You’d think that in the Canadian Bureaucrat’s Handbook, the first six chapters would consist of nothing but the words, “Do NOT piss off Ezra Levant.” in large bold type.
Wow. That censor dude was one of the best practitioners of doublespeak I’ve seen in AGES.
He may have had a point that Levant’s network was on board with the council standards, but holy smoke, he was about as disingenuous as it gets regarding “I’m not a censor” and “it’s not a problem that I’m your direct competitor,” and “we have to uphold standards” while slamming Levant’s network in what was NOT good-natured but rather Typical Liberal Contempt.

You forgot the chapter “Nor Mark Steyn, for that matter.”
I’ve always struggled to take Canada seriously as an actual country. It’s either due to the movie Strange Brew, or it’s because they have a stupid beaver on their nickels.
You used to be able to get fully nude table dances in Windsor for five Canadian dollars back in the ’90s. (About $3.50 American.) They were all students from Ann Arbor, too, not dirty snowbacks.
I wouldn’t have mentioned it but if we’re going to talk about beaver and currency it seemed appropriate.
[…] SCOTUS is an inherently unreliable collection. As we’ve seen today, they can be argued into damn near anything if you ply them with the ‘right’ wackadoo […]
Not very helpful, that Ezra Levant.
Do you suppose they’ll ever learn to quit fucking with that boy?

Abe — as most of my time in Canada has been at less then reputable places, I’ve always been disappointed at their choice of beaver for their coinage.

Back in his college days my father used to drive specialty freight from Buffalo to Detroit, he always spoke fondly of Windsor.

Don’t forget the loon on the coinage.
Heh.
I take it then that the hairless beaver is an invasive species?
Invasive but much more welcome than the zebra mussel.
It may be invasive, but only a relatively small number of complaints have been lodged.
Is the zebra mussel related to the bearded clam?
