Mr. Storseth, MP
(Westlock-St.Paul Alberta)
House of Commons Ottawa, Ontario

Dear Mr Storseth,

I would like to thank you for bringing in a motion to get rid of Section 13, of the Internet Hate Law, but I feel that it should go a lot further than that.

Until the Human Rights Tribunals are totally removed there is no real hope for democracy in Canada. Viz: If I recall history, it was the reign of Terror after the French Revolution which brought about the Tribunals that arbitrarily decided the fate of people without even a shred of evidence. The next were the Soviets who introduced the Tribunal to get rid of members of the any group that opposed them. The last were the Nazis that created their own form of Tribunals, and no longer was the citizen safe from despots.

If I recall, democracy even prevailed in British America, as the trial of John Zenger a German immigrant and publisher in New York proved in 1735, when a jury cleared him of all charges made by the Royal governor of New York.

Today! You Sir have taken the first step to bring back democracy to Canada, that had long been absent since the Trudeau era of despotism. For this I applaud you and hope that other MPs will join you in making democracy a fact of lfe in Canada, so that its citizens can live in asociety free of egal constraints.

I am Sir, Sincerely yours,

Kenneth T. Tellis
