Absent such 'investigation', that vile comment would have disappeared down the memory hole along with millions of other comments. Read by no one, heeded by no one, claimed by no one.
The true victim of the post, enshrined forever by litigation, is Senator Anne Cools, as the post besmirching her went far, far beyond the public reach of the site wherein it first appeared, thanks to a 'human rights' hate-speech hunting hobby.

That link contains fair exchange, and it certainly helps to broadcast and analyze the BCHRTribunal Abrams v.

Our guess is that the courts will rule that Sec. 13 is constitutional, though they might strike down the penalty provision. However, with the Conservatives in the majority an an apparent commitment to eliminate Sec 13, we're not sure it will survive the House of Commons.Harry Abrams wrote: I think it's too early for both Anti-Racist Canada AND that wikipedia entry to toll the bell on Section 13.
There was just an appeal heard on the Lemire matter which is still awaiting a decision on whether it was fair or correct for the tribunal judge to refuse to issue a decision rather than just severing the penalty clause of the legislation for the purpose of that case.
And we're still waiting for a decision in the Whatcott matter, which was a much more direct question about the Taylor decision which underpins not just Section 13 of the Federal Human Rights Act, but human rights in all of the provinces too.
There's at least an even chance that there will be a finding that the Taylor decision at Supreme Court of Canada is still good law, but the process of applying it needs tweeking.
That being said we certainly acknowledge that me might be totally out to lunch. We are surprised that the demise of Sec. 13 is being written about on Wikipedia. That is a bit premature.
Because he is One of the very few right wing type bloggers I've seen who actually considered the comments of MLA Irwin Cotler's rebuttal of that kill S13 bill in Parliament that I decided to offer my own comments and views and experience on this issue.

Paul Fromm wrote:Four victims of Richard Warman's prosecutions under Sec. 13 of the Canadian Human Rights Code were honoured with the Canadian Free Speech Award at an overflow meeting of the Canadian Association for Free Expression.Nosferatu200 wrote:Paul Fromm hosted another "awards ceremony" on December 12...
The guest speaker was Doug Christie, General Counsel of the Canadian Free Speech League. The meeting was held on the eve of the historic appeal to Federal Court.
The citation in the award to Melissa Guille read "For your courage and determination defying tyranny in the Richard Warman Sec. 13 complaint. Your case marked the beginning of the defeat of Sec. 13.," referring to the fact that this was the first tribunal not to impose a financial penalty
The citation in the award to Jason Ouwendyk explained: "For your courage and determination and research defying tyranny in the Richard Warman Sec. 13 complaint. Your case marked the beginning of the exposure of Richard Warman’s dirty tricks." In this case, too, the Member (judge) declined to impose a financial penalty and declared Richard Warman's spy tactics "troubling."
The citation on the award to Tom Winnicki read: "For your courage and determination defying tyranny in the Richard Warman Sec. 13 complaint. Your boldness and refusal to submit to censorship inspired others." Mr. Winnicki refused to be cowed by the Commission's bullying. Mr. Warman filed a contempt of court complaint that saw Mr. Winnicki sent to jail for nine months. A gutsy appealed shortened the sentence.
Finally, the citation on the award to Marc Lemire, the star of the current battle, noted: "For your courage and determination and amazing research in defying Richard Warman’s Sec. 13 complaint, for being the only victim ever to win a Sec. 13 case and for getting this vile piece of censorship declared unconstitutional."
