Day of the 'Experts'

Poor Andrew Coyne has liveblogged another day in the life of the BC Human Rights Tribunal.

My favourite excerpt of the day:

 . . . we will have gone through an entire hearing about Muslims exposed to hatred in British Columbia without hearing from one single, solitary outraged British Columbian Muslim . . . . We heard from an outraged Muslim — Joseph’s articling student, Kurrum Awan — but he’s from Ontario. And we’ve heard from a British Columbian, the Islamic scholar Andrew Rippin, but he’s neither particularly outraged nor, it seems, Muslim. Even the lawyers were from Ontario . . .

That's what happens when you allow complainants to go jurisdiction shopping.
