to the members of the Alberta Human Rights and Citizenship Commission

I am writing you to express my profound outrage at your wonton attack on Ezra Levant's fundamental right to freedom of speech.

My father lost two brothers fighting against Nazi Germany. They selflessly gave their lives so that our fundamental freedoms should live.You are committing an egregious act against the memory of, all of those who fought, to preserve our culture and heritage - a culture steeped in reverence for freedom. That freedom was hard fought and won.

So many have sacrificed over the last eight hundred years, in order that free thought might illuminate and enrich our world - you are choking that light out.

You have embraced complaints from individuals whose mindset and cultural background is not informed by the Wests fundamental core values, but rather by an unabiding servitude to the notion that one must never, never seek to question. or step beyond boundaries which have not grown or breathed new thought for close to one thousand years - an issue which is of great concern to reform minded members of that culture.

You have attacked the inalienable rights to free expression guaranteed to all Canadians under the Charter, and in doing so, I believe you have opened a Pandora's box - good luck trying to close it.
