Ezra Levant published the MoToons in his paper the Western Standard. Here he is defending the rights of freeborn people to free expression, and in passing refusing to accept the jurisdiction of the government agency, the absurdly named Alberta human rights commission.
I think this will stand the test of time, and will still be watched a century from now.

Wonderful! Highlights for moi:
“You are hunting for a thought crime” when asked about the intention behind publishing the cartoons.
“Unbridled free speech is the antidote, the prophylactic, against violence”
“Convicted murders cannot be compelled to apologise in Canada, it is considered cruel and unusual punishment”
I’m glad I took the time to watch these. What a guy!
ps recommeded to all: if you have a spare 20/ 30 minutes
This is your champion. What a joke barely covers it. He started off well but he made a complete fool out of himself. His barely concealed racism, arrogance and pomposity, his addmittance that he was primarily motivated by money and then to claim to be some great defender of principle and his argument that the arguments of the sufferegettes and civil right movement were "unreasonable" speech, sorry mate shot yourself in the foot there.
Canada: Freedom of Speech succumbing to Kangaroo Courts of the Human Rights Commission
Proceedings against Ezra Levant are nothing short of ridiculous, but let's consider the implications for moderate Muslims. This "investigation" will further divide Muslims and non-Muslims in Canada. It will give credence to radicals' claims that the West is at war with Islam. It will antagonize non-Muslims and moderate Muslims will be pushed towards radicalization. Regardless of the outcome, once again Islamists skillfully manipulated Dhimmi justice system and came out as clear winners. Thank you, Human Right Commission!
Muslims Against Sharia are proud to be the first Muslim group to publicly support Ezra Levant and denounce HRC inquisition
