TORONTO (June 18, 1997) - About thirty members of C-FAR (Citizens for Foreign Aid Reform) and CAFE (Canadian Association for Free Expression) turned out to hear Fp president Robert Metz relate his personal experience with the Ontario Human Rights Commission. Both groups are headed by controversial political activist Paul Fromm, whose recent firing from the Peel Board of Education has become his latest claim to notoriety. (See 'Freedom of Speech discussed' Freedom Brief elsewhere in this issue.)
In 1993, Metz (who is not a lawyer) voluntarily defended London landlord Elijah Elieff before an HRC Board of Inquiry, where the landlord was accused of racial discrimination based on a printed comment in the London Free Press which was quoted out of context. The case before the board was won, but a subsequent Ontario Divisional Court appeal, where the landlord was legally unrepresented, overturned the original decision.
Metz openly accused Ontario's Human Rights Commission of being "a blatantly racist organization. It regards all members of 'visible minorities' as being weak, vulnerable, and intrinsically inferior to whites, and proceeds to enact legislation based on this racist belief." To illustrate his argument, Metz reviewed his experience as reported in past Fp party newsletters.

Our appreciation is extended to Paul Fromm, for his kind invitation to speak to his members and supporters.
