Mark Steyn on CTV's Mike Duffy Live

Mark Steyn was in Ottawa today, and he appeared on Mike Duffy Live, straight from the foyer of the House of Commons. You can watch the clip here.

It was fun to see Steyn in Canadian surroundings -- he's done MDL before, via satellite -- and I was impressed with Duffy's thoughtful and well-briefed questions.

Duffy's most daring question was about Richard Warman, Canada's most litigious human rights complainant -- daring, given that Warman has such a penchant for defamation suits, of which I'm painfully aware.

Duffy and Steyn talked about Warman's complaints, and his five-figure, tax-free payments from the Canadian Human Rights Commission for succeeding in those complaints. Steyn called Warman's deal a "racket" and a "scandal". It was a great discussion, and it made for great TV.

I'll be interested to see if Warman sues Steyn, Duffy and CTV now, too. They've said no more than many of the people Warman has threatened, such as this student from McGill. On the other hand, does Warman really want to get the full and hostile attention of CTV and its affiliate, the Globe and Mail -- and their countless lawyers?
