A Canadian conservative is hauled before “Human Rights” commission
His crime? Publishing those “Mohammed” cartoons.
The accused, Ezra Levant, delivered a stirring opening statement at his interrogation. Here's an excerpt:

From 22nd September 2007 to 8th January 2008 the EU has passed 452 laws which will impact on the UK.
That is FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY TWO!
Since the start of May 2007 the total is 1,114.
Each

cost is added onto British businesses, consumers and taxpayers. As members of the European Union

those decisions.
