The human rights and free speech controversy involving Mark Steyn and Maclean’s raised the issue of the role and importance of Human Rights Commissions in Canada.

Omar interviewed a human rights lawyer, Pearl Eliadis, who recently wrote an article in Montreal’s Maisonneuve magazine called “The Controversy Entrepreneurs”.

He also interviewed Donna Seale, former Co-Counsel for the Manitoba Human Rights Commission.

Devin Johston provided an excellent summary of the episode, which can also be found on Law is Cool.
