Having threatened physical violence against the editors, I wonder if I might beg their indulgence. Readers will recall Ezra Levant, my comrade in Canada’s battle for free speech (coming soon to the U.S., mark my words*) and the man whose video interrogation by the Alberta “Human Rights” Commission lit up the Internet.

Because his campaign has been so successful, Ezra has been subject to a ton of frivolous lawsuits designed to bury him. The latest is from the Canadian Islamic Congress’s Khurrum Awan, the phony “plaintiff” in my show trial in Vancouver last year. Fighting off Islamic “lawfare” takes time and money. So we’re having a little fundraiser for Ezra over at my place: You get some autographed books and other stuff, and the profits go to help a great warrior for liberty keep up the fight, and end a disgusting system that imposes lifetime speech bans on supposedly free-born citizens.

The books on offer include Ezra’s Shakedown, which our own Mark Hemingway calls a “splendid new volume.” And you can hear him talking about his travails with John J. Miller here.

(*It’s always worth paying attention to what happens in north, since every bad Canadian idea eventually winds up south of the border — and sooner than you think.)
