The Girl in Blue writes of Ezra on Coren:

One of my favourite parts was when Micheal pointed out that many leftists see this issue as a battle of the political sides of the spectrum. Both men asserted that this is not the case at all. Neither care whether you’re wrong–er, left, or right. This isn’t about that. This isn’t a bunch of bible-thumping Republican types ranting on about the HRCs, dabbling in little lies along the way in an attempt to ice to their white and blue free speech plea cake. (See, Canadian Cynic? I can list off dumb stereotypes and pass it off as a blog, too!)

For a young chick, she has a sharp tongue! And she’s also pretty perceptive.

Without the right to a forum for discussion, there could be no discussion. Without the right to protest, there could be no political progression. These dummies complaining to the HRC have every right to complain (without free speech, they wouldn’t), just as every defendent had every right to say–or publish–what they did. That’s the beauty of the free West. Levant said “we love justice.” But the HRC isn’t a real court. There’s no real evidence needed, no real trials, no real justice. And the truth is, if these wacko complainants win their cases, it may be a feather in their cap (as my Buby would say), but it isn’t simply a loss for the defendent. It’s a loss for Canada, and the freedom we have boasted so proudly about. It’s a loss for you and your liberty. It’s the first chip in the decay of your fundamental rights, your society, and your freedom.
