"I don't follow Muslim law, I follow Queen Elizabeth's law."
Line of the week goes to my friend Ezra Levant for his passionate defence of Western values and freedom of expression (read: his Western Standard's decision to reprint the controversial Mohammed cartoons.) Do check out CTV Newsnet's Ravi Baichwal's interview with Ezra here; Baichwal's performance can only be described as an embarassment to cable news. (See his closing question in particular for why.)
Is Ezra doing this to get a big media hit for his magazine? Ya, he probably is. But who cares? That's what upstart magazines do to get known. And Ezra would not be getting media today if any of the rest of the Canadian media had the guts to actually stand up for free speech and show the cartoons too. I say good for Ezra, whatever his motives.
