SHAKE DOWN: Winner of the Writer's Trust of Canada / Samara's - Best Canadian Political Book of the Last 25 Years. Part memoir, part investigative journalism, this is a shocking and controversial look at the corruption of Canada's human rights commissions.
"On January 11, 2008, I was summoned to a 90-minute government interrogation. My crime? As the publisher of Western Standard magazine, I had reprinted the Danish cartoons of Mohammed to illustrate a news story. I was charged with the offence of discrimination, and made to appear before Alberta's human rights commission for questioning. As crazy as it sounds, I became the only person in the world to face legal sanction for printing those cartoons." -Ezra Levant
As a result of this highly publicized event, Ezra Levant began investigating other instances in which innocent people have had their freedoms compromised by bureaucrats presuming to protect Canadians human rights. This book is a result of Levant's ordeal and the research it inspired. It shows how our concept of human rights has morphed into something dangerous and drastically different from its original meaning. Shakedown is a convincing plea to Canadians to reclaim their basic liberties.
