Free Speech Victory in Canada
And believe me, I live up here and I see, first hand, the deteriation of freedom of speech; what with Canada going slowly Socialist/Communist.
It's a great day for freedom advocates everywhere!
Mark Steyn is free.

But Maclean's knows this is only the beginning of the Muslim tirade:
"Though gratified by the decision, Maclean's continues to assert that no human rights commission, whether at the federal or provincial level, has the mandate or the expertise to monitor, inquire into, or assess the editorial decisions of the nation's media. And we continue to have grave concerns about a system of complaint and adjudication that allows a media outlet to be pursued in multiple jurisdictions on the same complaint, brought by the same complainants, subjecting it to costs of hundreds of thousands of dollars, to say nothing of the inconvenience. We enthusiastically support those parliamentarians who are calling for legislative review of the commissions with regard to speech issues."

Because you just know these "law students" (cough-cough*Fifth Column*cough-cough) will seek redemption and sadly will eventually win.
