Ezra is so-con publication's "Person of the Year"
The Interim, a monthly socially-conservation publication that bills itself as "Canada's Life and Family Newspaper," has just published its January issue. It's front page features the familiar face of libertarian champion Ezra Levant and the headline of "Person of the Year."
[Here's a link to the Interim's website; the story is not yet posted, though.]
The cover subhead reads, "Lawyer and journalist Ezra Levant led the fight against the human rights industry in 2008, defending genuine human rights including freedom of speech, freedom of the press and freedom of religion."
Inside, there's a full-page spread on Ezra, including a Q&A and a guest column from Mark Steyn, who declares, "....Ezra, in the face of relentless battering by nuisance lawsuits, made a difference in the heart of the Canadian state and exposed the ugliness of the Orwellian 'human rights' regime."
Congrats to my old colleague, Ezra, for the deserved recognition.

Good to see you are the 1st one to give Ezra congrats Matthew, would be terrible if you were found wavering on that one eh.

The last post being " Gee dont want to wait too long to give congrats to ol' Ezra eh Matthew, wouldn't want to be seen wavering on that one".
We will see how long this stays up.

Ezra Levant deserves all the praise and recognition. He is a true Canadian patriot. Plus my wife assures me that Levant's "...kinda cute and cuddly in a teddy-bear kinda way which is very sexy!"
I'm off to eat a dozen doughnuts now. ;-)
CONGRATULATIONS EZRA!

I had not realised what was actually happening here in Canada until a couple of years ago when I read what Ezra Levant was going through. I consider him a hero.
