Ontario Human Rights Commission...

Under the august auspices of Chief Commissioner Barbara (Che) Hall... takes one last kick at Mark Steyn & Maclean's... and then folds like a cheap Chinese-made lawn chair...
"While freedom of expression must be recognized as a cornerstone of a functioning democracy, the Commission strongly condemns the Islamophobic portrayal of Muslims, Arabs, South Asians and indeed any racialized community in the media, such as the Maclean's article and others like them, as being inconsistent with the values enshrined in our human rights codes."
Way to audible, Babs... nothing like going out on a high note.

LAST WORD:
"No hearing, just straight to the verdict. I guess that's a... 105% conviction rate."
