Stephans lose legal fee battle; Your Ward News convicted of hate speech; Was rapey priest shuffled around Alberta?

The Legion of Reason

For January 27, 2018....

Christmas came late for me (or really, really early), as we learn that Justin Trudeau has unexpectedly replaced Justice Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould with David Lametti.

Quack Tracks

A judge has ruled that the Stephans will not have their legal fees paid for by the Province of Alberta.

The Regressive Left Files

Comedian Zach Poitras has been denied a spot to perform at the Université du Québec
à Montréal. The reason? He's white and has dreadlocks. The event, the Snowflake Comedy Club, could not have been named more appropriately.

Catholic Watch

A representative of Alberta's Catholic school system says “The courts have told us that we have to be Catholic or there’s no reason for us to exist.” Guess what? There's no reason for you to exist.

A Catholic priest in Calgary's NE quadrant, Malcolm Joe D’Souza, has been charged with sexual assault. I'd chalk this up to a one-off, but over a 26-year span he had been moved between a number of parishes in southern Alberta.

Sound familiar?

And, yes. This was on Bishop Fred Henry's watch.

Embattled ex-Cardinal Wuerl claims lapses in memory over having heard about sexual abuse allegations against Theodore McCarrick. Someone should give Wuerl a Rolodex to keep them all straight.

Miscellaneous...

The two men behind the free Toronto "newspaper" Your Ward News which, among other things, wants rape decriminalized and claims a bloodthirsty Jewish conspiracy is afoot, will appeal their hate speech conviction. Totally forgetting Jesus was himself a Jew, one of the defendants said, "We have Jesus on our side." Ironeeeeee!
