CC HQ gets results!

Apparently, the Morlocks at Ezra Levant's Rebel News are keeping tabs on your humble scribe, and have been paying particular attention to my position that most of what they're up to does not even remotely fall under the umbrella of "strategic litigation," which it would have to in order to make all those donations tax-deductible through their shady partner organization, "The Democracy Fund."

That the hacks at Der Rebel are clearly feeling the heat over this topic can be seen by their sudden emphasis on, you know, strategic litigation, as seen in this recent ignorant swill horked up by in-house troll Sheila Gunn Reid:




Yes, it would seem that the good folks at Rebel News and The Democracy Fund are getting a bit nervous about whether their mandate for "strategic litigation" will stand up to CRA scrutiny, so they're going out of their way to keep using that phrase at every opportunity.

We'll see how that ends for them.

P.S. Once again, Rebel News' Sheila Gunn Reid doesn't have the foggiest idea what she's talking about. As I wrote previously, the primary distinguishing feature of strategic litigation is its focus on a very small number of allegedly representative cases (emphasis added):

Strategic litigation is the identification and pursuit of legal cases as part of a strategy to promote human rights. It focuses on an individual case in order to bring about broader social change.

In short, by insisting that Der Rebel is taking "20 strategic lawsuits," Gunn Reid is merely proving, yet again, that she is just as monumentally fucking stupid as ever.

I'm sure you're shocked.

Analogy time!

Rebel Media : "strategic litigation" :: Patrick "Twatsy" Ross : "nullity"

Just because you repeatedly use a certain word or phrase, it doesn't make it true!
