The trial of Vigna v. Levant begins in Ottawa

The trial in the matter of Giacomo Vigna v. Ezra Levant began today in the Ottawa court house on Elgin Street.

As I noted here, the trial had originally been scheduled for February, but was postponed until today.

If you're in town and want to come by, feel free -- it's in room 35, and runs from about 10 a.m. until 5 p.m., with a break for lunch. The trial is set to run all week, but there's a chance it might end early.

I've been writing about freedom of speech, the need to reform Canada's human rights commissions, and Mr. Vigna's lawsuit for over two years, and I've shared plenty of opinions on the subject.

Now's the time for a judge to hear the facts of the case and render his verdict.

Thanks to all of my supporters, both those who have given me moral support and the financial support to be able to sustain my legal bills.
