Overheard during the break from one of my fellow spectators: “I’m just a blogger.” Leave out the ‘just,’ and say it with pride.*

Dr. Dawg: Anti-climaxing in Ottawa: Warman versus Lemire

A packed room; hundreds turned away. Sweating tension in the faces of cowering, pallid operatives of the Canadian Human Rights Commission, wrenched from their burrows. Fearless defenders of free speech, the gleam of righteousness in their eyes, lightning flashing outside, as though in sympathy. China, gnawing on the bones of Tibet, pauses for a moment raises her head and shivers. The hour of reckoning is at hand.

Well, umm, not quite. Let me set the scene, because that was far more interesting than the substance of the hearing (scroll down if you want to cut to the chase). And just before that, one note–today’s non-event was liveblogged by Kady O’Malley, and by Marc Lemire, who shall have no link from me. If you want pitiless detail, that’s where to go. I’m going to keep it all down to one post.

Another outstanding post from Dr. Dawg, best coverage I’ve seen. This hearing was to examine how CHRC’s are conducted.  The next one is in June.

Kady O’Malley of Mcleans getting hate mail from Small Dead Animals because she live blogged. It’s long past time The Blogging Tories cut Small Dead Animals free.

    The venom that Small Dead Animals and some of the Conservative Blogs spew is unbelievable. Their communication shows contempt for anyone different than them.

    It isn’t about poltics, it is pure hatred, like a cult follower who cannot handle criticism of their leader.

    Liberal followers can be just as bad.

    Harper’s agenda seems to be to divide our country. Everything has to have a spin to it. People are fed up with the hate campaign Harper et al is spinning.

    What purpose does all the ad hominem serve?

    Most Canadians are above that.
