[Well well, what do you know. What I predicted yesterday already happened a month ago. Charges against the jew Steyn are dropped. Every other charge has been sustained; every other defendant found guilty. But not the jew. Free speech still exists! Big surprise.]

It was only the CHRC that dismissed the case against MacLeans/Steyn. The Ontario HRC case was dismissed earlier. The BCHRC case against MacLeans/Steyn continues.
Technically, the complainant(s) could file essentially the same complaint in 13 jurisdictions (federal and 12 provincial). Precedent is irrelevant in these cases, so even if the defendant was found 'not guilty' in 12 out of 13 cases, he could still be subject to substantial fines and a lifetime ban on expressing the offending opinion. The HRC's rulings can be registered with a real court and if ignored, the offender can be sent to prison. Ask Tom Winnicki how that works.

The above chart is a summary of who uses Section 13 (no wonder the CJC, BnB, SWC all claim
Section 13 is neccessary for the psychological security of jews in Canada).
