Winnipeg Free Press reviews Shakedown

What a friendly review in today's Winnipeg Free Press. They truly live up to their noble name. Here are some excerpts:

In 1776, radical British-American writer Thomas Paine published his pamphlet Common Sense, which defended inalienable rights against arbitrary authority.

Calgary lawyer and journalist Ezra Levant has become a Canadian version of Thomas Paine.

...He not only details his own imbroglio with the Alberta human rights bureaucracy, but looks at other cases from across Canada.

It is a concise, well-written account; Levant has a gift for explaining legal issues in clear, simple prose.

And he never loses his sense of humour, something that distinguishes him from his opponents.

...Levant's book, despite its brevity, raises profound issues about the nature of a free society and individual responsibility.

He appeals to Canadians' common sense and fairness. Hopefully these are qualities that still inhere in the Canadian public.

That's great! I had such a great time in Winnipeg at Rod Bruinooge's standing-room-only free speech event. I think that city really gets it, when it comes to fundamental freedoms!
