Back home and back to blogging

I'm back from New York now, and I look forward to catching up on some of the interesting stories of the past five days. It's been possibly the worst five days in the history of Canada's human rights commissions. The cause and the symptoms are the same: the HRCs are speaking for themselves now, which has been one disaster after another. They did much better when they were silent; but that is no longer an option for them now; and yet they are so out of tune with legal and moral norms in Canada that when they do try to argue their case, they only make it worse.

Tomorrow I hope to dig deeper into the nationally-published suicide note, otherwise known as Barbara Hall's press release on behalf of the Ontario Human Rights Commission, and two self-serving Op-Eds published by Max Yalden and Pearl Eliadis, both of whom felt compelled to publicly justify their gravy train.

And I'll give you my thoughts on some of the outstanding columns of the past few days, from the Globe and Mail, the Sun chain and others.

I'll also comment on the Maclean's mini-biography of  Richard Warman -- and how I think it relates to his defamation lawsuit against me and the other defendants.

And -- hopefully this week -- I'll give you my review of David Mamet's new play, a political satire called November, which I saw last night on Broadway.
