Media Advisory: Former Western Standard Publisher Ezra Levant to Discuss Freedom of Speech in Canada at Fraser Institute Luncheon
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - May 23, 2008) - Former Western Standard publisher Ezra Levant's refusal to toe the line of political correctness and his decision in 2006 to print the controversial Danish cartoons of the Prophet Mohammed in his magazine landed him before the Alberta Human Rights Commission.

A bully and a nutjob speaking at a right wing institute? BIG FREAKING DEAL.
Fraser Institute is nothing more than a shill for big corporation. Their studies don't stand a minimum chance to any peer reviews. It's a joke not an academic institution.
