Ezra Levant reports that the Orwellian star chamber known as the Canadian Human Rights Commission has dropped their ludicrous persecution of Mark Steyn and Maclean’s magazine: The Canadian Human Rights Commission blinks. The Canadian Human Rights Commission, like any petty tyranny, has a strong instinct for survival. As I ...

Canada is getting incredibly weird. I thought when Stephen Harper was elected that things would take a turn for the better, but the Orwellian madness of the Alberta Human Rights Commission has now entered the realm of the surreal: Alberta’s HRC: breeding the next generation of complainers. Yesterday I ...

The New York Times, scrupulously fair as always (cough), suggests that it might be time for the United States to reconsider this antiquated idea of “free speech” and join the rest of the world in prosecuting people like Mark Steyn: American Exception - Unlike Others, U.S. Defends Freedom to Offend ...

Mark Steyn is in Kafkaville this week, as the Canadian government demonstrates to the world how badly they’ve gone off the rails. I’m spending this week in a Vancouver “human rights” courtroom - actually a windowless basement whose sole link with the outside world, the clock, is stuck at ...

Several people emailed to recommend this video of Mark Steyn confronting some of his Islamist critics; I couldn’t get it to play, but maybe you’ll have better luck: The Agenda - Video - May 6: What is Wrong with Mark Steyn’s View of the World?
Mark Steyn on Barack Obama’s sudden decision to throw his pastor of 20 years under the bus: To Obama, ‘we’ means ‘me’. The notion that the Amazing Obama might be just another politician doing what politicians do seems to have affronted the senator more than any of the stuff ...

Last week the Ontario Human Rights Commission dropped their absurd Kafkaesque “human rights” charges against Maclean’s magazine—not because their witch hunt was wrong and offensive, but because they “lacked jurisdiction.” But their statement makes it clear they intend to continue trying to control the free expression of ideas in Canada, ...

Mark Steyn sums it all up pretty well in this one: It’s a shame one of them has to win. Another colleague of mine, Michael Ledeen, suggests that the rise of McCain through New Hampshire, South Carolina and Florida indicates that for many voters “the war” is still the ...
A great Mark Steyn piece on the insanely Orwellian Canadian “human rights” commissions: It’s all very odd, ‘that’s for sure’. Who has availed themselves of the “human rights” protected by Section XIII? In its entire history, over half of all cases have been brought by a sole “complainant,” one ...
Wow. We’ve discovered a new form of troll, as Mark Steyn reveals that Canadian Human Rights Commission “investigators” are posing as “hate crime” perpetrators—by posting comments at the neo-Nazi site Stormfront: SteynOnline - Agent provocateur. Yes, really. I wonder if we have any of these human rights trolls here at ...

As we noted earlier this month, the radical Islamic front group calling itself the “Canadian Islamic Congress” has filed mindcrime complaints against author Mark Steyn with the Canadian Human Rights Commission, in an effort to stifle criticism of Islam and intimidate other writers. It’s the legal jihad in action. Today, ...
Mark Steyn responds to a pretty spectacular screwup by Jim Henley. The comments for Henley’s post are a hoot. (Hat tip: JammieWearingFool.)
Mark Steyn pays tribute to departing Australian prime minister John Howard: A loss for civilisation. ACCORDING to my Oz-watching pals in Britain and the US, John Howard is not a failure but a victim of his own success. He made Australia safe for the Labor Party: or, at any ...
The Canadian Islamic Congress has filed “human rights” complaints against Maclean’s magazine for publishing an excerpt from Mark Steyn’s book “America Alone,” which the CIC labels not just “Islamophobic,” but flagrantly Islamophobic: Canadian Islamic Congress launches human rights complaints against Maclean’s. Complaints were submitted to Human Rights Commissions in ...

Mark Steyn says: The world should give thanks for America. Speaking as a misfit unassimilated foreigner, I think of Thanksgiving as the most American of holidays. And America should give thanks for people like Mark Steyn.
Mark Steyn asks: Where’s the War? Six years on, most Americans are now pretty certain what they’ll wake up to in the morning: There’ll be a thwarted terrorist plot somewhere or other — last week, it was Germany. Occasionally, one will succeed somewhere or other, on the far horizon ...
Mark Steyn wants us to be realistic about reality. In an age of cognitive dissonance and political correctness, he’s fighting an uphill battle. I think we have a problem in our culture not with “realistic weapons” but with being realistic about reality. After all, we already “fear guns,” at least ...
Mark Steyn’s piece on infantilization and the culture of passivity raises some uncomfortable but important issues. I haven’t weighed in yet on Virginia Tech — mainly because, in a saner world, it would not be the kind of incident one needed to have a partisan opinion on. But I was ...
Mark Steyn discusses the DNC’s radical Imam, from Hannity and (an absolutely pathetic) Colmes: [Video]
At City Journal, Christopher Hitchens has a thoughtful criticism of Mark Steyn’s excellent book [Amazon Link]: Facing the Islamist Menace. In the prologue to his new book, America Alone: The End of the World As We Know It, Mark Steyn sarcastically alludes to two people whom, in different ways, I ...

Another good one from Mark Steyn: ISG must stand for, uh, Inane Strategy Guesswork. So there you have it: an Iraq “Support Group” that brings together the Arab League, the European Union, Iran, Russia, China and the U.N. And with support like that who needs lack of support? It worked ...

Must-see TV: Video: Steyn slams the AP and Iraq Study Group on O’Reilly.
Mark Steyn: U.S. must prove it’s a staying power. Whether or not Rumsfeld should have been tossed overboard long ago, he certainly shouldn’t have been tossed on Wednesday morning. For one thing, it’s a startlingly brazen confirmation of the politicization of the war, and a particularly unworthy one: It’s difficult ...
The Canadian branch of radical Islamic front group CAIR has issued a fatwa on Mark Steyn for this article: The future belongs to Islam. Here’s the CAIR “Action Alert” calling down vengeance on Steyn, with nice clear talking points outlined for the faithful: CAIR-CAN Action Alert. (Ottawa, Canada – Oct ...
