My lawyer has received two upset calls from the Alberta Human Rights Commission. The first, from Shirlene McGovern herself, complained about the publicity she is receiving. I’m surprised at her reaction—you’d think someone who regularly interrogates citizens about their private political views would be comfortable with the concept of public scrutiny. Imagine if she actually had to expose her private thoughts, not just her public actions as a government officer.
I can’t believe this is still going on, I’m late for lunch and defendant is toast, but keeps yapping. Starts asking a bunch of questions like “Who should determine what speech is reasonable?” “Who should determine what is offensive?” Umm, heh-looo Ezra—what am I, a potted plant? I didn’t spend 2 years getting my M.A. in Hate Speech Detection at McGill for this kind of treatment.
Now he says he “hopes to be convicted and sentenced.” Great. Thanks for not telling me that up front Ezra. Otherwise I couldn’t spend the whole morning listening to your stupid long-winded yapping about freedom of speech and 800 years and the Magna Carta and thoughtcrimes blah blah blah, with nothing to distract me except the painting and doodling on my legal pad, and that stupid green pop can of yours that just left a big ring on my new desk.
