Sturrup appeared briefly in Court of queen’s Bench Friday to set deadline dates for written briefs for his constitutional challenge.

Free Dominion Cheer For the Nazi. Again

Last night we noticed that there was a new update concerning Terry Tremaine on CBC:

Terry Tremaine no longer facing charges over alleged online activity

CBC News

Posted: Oct 16, 2012 6:05 PM CST 

A Regina judge has stayed a charge against Terry Tremaine, who was accused of continuing to post hate speech online in defiance of an order from the Canadian Human Rights Commission.

In 2007, the commission ordered Tremaine to stop posting anti-Jewish material on the internet.

Kevin Goudreau Threatens to Kill Mark Zuckerberg

Original, uhm.... "art" by Patricia
Manignal who also gave us this.

It's been a while since we've written about, "the Goudreau" pictured on the right (well, sort of.... she really is awful, isn't she?). Last we saw he was now posting on VNN claiming to be the leader of a vast movement in Canada. We presume that he hopes that the folks at VNN will be more credulous about his claims than were those on Stormfront. He's likely going to be disappointed. 

We take, the Goudreau with a healthy grain of salt, however there are times when we do have to take the snivelling creature a little more seriously. Like when he threatens to have people murdered.

We suppose we can say it began when the Goudreau signed up to Facebook after again being kicked off.

We're amused by a few things here. First, we find it funny that Paulie still has no understanding of the law, be it civil or criminal, despite acting on behalf of some boneheads who have faced legal troubles like Terry Tremaine. If he's so upset, then perhaps he should have actually read the terms of service (that, to be fair, few bother to look at) before clicking on the box agreeing to them?

Second, that the Goudreau thinks (encouraged by Paulie) that boneheads such as themselves would be able to buy enough stocks to get any sort of voting control of Facebook since Mark Zuckerberg owns more than 50% of the shares and, thus, outright control. That, and to purchase even 1% of the shares available, boneheads would have to scrape together hundreds of millions of dollars even with the massive drop in share prices since going public.

Stupid?

Yes, these are very, very stupid people.

But as much as we might laugh at the foolishness of these cretins, we do find ourselves more than a bit concerned when we also start reading posts like these:

Golden Dawn Petitition

Our friends with Toronto SHARP are commenting on the Golden Dawn problem now as well so we invite our readers to take a look at their most recent post concerning the matter.

In the meantime, we received a note requesting our support:

Dear Sirs,

We ask for your support in our efforts against Golden Dawn (Greek Nazi Political party / Neo nazi Organization) establishing itself In Canada, specifically Montreal. Would you like us to work together to let Canadians and Montrealers know the truth regarding Golden Dawn?

Someone has to do something but no Canadian or Montreal authorities have shown interest in this issue! Can you look in to this? Who will do something about this Neo Nazi Organization that is growing in Montreal? It is unacceptable!

They already have begun their propaganda with "charity" fund-raising events this September in Montreal. We, as Greek-Canadians have begun a petition, pls find it at the link below. We ask that you also help us in getting the truth out and collecting as many signatures as possible.

http://www.avaaz.org/en/petition/Sign_here_to_stop_Golden_Dawn_Nazi_Organization_in_Montreal/

We are hoping to hear from you soon, this is a matter that concerns everyone!

Thank you

We invite our readers to consider signing the petition.

Terry Tremaine: Dumb. Very Dumb.

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:

Tomasz Winnicki: A Very, Very, Needy Man

Tom has taken to including us in the online media publications he has decided to spam with is.... shall we say unique?.... take on the world. And, if we're to be honest, we do sometimes like to bait him a little.

We knew our last post on Rushton would result in a response, though we've been unable to check on the comments until mere moments ago because, unlike Tomasz apparently, we have families that we like spending time with on Thanksgiving. But boy, oh boy, is Tommy insistent this time!

Post the comment I submitted before you commie coward.

It's like he's not getting enough attention at home. It's sort of sad that he is, unconsciously, seeking validation and acceptance from us. Perhaps he's a candidate for Big Brothers Big Sisters?

Tommy, baby, a few things you should know about us.

First, trying to order us to do something? That's sort of a non starter, but it is sort of funny to us how insistent you are. Again, maybe you just need a puppy?

Second, we're less inclined to post your comments when you fail to address our rebuttals. That's right Tommy, we have posted some of your comments, but it would seem to us that you aren't interested in, or capable of, any sort of meaningful dialogue.

Finally, why would we want to give you any sort of a platform? Arguing with you means taking time out of our busy schedule and preventing us from our real passions. Like stamp collecting. And knitting.

That being said, and in response to your most recent missives, this writer decided to spend as much time as you are worth doing a little digging.

Took a few seconds.

Terry Tremaine: Judgement Day October 9, 2012

Any bets on the sentencing tomorrow?

This writer thinks Tremaine will get time, but others figure he might get as much as 9 months, much like another bonehead sentenced for contempt (hi Tommy).

Jean Philippe Rushton Has Died

We missed it, but not surprisingly Tom Winnicki didn't.

Actually he has been shown to be wrong by a good number of scientists, though we're pretty certain that Winnicki and his kind would dismiss the critics.

Mourned by racist boneheads and neo-Nazis, the final legacy of J. Philippe Rushton.

Leading race “scientist” dies in Canada

Jean Philippe Rushton's death marks the end of an era of academic racism

By Don Terry, Southern Poverty Law CenterSaturday, 
Oct 6, 2012 06:00 AM MDT

Jean Philippe Rushton, a psychology professor and probably the most important race scientist in North America, died of cancer Tuesday night in Canada. The man who sparked a firestorm of controversy and protest in the late 1980s with his theories about the correlation between genital size and intelligence, and in later years was the head of a right-wing fund that has long supported the research projects of academic racists from around the world, was 68.

The More Things Change....

UPDATE (October 7): Our friends in Quebec have done a hell of a lot of legwork on this file already. For those you you who, like us, are sadly uniligual, here is the translated link.

We've all been rather busy here in ARC land with real life issues, but we certainly couldn't allow this to pass without comment:

Anti-immigrant Greek political party accused of being racist opens Canadian chapter

Justin Ling, National Post Staff | Sep 28, 2012 6:20 PM ET | Last Updated: Sep 28, 2012 6:21 PM ET
More from National Post Staff

MONTREAL – The Greek political party Golden Dawn has been called a neo-nazi organization. But Canadian supporters who opened a Montreal chapter this month say that couldn’t be further from the truth.

The Montreal chapter is one of only two outside Greece. It launched in early September and began to collect food, medicine and clothing to send to Golden Dawn headquarters in Athens for the needy. Organizers say they have sent about a ton of aid to Greece.

Warman Wins. Lemire Loses.

You've got to love it when the good guy wins in the end.

Only a small part of the document, but you get the idea.

We fully expect the usual suspects will react as they have been conditioned to react.

Apoplectic rage.

Have fun with that.
