#1 The CHRC tried last year to block the testimony of its own investigators by invoking section 37 of the Evidence Act, normally used for national security cases, citing threats to their personal safety. Facing a review by a higher court, they capitulated, but demanded the hearing be closed to the public.

This week, however, a one-man Canadian Human Rights Tribunal, Athanasios Hadjis, ruled firmly against the commission. He wrote that its legal gamesmanship "gives me pause to question the soundness of the Commission's invocation of public security concerns."

And so the very fact that the hearing room door will be unlocked is a hard-won concession from Canada's beleaguered human rights bureaucracy. To judge from the Internet chatter of white supremacists and merely conservative journalists, it will be standing room only.

#2 Well said, Fred. That's exactly what these "human rights" clubs in Canada are about: throttling any dissent to their point of view and silencing any speech which may depict them in less than a view favorable to their own cause. A subversion of the democratic ideal.

#3 "human rights machine"

The only correct word in that phrase is "machine."
