OAKVILLE -- When police started seizing a computer and white supremacist material from a London apartment, the occupant, James Richardson, asked to make a phone call to his lawyer. Instead of calling his lawyer, though, he contacted fellow white supremacist Alexan Kulbashian.
Then he shouted into the phone:
"Get rid of that stuff."
The police sleuthing that led to the search and the urgent call to trash "the stuff" took centre stage at what could be a precedent-setting human rights hearing yesterday.
For the first time, the Canadian Human Rights Commission has launched a tribunal hearing into not only individuals, and not only their white supremacist websites, but the Internet service provider that supplied space for the websites.
"This is the first," commission lawyer Monette Maillet said yesterday.
The tribunal's ruling is not binding on other cases,
"But it is persuasive," she added.
If the tribunal rules against the service provider in this case, the big guns on the Internet, such as Bell Sympatico, "will stand up and take notice," said Ottawa human rights advocate and lawyer Richard Warman.
Warman has brought forward the complaint.

1984, baby. The "[COLOR=Magenta]Canadian Human Rights Commission[/COLOR]" is going like a mad dog after those who provide venues of free speech.
I guess our 'Human Rights' include the right to shut up and submit to state-sponsored genocide!
