Everyone (especially the REEEEing sperg) please keep in mind that the BCHRT both -DISMISSED- Yaniv's 'wax my balls' complaints and sanctioned his fat ass to boot.
There's no reason to call this any kind of a win for Jonnyboy unless and until it IS a win.
Ehhh... I disagree. From the RebelNews article:
To be precise, I’m being prosecuted under section 7 of the B.C. Human Rights Code, which says it’s illegal to publish anything that’s “likely to expose a person... to hatred or contempt”. It’s not even a thought crime, it’s a feelings crime — if anything you say might cause someone to feel the emotion of hate or contempt, you lose. Of course, just showing Jonathan Yaniv’s vicious conduct is going to make a lot of people feel contempt for him. He’s a vicious bully and a terrible racist, too. It’s so weird that the human rights tribunal has teamed up with him.
Sounds eerily similar to how @Null has been terrorized by pro-se vexatious litigants. People like Yaniv or Greer don't even need to "win" in court to accomplish their goal of harassing/terrorizing people they don't like. The process is the punishment.Obviously we have to hire lawyers, which is part of the abuse here: Yaniv doesn’t have to hire a lawyer. He just typed out his crazy manifesto, gave it to the government, and they’re prosecuting us with government lawyers. We, on the other hand, have to hire lawyers by ourselves — and even if we win, we don’t get our legal fees back. This is the template that Trudeau is going to replicate nationally and he’s going to make it worse, by actually paying people up to $20,000 to make complaints.
More from the article:
The complaint was written by Yaniv himself and it looks like it was written by a crazy person — it’s in ALL CAPITAL LETTERS. It’s so obviously a nuisance suit, it’s shocking that the tribunal would actually run with it.
But this has happened to me before. In a famous case almost 20 years ago, I was prosecuted by Alberta's human rights commission for republishing the Danish cartoons of Mohammed in a magazine I ran back then. They pursued me for 900 days before finally dropping the matter — leaving me with a huge legal bill.
So, Rebel News already has experience with being terrorized by the government and having to shell out a bunch of money to defend themselves. And it's potentially going to get worse soon.And by the way, this sort of shakedown is going to happen a lot more when Justin Trudeau passes his new censorship bill, called C-63, that’s before Parliament right now.
Right now this “hate speech” provision is just in a few provincial laws. But Trudeau wants to make it national and his version will launch a flood of these complaints, because it pays up to $20,000 to any crank, any bully, any left-wing activist for making complaints like this. It will be a giant cancel culture machine and it rewards nuisance complaints.
