'When Section 13 was repealed by the federal government on June 26th, 2013 there was great rejoicing among Canadians who have been witnessing the tragic events that have unfolded over the past few decades due to the draconian nature of this unjust piece of legislation tucked away in the Canadian Human Rights Act. I was one of those who was glad to see it finally repealed but as Marc Lemire explains in his article below it's not as if a general amnesty had suddenly been declared for those who were already under the gun and had been accused under this specious legislation prior to the June 26th repeal.
Like Marc and others I too was being forced to participate in that charade right up until the time that Marc's case was heard by the Canadian Human Right's Tribunal and the Tribunal declared it to be unconstitutional. It was then that my case and others like mine were all stayed when the Canadian Human Rights Commission appealed the Tribunal's decision and forced Marc to then have to then contest their appeal in the federal court.'
